The planning process began in the fall of 2016, and city council adopted it in 2017. CSG led the inventory, mapping and level of service efforts for the master plan. Inventory was completed in the field utilizing ESRI's Collector Application on the team's mobile phones. This process allows staff to rate the condition of the equipment, geolocate all assets and photos. Data is uploaded in real time, enabling staff at the office to see the inventory in process. This accurate data simplifies the level of service process, no matter the preferred methodology for calculating level of service in that jurisdiction. Background and support information included a review of all existing plans; including the Florida Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), demographics, population and service area projections, trends, benchmarking against similar communities. Extensive public input was received through a series of focus groups, open public meetings, a steering committee, meetings with staff and elected officials, and on-line survey. The final master plan incorporated a needs assessment, findings, vision, and an implantation strategy that includes goals, capital improvement estimates, funding recommendations, phasing, and grant application strategy. 12 RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee creating great community places Tab B: Qualifications and Experience The completed Parks and Recreation Master Plan in 2017 led to the identification of priorities for improvements across the system. Dew Drop Park is an existing neighborhood park in the City of Casselberry identified as needing to be updated. CSG led a master planning process in 2018-2019 to build public consensus and create a master plan for the park. The planning process included several on-site public meetings that explored the existing conditions of the parks, different types of potential improvements, and concept plans for implementation of the improvements. An order of magnitude cost estimate was developed for the final plan, and the project is included in the General Obligation (GO Bond) project list that was passed by the voters in 2020.

Learn more.. CSG facilitated the public information campaign that led to the successful passage ofa General Obligation Bond (GO Bond) for parks in the City of Casselberry. The education began in fall 2019, and ended with the passage of the GO Bond in March 2020 (68% yes). The campaign included focus groups to talk with citizens about their feelings towards a bond. The information gathered in the focus groups was used to develop key messages throughout the education campaign. The campaign included the development ofa public information website, www.GoParks2020.org, social media messaging, an informational video, direct mailers, and attendance at public events. All campaign material was produced and translated into Spanish to be certified for use in an election. Since the parks and recreation plan was adopted, the City has been working diligently to implement the priorities established in that plan, even securing grant money to fund the priorities of the plan. While progress has been made, to fully implement the master plan, more funds are needed, and the City Commission guided staff to place a GO Bond question on the ballot. Additional revenue from the GO bond will fund capital projects across the City that will enhance parks, and improve facilities such as playgrounds, trails, and open spaces that provide the settings for recreation, cultural events and natural resource based activities. The funds will also renovate and improve existing athletic fields, recreation complexes, and community centers that provide numerous opportunities for recreational league play, along with diverse mix of community and privately sponsored programs, and events. gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutions RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee 15 CLIENT City of Orlando CLIENT'S CONTRACT MANAGER Denise Riccio, RLA FPR Planner and Grants 407.246.4249 PROJECT DURATION 2019-2020 (estimated) ORLANDO PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN Orlando, Florida GAI's Community Solutions Group (CSG) is leading an update to the City of Orlando Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The last master plan was performed by a different firm, and while had some visioning elements that provided guidance, it was not written in a way to be implementable. To move the City in a direction where they can have an implementable plan, we are approaching the project as partners. We have completed a detailed inventory and assessment report which is also linked to a smart GIS mapping and asset database for ongoing management of all City park assets. The technical inventory was also informed by substantial public involvement including highly participatory public meetings in all 6 City Districts and a City-wide Statistically Valid and on-line surveys. Our team provided facility assessment and programming analysis for all of the neighborhood centers and recreation programming. An in-depth GIS -based connectivity analysis for bike/ped access to parks and recreation facilities was designed to help the City with their 10 Minute Walk Grant from the Trust For Public Land. Our team is also evaluating viable sustainable parks best practices for Orlando based on what's important to the public and obtainable for the department. AH of this information will inform the actual Master Plan recommendations and prioritization of future Parks and Recreation investments. CSG continues to work toward the completion of this master planning effort with the City, Community and our Team. We encourage Ormond Beach to speak with our Orlando reference about their prior plan experience, compared with the in -process CSG update. 16 RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee creating great community places DIVERSE ACTIVE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT CSG is involved with the community at all scales, from regional strategic planning efforts to neighborhood parks.

CLOUD PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN St. Cloud, Florida GAI's Community Solutions Group (CSG) has had an active role in shaping the future vision for the City of St. Cloud. Our multi -disciplinary team has led the effort to develop a broad, transformational body of work for the City, starting with Envision St. Cloud, and including planning efforts for their streetscapes, trails, signature parks, and their Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the City of St. Cloud provides a decision-making guide for the City regarding its park system based on the demonstrated needs of the community, with a strong emphasis on equality. Understanding existing conditions provided the key framework for the master plan including site visits conducted at every park, as well as public engagement sessions to gain an understanding of the needs of the community and the resources available within the existing parks system. Additional geospatial analysis of the park system pinpointed geographic areas of need and organizing system priorities for improvements. Based on this body of knowledge, we developed a series of recommendations for the parks system and an implementation plan providing the City a guide for the next two decades. The Plan was adopted by city council in 2019. Since then, our team has continued to provide guidance to incorporate the recommendations of the master plan into the City's comprehensive plan. 18 RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee creating great community places 1 - Ralph V.

This allows additional outlets for public participation for member of the community who are unable to attend a meeting or are interested in contributing their ideas through these alternative channels. Our team has been incorporating online tools in our public engagement process for at least 15 years. However, in today's world with COVID and other public health challenges, we have successfully expanded our platforms and skillsets to allow full on-line engagement with tools that we are able to create and manage in-house over the life of a project. We invite you to visit www.ChisholmParkPlan.com and www.FloridaAveBikeway.com, both of which are project websites for St. Cloud that were identified as short term priorities in the PRMP. Our team utilizes an Arc/GIS ESRI platform that allows us to create and manage our own project websites, with a variety of tools, surveys, and games ranging from user-friendly photo and comment story maps (via ESRI GIS interface) to street -mix design opportunities and online video presentations. These websites can also host all basic project calendar information, links to presentations and replays of recorded presentations. What's your vision? FLORIDA AVENUE 0.� BIKEWAY =' p T ct Infirod For structured online meetings, we use Zoom or any other platform that our clients prefer. Zoom includes our IT department support, is recordable, and allows for livestreaming with multiple presenters, video, screen sharing and drawing, community comments, and scenarios for 'break out'/ focus rooms. Florida's economy is re -opening, and some public gatherings are now acceptable. We hope to be able to hold small community meetings and outdoor walking audits. However, we recognize that conditions may change from season to season. In all cases, our actions will conform to State and City requirements as well as CDC best practice guidelines. For all in-person meetings or field interactions, we will complete a Health and Safety Plan to ensure that we have a strategy for safety for all, including protective face coverings, gloves, sanitizer and other field safety gear. 20 RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee creating great community places 1 Tab B: Qualifications and Experience www.ChisholmParkPlan.com Proj(let ()word ow r P.A bmd nn*. nanreard d Se Claedrdh.cmw.40.w1-4.q`5 5SMe.u..n4a ..man MEN, ndnem._ 'r rO1Po 19Nutl.i .X.141.4 A CMJdk q[gnOlp lnpMy apo -r. 0M Irl..A trNAT OM dWMY'V MOS.

Tasks included a complete inventory ofthe existing park and recreation infrastructure, a comprehensive public input program, and provided a final vision and master plan for the next 10 years. The inventory was completed using GIS technology that became a live inventory of facilities and amenities that the City can access and update at any time.

MIMPON Tab B: Qualifications and Experience SOUTH MAIN STREET LANE REDUCTION AND COMPLETE STREET Alachua County I Gainesville, Florida GAI's Community Solutions Group led the design of the new streetscape for 3,200 linear feet of South Main Street in Gainesville, Florida. This industrial corridor southeast of Gainesville's historic downtown area has been experiencing new and emergent private development, thus encouraging the need for multimodal transportation uses. South Main Street is also the location of the new Depot Park attraction, two regional bike trails, and the newly expanded and redeveloped Cade Museum. Today, South Main Street carries a traffic volume of less than 15,000 average daily trips (ADT), so roadway capacity exists to reposition the right- of-way to better support the emergent diverse land uses. The plan not only reduces auto lanes, but incorporates new on -street parking, bicycle facilities, and Low Impact Design (LID) "rain garden" stormwater facilities. The street will maintain access for industrial trucks, school bus tours to the Cade Museum, and local traffic to businesses and public amenities. The streetscape is currently under construction through the CRA. gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutions RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee 25 26 RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee creating great community places RIVERPLACE BOULEVARD COMPLETE STREET Duval County 1 Jacksonville, Florida GAI's Community Solutions Group led public involvement and conceptual design exploration of several alternative scenarios for a place -based reconstruction and "road diet" for Riverplace Boulevard.

With a population density of approximately 1,450 persons per square mile, the population of Okeechobee is approaching 6,000. The City of Okeechobee has seen their population grow by more than 5% in the last 10 years, during which time, the median age of the population rose by nearly 18%. This rise in median age is attributable to the growth in the over 65 age cohort, which grew by over 64% from 2010-2020. The total population of Okeechobee is projected to grow by approximately 2% over the next 5 -years (through 2025), with the total population over the age of 65 projected to grow by more than 5% during the same time period. As the demographics of Okeechobee have changed over the last 10 -years, the socio-economic profile of the city has changed also. The the unemployment rate has declined by more than 140%, from 17.5% in 2010 to an estimated 7.2% in 2020. Since 2010 the educational attainment of the population has also improved, with the percent of the population that do not have a High School Diploma declining by over 15% and the percent of the population with a Bachelor's Degree or higher increasing by over 45%. With nearly 700 businesses and an estimated daytime population of over 8,500, roughly 90% of those employeed within the city live outside of the city. Of the Okeechobee residents that are employed, 31 % work within the city while 69% work outside of the city. The City of Okeechobee is located in USDA hardiness zone 9B, immediately north of Lake Okeechobee. While located in the southern third of the Florida peninsula, its natural landscape characteristic resembles Central Florida more so than nearby Treasure or Gold coastal Florida, although with perhaps less hardwood canopy and more pine flatwoods and scrub palmetto. The area's natural ecosystems are heavily influenced by Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek, the latter two which support much of the remaining forested areas in the vicinity. In -town civic spaces include well -manicured planting schemes, providing the shade of canopy trees along with the natural charm of palms and the comfort of open views. To prepare for our planning and design work, CSG's Landscape Architects will spend time reviewing the existing conditions to gain a better understanding of the cultivated nursery plants and related materials which will be most sensible for use. Our goal is to develop long-standing, successful relationships with our clients, many of whom represent repeat business for GAI's Community Solutions Group (CSG) due to our outstanding performance over the years. We anticipate developing this same type of relationship with the City of Okeechobee. Our track record of success is reinforced by our relationships with other Florida cities and counties. 42 RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee creating great community places Tab C: Familiarity of Region Our planners, landscape architects and economists work all over the State of Florida, from small character towns such as Lake Alfred and St. Cloud to large cities like Jacksonville and Orlando. While we have the depth of experience to guide communities, one of the best parts of our job is getting to know the local people- the residents and business owners that call Okeechobee home. One of the best ways to get to know a community is through the lens of a parks master plan. The first scope item listed in your RFQ is the preparation of a City Parks Master Plan. The CSG team includes experts who have dedicated their careers to public parks and recreation, thus enabling us to bring the City of Lake Wales specialized expertise to achieve an optimal parks master plan for your community. Each of our plans are approached individually, and no two are alike. Many clients have specific areas of concentration- some want a focus on capital improvement plans, while some want funding, and others want a philosophy for fees and charges. GAI is the team that can deliver an implementable plan, in partnership with Okeechobee. We believe in parks and recreation as a cornerstone of community (mummify I.ectdership mot 4overmwice The Parks System Plan is the platform that can deliver on the needs of a wide variety of community entities. Parks touch neighborhoods and main streets. They respond to the focused needs of leagues and advocacy groups as well as the unspoken needs of the community at - large. Parks, Trails, Community Buildings, and Recreation Programs interface many governmental departments, agencies, and elected officials. Awell-conceived and funded Parks System can help realize the objectives of many constituents because each investment provides multiple benefits. Getting to Know Okeechobee: The Public Process An essential way to obtain candid feedback is by visiting Okeechobee facilities during "peak times," after school, nights, and on the weekends. We understand local government and parks are not a 9 AM to 5 PM business, therefore we will be there when your users are there. We will ask users the simple question "What do you love most about living in Okeechobee?" to start the conversation.

Assurance that all residents- whether they are daily participants in your programs or are not yet participants- have equitable access to the process is the most important aspect of the plan. The CSG team is prepared to spend time with your community and delve deeply into understanding their needs related to parks and recreation services. At CSG, we pride ourselves in an innovative and engaging public input process. COVID-19 proved that there needed to be alternatives to face-to-face public input. We quickly adapted and have moved several parks and recreation projects to virtual platforms. Projects that we are leading, from www.activate-atl.com that will include a series of community -wide zoom meetings to www.chisholmparkplan.com that takes a deeper dive into a specific site, we have become a leader in virtual engagement. For more traditional, in-person public meetings, we do not stand in the front of room and give a presentation. We engage meeting participants in fun and meaningful exercises at our public meetings to get to their true parks and recreation wants and needs. gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutions RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee 43 Markham - Brothers Cannery 1939-1972 What's Next? Since Okeechobee is seeking a continuing services agreement, we have the opportunity to continue to implement the community's goals in a financially sustainable manner.

Project Manager for the preparation of a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master plan for the City or Orlando. The primary objective of this effort is to build on the accomplishments of the 2010 Vision Plan and establish a future - ready road map that will guide the City's parks and recreation system investments.

Project Manager. As part of the City of Gainesville's Wild Spaces Public Places (WSPP) referendum, used to fund park improvements throughout the city, CSG created a document that guides the design of park renovations and new park development. The document describes the current state of Gainesville's parks, including extensive natural conservation lands as well as a variety of nature -based and active parks. Kristin Cabornd reRREQTCP4ResumeConitiniseitnal With this understanding of current conditions, the guidelines document outlines best practices for the design of elements within each park; specifies detailed requirements for the layout of park furnishings and features; and concludes with specific requirements for the use of hardscapes, furnishings, lighting, and plant material by designers who may retained for park design under the City's WSPP program. • Chisholm Park Master Plan, St. Cloud, Florida. Project Manager. CSG has had an active role in shaping the future vision for the City of St. Cloud. CSG's multidisciplinary team has led the effort to develop a broad, transformational body of work for the City. Beginning with Envision St. Cloud, CSG has been involved with planning efforts for the City's streetscapes, trails, as signature parks—as well as the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP), which prioritized the renovation of Chisholm Park. Since the COVID crisis, CSG has been actively engaging the community regarding improvements to Chisholm Park through online tools that explore site amenity preferences as well as provide virtual tours of the site, a survey, and concept reviews. After public input, CSG will develop concepts, cost estimates, and a final plan that the City can use to envision the future of the park. • Lake Alfred Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Lake Alfred, Florida. Project Manager/Park Planner. Citywide parks and recreation master plan.

Project Manager. Dew Drop Park is a neighborhood park in the City of Casselberry, Florida that was identified as needing to be updated. The planning process included several on-site public meetings that explored the existing conditions of the park, different types of potential improvements, and concept plans for implementation of the improvements. An order of magnitude cost estimate was developed for the final plan, and the project was included in the GOBond project list passed by the voters in March 2020. • Whispering Pines Park, Inverness, Florida.

Project Manger. The Haines City Municipal Pool at Ben W. Graham Park is a dream come to fruition for neighborhood residents. This grassroots effort started with a close-knit community expressing their desire to have a local pool for learning to swim, family time, and exercise. The City hired our team in 2018 to begin the planning process. Early public input was essential, as the neighbors had a vested interest in the design of the pool. The resulting conceptual plan included: a zero -depth entry with play features, shallow water lap lanes for swimming and aquatic exercise, leisure pool space, and a deck that includes shaded areas. The existing restroom building will be renovated to accommodate the pool users, as well as become the main entrance. Design of the facilities finished in 2019, and the contractor was hired in March 2020. The construction is expected to be complete in late 2020. gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutions RFQ No. ADM 03-32-09-20 • Professional Landscape Architect Services • City of Okeechobee 55 [PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK] .
