127 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Coastal Systems, along with a multi-disciplinary team <br />led by Shulman & Associates, is working with the City <br />of Miami Beach to develop guidelines and regulations <br />for the renovation, raising, and/or re-purposing of <br />historic structures in low-lying areas of the City that <br />are vulnerable to ongoing and increasing tidal <br />flooding, as well as the long-term impacts of sea level <br />rise. The guidelines to be delivered focus on <br />preserving several historic districts within Miami <br />Beach, protecting the tax base therein, and <br />improving the districts’ resiliency to increased <br />flooding events. <br /> <br />Coastal Systems is currently working with the City to <br />provide a Vulnerability Analysis to verify the costs <br />and/or benefits to property owners and to the City, <br />associated with the scenarios recommended within <br />the Guidelines. Coastal Systems produced an annual <br />cost for the improvements associated with the <br />adaptation alternatives for the historic buildings, the <br />annual estimated damage after adaptation, the <br />estimated insurance premiums, and the estimated <br />increase in property value due to the adaptation. The <br />benefits of adaptation scenarios were weighed <br />against the cost of inaction (“cost of doing nothing”), <br />against which future adaptation measures can be <br />compared. Coastal Systems will validate that the <br />recommended scenarios within the Guidelines <br />represent a net benefit to the private property <br />owners, thus creating an incentive for private sector <br />investment into resiliency adaptation <br />HHiissttoorriicc DDiissttrriicctt RReessiilliieennccyy aanndd AAddaappttaattiioonn GGuuiiddeelliinneess,, <br />MMiiaammii BBeeaacchh <br />Coastal Modeling <br />Stormwater Modeling <br /> <br />RREELLEEVVAANNTT SSEERRVVIICCEESS:: <br />CCLLIIEENNTT:: Shulman + Associates <br /> Ms. Rebecca Stanier-Shulman <br /> 100 NE 38 Street <br /> Miami, Florida 33137 <br /> Tel: (305) 438-0609 <br /> Email: rebecca@shulman-design.com <br /> <br />PPRROOJJEECCTT SSCCHHEEDDUULLEE:: 2019 - 2019 <br /> <br />CCOONNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONN CCOOSSTT:: N/A <br /> <br /> Resilient Design <br /> Economic Analysis <br /> <br />Previous ExperienceCoastal Systems International, Inc.
