We believe we offer a uniquely suited team for this contract, one that <br />is well acquainted with the City of Sunny Isles Beach's goals, values, and culture. <br /> <br />As the architect for the Sunny Isles Beach Community School, we benefited from the <br />synergistic and close-knit relationship the local government and resident stakeholders <br />shared. Major projects like this school are the result of a collaborative process, made <br />possible through active community boards and organizations. We worked in concert with <br />this process taking into account not only the school board plan and project parameters, <br />but also the voice of parents, teachers, and neighbors. SBLM is a strong advocate of the <br />"everyone wins" approach where all parties contribute to the success of the project. The <br />Sunny Isles Beach Community School represents the beginning of a partnership with the <br />City that we are committed to developing. <br /> <br />In addition to our familiarity with the City, the proposed team brings a depth of experience <br />and technical expertise that is well suited for the various needs of the City's general <br />architectural contract. Our team has a combined 65 years of architectural experience and <br />offers a diverse set of skills and capabilities. Each team member has worked with a range <br />of private and public sector clients and is well equipped to handle a variety of project <br />types. Over the past two years the team has collaborated on several government agency <br />contracts including projects for the Miami-Dade County General Services Administration, <br />Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and Miami-Dade College. <br /> <br />We are very enthusiastic about this opportunity to assist the City of Sunny Isles <br />Beach. Should you have any questions about our submission, please contact me at <br />jcohen@sblm.com or (305) 412-9187. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />SBLM Architects <br /> <br />t::AIL <br /> <br />James Cohen, AlA, LEED AP <br />Principal <br /> <br />New Ye;d< <br /> <br />MI'::Hll; <br /> <br />Dublin.
