D-17 <br />RFQ 20-10-01 Professional Engineering and Architectural Services for Pedestrian Bridge with Park Elements Across A1A at 174th St. CCNA D <br />SoundScape Park serves as both an urban oasis and a gathering place for cultural and special events. Sculptural ‘baskets’ serve as <br />the entry point to the park. These elements marry nature and art and have become an icon for the district, while also providing the <br />area much needed shade. The park features two sound bars and a large outdoor projector, providing ‘Wallcast’ events for visitors to <br />enjoy music events that are occurring inside the New World Symphony. <br />MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER PUBLIC SPACES, MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA <br />West 8 has been involved in the public space development around the Miami Beach Convention Center since 2014. The focus of the <br />Master Plan was to replace surface parking with lush streetscapes and parks that create key connections throughout the community. <br />This green network was completed in 2020 with the finalization of Pride Park. <br />SAVINO AND MILLER DESIGN STUDIO (SMDS), a FDOT certified firm with an award-winning studio, is <br />located in North Miami, and will be the Landscape Architect for this project. SMDS will play a key role as <br />urban designer advising the team regarding the final layout and site planning of the pedestrian bridge/ <br />parkway. The SMDS office is located about six miles from the project site. Their projects in the City of <br />Sunny Isles Beach include the City Hall Landscape Master Plan and Gateway Park. <br />Over the last 25 years, SMDS has worked on several FDOT bridge and streetscape projects. These include <br />the Brickell Avenue Median, Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, and the reconfiguration and beautification <br />of the 41st Street bridges in Miami Beach over Indian Creek and Biscayne Waterway. <br />SMDS has previously worked with EAC on many projects - most recently as Urban Designers and <br />Landscape and Design Architects for the preparation on the PD&E Study for the Tamiami Canal Bridge. <br />In this project, the task included the relocation and design of the Bridge Tender House, as well as bridge <br />aesthetics.
