Peter Jones'
extensive knowledge
of the City of
Sebastian and this
project will ensure
the City receives the
best possible service
without the need to
climb a costly
learning curve.
Project Approach
Our approach to the Indian River Drive /Main Street Improvement project empha-
sizes a diverse project team with decades of experience in the areas of waterfront
redevelopment and innovative approaches to virtually all key areas of this important
project.
Simply put, our approach is based on our following three commitments:
1. Our commitment to client service
2. Our commitment to project excellence
3. Our commitment to successful project implementation
Client Service. Our team has considerable experience working with Community
Redevelopment Agencies (CRA's) throughout the State of Florida. We are sensitive
to the needs of the CRA and those of the project stakeholders, including CRA prop-
erty owners, businesses and those who will use and enjoy this waterfront park.
Our organizational chart illustrates our project management structure which will
ensure frequent and effective communications to both the CRA and to area stake-
holders throughout the planning, design and construction phases. Typically this
communication process entails monthly written status reports to the CRA and
newsletters directed to those living /working in and around the project area. In some
cases, this information outreach is facilitated by regular community meetings or des-
ignated `block captains' who help distribute
Public involvement is key to a successful project
outcome.
project information on a timely basis.
Initially, our public involvement process will
entail a community meeting to update area
stakeholders on the history of the project, its
current status and the conceptual plan, and to
obtain additional community input on the proj-
ect to date. This 'finalization' of the project
plan will then serve as our starting point for
plan refinements and ultimately construction
documentation.
Peter Jones, AIA, will be your Project Director and your central point of contact and
coordination. Steve Boehning, P.E., Engineering Manager, will be the lead design
and construction engineer on the project. As the Vero Beach office manager, Steve
will ensure that engineering staff are fully allocated to project tasks to meet the proj-
ect timeline. Peter's extensive knowledge of the City of Sebastian and this project
will ensure the City receives the best possible service without the need to climb a
costly learning curve. Peter's dedication to the City of Sebastian and the goals of
this project, which he helped to develop, is at the heart of our project team. We
believe that our commitment to client service is unparalleled among all of the project
teams you may be considering.
n
90% of our project
team resides within
15 minutes of the
project site and
your office. Pick up
the phone, and we
will be there.
Project Excellence. The organizational chart identifies senior professionals in all
areas of project emphasis. From public involvement through construction phase
services, we believe our team to be unmatched in their experience and in their
understanding of the planning, design, permitting and construction issues influenc-
ing this assignment. In fact, five of our senior team members have resided in Indian
River County for a cumulative total of more than eighty years.
This means that 90% of our project team resides within 15 minutes of the project
site and your office. Pick up the phone, and we will be there.
Project Implementation. Our experience with CRA's has taught us that the on
time, on budget and excellent implementation of a long anticipated project is your
ultimate objective.
Our project team includes individuals with CRA experience throughout Florida,
including the successful implementation of CRA projects in excess of $80 million. At
the end of the day, most of us prefer `building things' to simply `planning things,' and
we share a commitment to bring these energies to this assignment.
Neel- Schaffer is currently providing professional engineering services to the City.
Past projects include design and construction administration services on the
Louisiana Avenue Road project and design services associated with the Davis
Street Stormwater Baffle Box project. We continue to provide engineering services
on stormwater and roadway projects. Our project experience and positive working
relationships with the City of Sebastian engineering and growth management staff
ensure the successful and cost - effective implementation of the Indian River Drive/
Main Street Improvement project.
Having prepared the initial concept plan for the Indian
River Drive /Main Street Improvement project for the
City, we have already demonstrated that we are
uniquely qualified to understand and anticipate the key
project issues. The project goals are clear and our
team is highly qualified to address the technical, aes-
thetic, programmatic and economic expectations. Key
project issues that we identified helped shape the
organization of our project team and are summarized
below:
Key Project Issues:

We are just minutes away.
Public Involvement: Obtain closure on the concep-
tual plan. Get a consensus early and maintain it through ongoing information pro-
grams with the CRA and project stakeholders.

Urban stormwater
runoff is the most
daunting environ-
mental challenge
for communities on
the Indian River
Lagoon.
Planning and Landscape Architecture:
Design and detail the project to reinforce the "Old Florida
Fishing Village" theme so effectively identified and codified
by the CRA. The design objectives are clear and the theme
identified to reinforce Sebastian's unique ambiance couldn't
be more on target. So how do a street, a parking lot and a
boat ramp help to reinforce this design theme? Let us show
you!
MI ROD Traffic, Parking and Pedestrian Circulation. Shifting
Indian River Drive west to expand the usefulness of the
Competing users of the proj waterfront is a logical and bold initiative. Do park users
ect area must safely coexist. adjust to motorists driving through the park? Or do motorists
adjust to the park users accessing the waterfront? How do we ensure access and
walkability for all park users while addressing the needs of motorists traveling along
Main Street and Indian River Boulevard? These are fundamental questions about
the character and quality of this park, and should be addressed early on. We have
some ideas on this, and would like to share them with you!
From the standpoint of the Florida Department of Transportation, we have an excel-
lent relationship with District Four FDOT, and are well aware of the coordination
necessary during the design of the Main Street and US Highway One intersection.
Environmental, Permitting and Drainage. Urban stormwater runoff is the most
daunting environmental challenge for communities on the Indian River Lagoon. And
Sebastian is no exception. Accurate field survey information; solid geotechnical
data; innovative site engineering and close coordination with applicable permitting
agencies will help ensure that the best plan is developed to meet the CRA's budget
and user expectations, and our collective responsibility to protect the Indian River
Lagoon.
Our team has successfully applied for and received permits from St. Johns Water
Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. We have the experience to address issues that may be
raised by regulatory commenting agencies, including U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and other related entities.
Civil Engineering, Surveying and Geotechnical. Our civil team recognizes
the challenges associated with the multiple users of this project and has the capabil-
ities to understand and address the usability and safety of the boat ramp, circulation
of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, while capturing and enhancing the desired "sense
of place" through project design sensibilities and aesthetics applied by our planners
and landscape architects. Our civil team has identified the need for accurate survey
and geotechnical information -- a must have when preparing construction plans for
an urbanized area. Our civil team will also be exploring the use of `high pervious'
paving materials, alternative pretreatment systems and the interface of hardscape
and softscape improvements in order to mitigate the stormwater issue.
r
i
n
Our commitment
to service, excellence
and implementa-
tion are evidenced
by the team we have
assigned to this
commission and by
Neel- Schaffer's long
term commitment
to the City and the
people of Sebastian.
Construction Phase. Area residents and merchants currently rely on the flow of
traffic on Indian River Drive and on the assurance of safe and convenient access to
their businesses. Too many CRA's have launched projects to "save" a district only to
damage it during a lengthy and poorly managed construction phase. Our approach
makes the following three commitments:
1. To recognize that this project can and will be implemented without needless dam-
age to area businesses and that area residents will know of a construction event
before it occurs, not afterwards.
2. To include on our project team a general contractor (Burkhardt Construction).
Burkhardt Construction is the premier contractor for urban infrastructure in central
to south Florida. They will function as a 'reality check' during our plans preparation,
and will help to develop any special conditions for the bidding process.
3. If it is of interest to the City, our project delivery system might include the use of a
`design /build' contract which has proven to be so effective for medium to small
communities throughout Florida. Logically, we selected Burkhardt Construction
for our team, since they have virtually redefined the design /build delivery system.
Let us show you how!
Public amenities can be funded
creatively, and we'll explore all
options available to the City
Funding and Resource Development. Although
this was not specifically requested in the RFQ, we typi-
cally like to see a project designed to the budget as
defined, while remembering that there are always some
'special features' or project upgrades which may come
from the general public or the CRA. These special fea-
tures don't drive the basic project design, but they may
be designed into the project for implementation later,
using special funding sources or grants. Royal Palm
Pointe in Vero Beach for example, included certain
waterfront improvements contingent upon grants from
the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND). Public art
and special programs for the operations and manage-
ment of this facility are also a potential target for
"Resource Development." Let us discuss with you how
we can leverage your infrastructure investment!
Close. Our commitment to service, excellence and implementation are evidenced
by the team we have assigned to this commission and by Neel- Schaffer's long term
commitment to the City and the People of Sebastian.
We look forward to the prospect of working with you.

Past Performance History with
City of Sebastian
The Neel- Schaffer, Inc. team brings to this project an exemplary performance
history, dating back to 1988 when Project Director, Peter W. Jones, AIA was hired as
the City of Sebastian's first City Planner. The City was in the process of developing
its Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) per the requirements of the State's
Department of Community Affairs. While developing the CLUP, the City recognized
the valuable resource it had in its Riverfront and a few years later, established a
Riverfront Committee whose members adopted a set of principles that has guided
development of the Riverfront to date. Mr. Jones served as Vice Chair and then
Chair of the Riverfront Committee.
M After leaving the position of City Planner, Mr. Jones continued to provide
' architectural and planning services to the City ranging from interior improvements to
the old City Hall to conceptual plan modifications to the City Golf Course when the
Airport made changes to its runway configuration.
' In recent years Neel- Schaffer, Inc. has provided engineering and planning services
to the City of Sebastian including:
' • Conceptual Planning Improvements for Main Street and Indian River
Drive
