MY NAME IS JAMES ALEXANDER. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF ALEXANDER AND JOHNSON PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, INC. WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 21 YEARS. I'VE BEEN JC LICENSED SINCE 2005. OUR SLOGAN IS IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, WE CAN BUILD IT.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT OUR VISION OF EAST PARK.
ALEXANDER AND JOHNSON IS PROUD TO SERVE AS THE LEAD DESIGN BUILDER FOR THIS PROJECT.
WE WERE. WE HAVE BROUGHT TOGETHER SPECIALISTS IN EVERY DISCIPLINE.
ALEXANDER AND JOHNSON, LEAD DESIGN BUILDER AND A SINGLE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
WHILE OUR TEAM INCLUDES EXPERTS IN ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION, THE CITY WILL ALWAYS HAVE ONE TEAM RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERING THE PROJECT SUCCESSFULLY.
AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE ALEX FENECH, WHO WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE VISION OF THE EAST SIDE COMMUNITY PARK AND EXPERIENCE WITH THE RESIDENTS TO HAVE THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVE.
AND NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN. IT'S. I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING YOU ALL AT EVENTS.
SO AS THE PROJECT GOES THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND THROUGH DIFFERENT DESIGN PHASES, CLIFFORD WILL BE SURE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADEQUATELY AND APPROPRIATELY INFORMING THE RESIDENTS AND THE STAFF ON WHAT'S GOING ON.
NEXT SLIDE. AS I MENTIONED, SABAL PALM PARK, SO LAST FALL, WE WERE HERE PRESENTING TO YOU FOR THIS PROJECT AS WELL, AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING UP OUR RELEVANT TEAM EXPERIENCE.
WE'VE LEARNED A LOT ALONG THE WAY AND THROUGH THAT LEARNING PROCESS IS WHAT HELPED US TO CAREFULLY CURATE OUR APPROACH TO EASTSIDE PARK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE LEARNING FROM SOME OF THOSE LESSONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT TOGETHER THE RIGHT TEAM AND THE RIGHT SCOPE OF SERVICES TO SUCCESSFULLY DELIVER THIS PROJECT.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU A VIDEO IN A MOMENT AS WELL AS SOME RENDERINGS.
AND DOMINIC FROM OUR TEAM IS GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH OUR SITE PLAN. BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, WE JUST WANTED TO KIND OF IDENTIFY SOME OF THE KEY DIFFERENTIATORS THAT WERE NOTED IN THE RFP. AGAIN, WE WENT THROUGH STEP BY STEP, PIECE BY PIECE TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE DELIVERING THE RIGHT TEAM, THE RIGHT APPROACH, THE RIGHT STRATEGY FOR THIS PROJECT THAT WAS OUTLINED BY THE RFP.
AND IT'S A HIGHLY VISIBLE PARK PROJECT FOR YOU ALL ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.
AS GUESTS, RESIDENTS, VISITORS ARE DRIVING BY THIS WE HAVE TO GET THIS RIGHT.
AND AS YOU AS YOU'LL HEAR FROM PEGGY AND DOMINIC IN A MOMENT, WE'VE KIND OF TAKEN STEPS WITH SOME THOUGHT LEADERSHIP TO START THE CONVERSATION WITH YOU ABOUT HOW WE FEEL, WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY DO THAT FOR YOU.
[00:10:51]
GOOD MORNING. SO I'M DOMINIC, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WITH RVI.I HAVE THE ABSOLUTE PLEASURE OF WALKING US THROUGH THE DESIGN HERE.
AND THROUGH THAT FLY THROUGH YOU CAN REALLY SEE THAT THE CORE OF THIS PROJECT IS A VERY SIMPLE IDEA.
IT'S THAT THE PARK SHOULD BE DESIGNED AROUND THE PEOPLE WHO'S GOING TO USE IT EVERY DAY. AND EVERY DECISION THAT WE MAKE NEEDS TO REFLECT THE NEEDS OF TAMARAC FAMILIES, RESIDENTS, AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT, WE SEE THIS AS MUCH MORE THAN A COLLECTION OF AMENITIES.
THIS IS MORE OF A CONNECTED COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT WITH A VERY CLEAR ARRIVAL SEQUENCE.
ORGANIZED RECREATION SPACES, AND STRONG PEDESTRIAN NETWORK THAT COUPLES WITH GATHERING AREAS A SIGNATURE WATERFRONT COMMUNITY CENTER AND A PLAYGROUND THAT'S DESIGNED TO CREATE VERY MEMORABLE FAMILY EXPERIENCE. THE SITE PLAN ALREADY SHOWS THE KEY INGREDIENTS OF A DESTINATION PARK AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS REALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS WORK TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT'S WELCOMING, INTUITIVE, AND DURABLE OVER TIME.
THE PLAN ORGANIZES THE PARK WITH PARKING AND DROP OFF AT THE ENTRY.
AFTER THAT, IT'S A CONNECTED CIRCULATION THROUGHOUT THE SITE, AN ACTIVE RECREATION CORE, INCLUDING TENNIS AND BASKETBALL COURTS, A PLAYGROUND AND PICNIC AREA. AND OF COURSE THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT IS COUPLED WITH A COMMUNITY PLAZA THAT UNFOLDS OUTSIDE OF IT.
THE ELEVATED OVERLOOK AND COMMUNITY CENTER ARE BOTH POSITIONED ALONG THE LAKE EDGE. AND ALL OF THAT ORGANIZATION REALLY MATTERS BECAUSE IT'S WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL PARK WITH ALL THE INCLUSIVITY THAT'S IN IT AND HOW THE RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO MOVE THROUGH THE SITE AND HOW FAMILIES ARE GOING TO GATHER AND REALLY ANIMATE THE SPACE AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT.
BUT WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS CREATING THE STRONGER SENSE OF PLACE AND GIVING THE CITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY DELIVER THIS PARK, TO MAKE IT FEEL DISTINCTIVE, MEMORABLE AND UNIQUELY TIED TO THE SITE.
WHAT THIS DESIGN GIVES TAMARAC ISN'T JUST A BUILDING.
IT'S NOT JUST A PARK. IT'S A CIVIC ANCHOR, ONE THAT CAN SUPPORT PROGRAMING, COMMUNITY ACTIVITY, AND A STRONGER IDENTITY FOR THE PARK AS A WHOLE.
SO NOW I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO PEGGY TO REALLY WALK THROUGH THE COMMUNITY CENTER DESIGN.
GOOD MORNING. I'M PEGGY FITZGERALD, ARCHITECT AT NETTA ARCHITECTS.
IT PRESENTS ITSELF TO THE TAMARAC COMMUNITY AS AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ARCHITECTURAL FORM, SEEMINGLY SUSPENDED OVER THE WATER, EVOKING THE IMAGE OF A YACHT DOCKED AT A PIER.
THE OUTDOOR AREA IS DEDICATED TO ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, PICNICS AND CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES ARE DYNAMICALLY CONNECTED TO THE THREE-STORY COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING, THE OBSERVATION DECK AND THE FISHING PIER, FOSTERING SEAMLESS INTERACTION BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS.
NEXT SLIDE. AN INTEGRATED FEATURE OF THE DESIGN TO ADDRESS TODAY'S SECURITY CONCERNS IS A BSO SUBSTATION WITH INDEPENDENT SECURE ACCESS, BULLET RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION AND DEDICATED TRANSACTION WINDOWS FOR COMMUNITY ACCESS.
ENHANCED NATURAL SURVEILLANCE AND SEPTET PRINCIPLES ARE ALSO USED TO BALANCE SECURITY WITH OPENNESS.
NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION WHERE YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE CLEAN LINES AND CONTEMPORARY FORMS. NEXT. THE NORTH ELEVATION IS WHERE THE MAIN ENTRY IS LOCATED, WHICH IS FLANKED ON THE LEFT BY A GLASS ELEVATOR AND THE RIGHT WITH A GLASS AND OPEN STAIRWAY. NEXT, THE WEST ELEVATION, YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE GLAZED SKIN OF THE ENTRY, OF THE LOBBY.
AS YOU APPROACH THE BUILDING AND ITS CONNECTION TO THE OBSERVATION DECK ON THE RIGHT.
NEXT. THE SOUTH ELEVATION, YOU CAN SEE THE PREPONDERANCE OF GLAZING ON THE FACE OF THE BUILDING FOR OPENNESS AND ALSO ITS CONNECTION TO THE FIRST FLOOR AND THIRD FLOOR DECKS. NEXT. THE PROGRAM OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS ORGANIZED VERTICALLY.
THESE ARE BOTH INTEGRATED ALSO WITH THE OBSERVATION DECK.
[00:15:01]
AS WELL WE HAVE THE BSO OFFICE AS MENTIONED, AND SERVICE AREAS ARE REQUIRED.THE SECOND FLOOR HOUSES AEROBIC ROOMS FACING THE SOUTH TOWARD THE LAKE AND A CLASSROOM ORIENTED TO THE NORTH FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. THE THIRD FLOOR HOUSES OUR FLEXIBLE USE ROOMS TO THE SOUTH, OVERLOOKING THE LAKE EXTENDING ONTO THE TERRACE AND FACING THE CITY. AND WE ALSO HAVE A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN ON THE NORTH SIDE.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY LOVES TO ENTERTAIN AND HOLD EVENTS.
AS WE SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER. AND SO THIS ALSO ALLOWS THE PREPARATION AND CATERING TO BE ON SITE.
POTENTIALLY THESE SPACES COULD BE RENTABLE SPACES AS WELL FOR THE CITY.
AND YOU CAN SEE HERE A CAREFULLY DESIGNED KITCHEN WITH EQUIPMENT AS WELL.
FIVE MINUTES REMAINING. THE SPATIAL LAYOUT PRIORITIZES INTEGRATION WITH THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE, EMPHASIZING VIEWS OF THE OBSERVATION DECK, THE LAKE, AND THE BUILDING'S INTERIOR ACTIVITIES.
ESTHETICALLY, THE CONTRAST BETWEEN BUILDING AND ITS IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS ESTABLISHES THE COMMUNITY CENTER AS A DISTINCT, VIBRANT AND INVITING DESTINATION FOR THE TAMARAC COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU. RIGHT. SO DIVING BACK INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE SITE SPECIFIC, THE PLAYGROUND VISION REALLY SUPPORTS THAT COMMUNITY FIRST APPROACH AS WELL. AND BEFORE I DIVE INTO IT, I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE WE'RE JUST RESPECTFULLY SHARING SOME IDEAS.
WE ARE 100% READY TO TEAR AWAY THE SHEET AND START FROM SCRATCH.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A VERY ITERATIVE PROCESS. IT NEEDS TO INVOLVE THE COMMUNITY. IT NEEDS TO INVOLVE THE CITY. IT NEEDS TO INVOLVE THE COMMISSION. SO WE ARE PREPARED TO DO THAT. THE CONCEPT MATERIALS THAT YOU'RE SEEING SHOW A SHADED PRE CONCEPT DESIGN THAT'S SPLIT INTO AGES, GROUPS 2 TO 5 AND 5 TO 12. AND THE PROGRAM AREA IS USING A REQUIREMENT OF 6000FT².
AND IN EVERGLADES THEME DIRECTION THAT CONNECTS PLAY TO LOCAL ECOLOGICAL IDENTITY.
NEXT SLIDE. THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE FAMILIES AREN'T JUST LOOKING FOR ISOLATED EQUIPMENT.
WE'RE NOT JUST TRYING TO BUILD SOMETHING FROM THE CATALOG. WE'RE LOOKING FOR A SAFE, COMFORTABLE, AND ENGAGING PLACE THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW CHILDREN OF ALL DIFFERENT AGES TO PLAY, AND CAREGIVERS CAN COMFORTABLY STAY AND OBSERVE.
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DCP OUTLINES, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A CLEAR COMMUNICATION AND LOGICAL SEQUENCING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. TRANSPARENT DOCUMENTATION AND ISSUE RESOLUTION TO US.
NEXT SLIDE. IT'S NOT JUST THE BEAUTIFUL DRAWINGS, IT'S NOT JUST THE THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, BUT IT'S ABOUT RESPONSIVE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, REAL REALISTIC EXECUTION, AND MAKING SOMETHING THAT'S MEANINGFUL.
NEXT SLIDE. AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SPACE NEEDS TO BE THOUGHT OF ISOLATING CHILDREN AND SPLITTING UP AGE GROUPS, BUT ALLOWING FOR A CENTRALIZED AREA FOR ALL OF THAT TO BLEED INTO NEXT GROUP.
AND OUR TEAM IS POSITIONED TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE PROPOSAL IS BUILT AROUND A PROVEN TEAMWORK, LOCAL MUNICIPAL PARK EXPERIENCE, AND THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S OUTLINED DOES NEED TO SHIFT, AND WE DO NEED TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT. SO ALL OF THAT, THE CONTINUITY HELPS PROTECT THE CITY'S INTEREST AND HELPS ENSURE THAT THE CONCEPT THAT'S BEING PRESENTED TO COMMISSION AND THE RESIDENTS BECOMES A FINISHED PARK THAT REFLECTS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL VISION. OUTFRONT NEXT. WHAT MAKES THIS TEAM UNIQUE IS THAT WE SUCCESSFULLY WORK TO GET.
I'M SORRY. AS A AS A LEAD DESIGNER, OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE CITY INVESTMENT THROUGH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. OUR TEAM FOCUSED ON PROACTIVE, PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION, MINIMIZING IMPACTS TO THE RESIDENTS, MAINTAINING BUDGET CONTROL, AND DELIVERING THE PROJECT ON SCHEDULE. THROUGH OUR DESIGN, BUILD, APPROACH, CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN WORK TOGETHER FROM DAY ONE, REDUCING RISK AND CREATING A MORE EFFICIENT DELIVERY PROCESS.
THE PROJECT. THE PROJECT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT FROM THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS.
TODAY, OUR SCHEDULE IS VERY AGGRESSIVE BUT REALISTIC AND DESIGNED, DESIGNED, EXCUSE ME, DESIGNED TO MOVE EFFICIENTLY THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION WHILE MAINTAINING QUALITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AROUND 15 MONTHS FROM START TO COMPLETION.
MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF, THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEY DID RIGHT IN TIME. RIGHT? YES. 14 MINUTES, 14 SECONDS LEFT TO GO. YOU CAN BREATHE.
[00:20:03]
ALL RIGHT. I AM NOT SEEING ANYBODY TURNED OVER.COMMISSIONER PATTERSON, I'M JUST GOING TO CALL DOWN THE ROLL. WE'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES.
SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE OTHER TWO PEOPLE HERE. GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. CAN YOU GO BACK THROUGH THE THE SORRY.
CAN YOU TURN. IT IS ON. CAN YOU GUYS GO BACK THROUGH THE AMENITIES AT THE SITE JUST SO I CAN SEE WHAT THE BUILDING ITSELF WILL INCLUDE.
OKAY. SO I'M GOOD WITH THE EXTERNAL. BUT HOW MANY PARKING SPACES ARE YOU GUYS? IS THIS A IS THIS A CONCEPT? YEAH THAT'S CORRECT.
THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT. THERE'S TWO EV. IT'S PLUS OR -40 THAT NEEDS TO BE FULLY ENGINEERED.
BUT WE WENT FOR AROUND 42 EV. AND THEN AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S ABOUT THREE ADA AS WELL.
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU SAID? THREE. ADA SPACES AS WELL, WHICH CAN BE REFINED TO INCLUDE MORE.
INSIDE THE FACILITY IS WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT.
WE NOW HAVE ONE LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. COMMISSIONER.
NO, I, WELL, I WAS ASKING FOR YOU GUYS TO KIND OF JUST WALK US THROUGH AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
WHAT DOES THE INSIDE THE THE INTERIOR PROVIDE FOR? SO SO ON THE FIRST FLOOR, ON THE UPPER PART OF THE BUILDING, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT SAYS ENTRY.
AND YOU COME INTO A LOBBY THAT'S OPEN TO THE DECK.
ON THE UPPER, ON THE NORTH SIDE YOU HAVE THE BSO OFFICE.
AS I SPOKE ABOUT SOME UTILITY ROOMS AND RESTROOMS, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ADJACENT TO THE LOBBY, AND THEN STORAGE AREAS ON THE SECOND FLOOR. THE UPPER RIGHT, THE LARGE SPACE ON THE ON THE LOWER PART IS EXERCISE AEROBIC ROOMS. THE UPPER, THE UPPER SPACE IN YELLOW IS A CLASSROOM OR TRAINING SPACE THAT YOU KNOW, COMMUNITIES, THE COMMUNITY CAN HAVE SOME PROGRAMING IN.
AND ON THE THIRD FLOOR, THE TWO LOWER SPACES IS SORT OF A FLEXIBLE USE.
IT COULD BE TWO SPACES DIVIDED BY A MOVABLE PARTITION OR A LARGE SPACE.
AND THE UPPER AREA IS THE COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, WHICH I COULD SHOW YOU IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL.
SO YOU HAVE SOME OF THE STORAGE AREA OF THE FOODSTUFFS OF THE KITCHEN AND THE CLEANUP AREA.
THE LOWER PART OF THE KITCHEN WOULD HAVE ALL THE APPLIANCES THAT A CATERING FACILITY COULD, COULD USE TO ACTUALLY FULLY CATER OUT OF OUT OF THIS KITCHEN.
MADAM MAYOR, MAY I IT'S HER TIME. GO AHEAD. SO, COMMISSIONER THIS IS THE INTERPRETATION OF OUR DESIGN SPECS ON THE RFP BY THE PRESENTER. SO THIS IS A DESIGN BUILD PROJECT.
SO THESE ARE CONCEPTUAL. I MEAN THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO OUR DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS.
AND THIS IS THEIR INTERPRETATION APPROACH TO THAT DESIGN SPACE.
WE WOULD STILL, LIKE WE DID IN THE SABLE PALM PROJECT, WE WOULD STILL GO THROUGH A DESIGN PROCESS TO STREAMLINE OUR EXPECTATIONS AND THE THE, THE FINAL DESIGN BASED ON THAT PROCESS.
SO WITH REGARD TO COSTS I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
RIGHT. WHAT ARE WE. SO CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE EXACTLY? ARE WE PICKING SOMEONE TODAY OR ARE WE JUST HEARING THE PRESENTATIONS? I'M NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR. SO OUR EXPECTATION IS TO SELECT A COMPANY TO TO START OUR NEGOTIATION AND IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AT THAT POINT. BUT TODAY OUR EXPECTATION IS TO LOOK AT THE APPROACH THESE COMPANIES BRING AND THE THE ELEMENTS, CREATIVE ELEMENTS THAT THEY BRING INTO THE CONVERSATION.
[00:25:02]
SO YOU CAN MAKE A SELECTION AND THEN AND THEN THE CITY TEAM WOULD, WOULD, WOULD TAKE IT FROM THERE TO NEGOTIATE A FINAL CONTRACT. YEAH. THE FROM A PROCESS STANDPOINT, IT JUST CONSENSUS AMONG THE COMMISSION MEMBER AND EVENTUALLY HAS TO GO TO THE COMMISSION FOR FINAL APPROVAL. CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU.YEAH. BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY THIS IS SET UP BECAUSE THERE ARE TIME CERTAINS ON PRESENTATION.
WE HAVE DISCUSSION LATER ON. BLESS YOU. NO QUESTIONS.
ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT IT? OKAY. NO QUESTIONS.
ALL RIGHT. SO PIGGYBACKING ON WHAT COMMISSIONER PATTERSON WAS ASKING AND WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATED BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT? IT WAS AROUND 14 MILLION. 14 MILLION. OKAY. SQUARE FEET OF THE ROOMS. IS THERE, BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT HOLD? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE PUTTING IN THE EACH OF THE ROOMS THAT WE'VE GOT? I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS OF OF THE ROOMS, SO SURE.
I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER. APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY PEOPLE FIT IN THE AEROBIC ROOM, HOW MANY PEOPLE FIT ON, I GUESS FLOOR, BOTTOM FLOOR IS REALLY STORAGE.
THE SECOND FLOOR IS KITCHEN AND STORAGE. RIGHT.
SO YOU HAVE THE KITCHEN ON THE SAME ROOM AS STORAGE. I KNOW CONCEPTUALLY THOUGH.
PROBABLY ABOUT 100 TO 120 PEOPLE IN THE AEROBICS ROOM AND 80 OR SO PEOPLE IN THE CLASSROOM.
OKAY. AND REALISTICALLY, WE PROBABLY WON'T BE EATING IN THE AEROBICS ROOM.
SO IT'S ABOUT 80 PEOPLE FOR THE KITCHEN THAT'S DOWNSTAIRS AND 40 PARKING SPACES, GIVE OR TAKE.
ALL RIGHT. SORRY, I'M NOT MEANING TO BE AS BLUNT AS WHATEVER.
IT'S JUST WE'RE QUITE TIGHT ON TIME. I DON'T SEE A DOG TRAIL ON HERE, AND I THOUGHT WE WERE MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE HAVING A DOG PARK AREA FOR THIS PLACE. I KNOW THIS IS CONCEPTUAL, SO I APPRECIATE THE BULLETPROOF GLASS TO PROTECT OUR OFFICERS.
WE HAVE A BALLOT ITEM THAT'S COMING FORTH IN OUR CONTRACT.
YES, MA'AM. EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE. YES, MA'AM.
THANK YOU. SURPRISINGLY TOOK THE TIME. WE ARE GOOD.
MAYOR. YES. MAY I GET A CLARIFICATION IF WE'RE SELECTED? WERE YOU SEEKING A DOG PARK OR A DOG TRAIL TO BE MAYBE CONSIDERED FOR A FUTURE? WELL, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT SPACE IS ALLOWABLE, BECAUSE QUITE HONESTLY, I THOUGHT WE WERE INCORPORATING SOMETHING FOR THE DOGS IN EACH OF OUR PARKS. AND THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT. SO RESIDENTS WHO ARE LIVING THERE HAVE A PLACE WHERE DOGS CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME, AND PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF DOGS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO NECESSARILY ALWAYS BLEND THE TWO. I THINK THE BUILDING LOOKS VERY PRETTY.
ARE THERE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT HAVING GOING OUTSIDE ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
OR ARE THEY TAKEN CARE OF AND TAKEN CARE OF? THEY WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE DESIGN OF A PROPER GUARDRAIL, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT HORIZONTALS WHERE PEOPLE CAN CLIMB ON IT.
IT WOULD BE A GUARDRAIL. AND WHAT'S THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS PROPOSED BUILDING? THE OVERALL TEN 000 IS WHAT WE ASKED FOR. OKAY.
SO 10,000 IS WHAT'S ASKED FOR. WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF WHAT IS PROPOSED? I APOLOGIZE, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT. PRETTY MUCH A LATE ENTRY TO THIS.
NO WORRIES, NO WORRIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
MAYOR, I THINK FROM A PROCEDURAL STANDPOINT, IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION.
I THINK SOME OF YOUR COLLEAGUES MAY WANT TO ASK ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, AND WHATEVER TIME.
[00:30:05]
THAT'S FINE. EVERYONE KIND OF JUMPED IN. CAN WE CAN YOU ALL JUST CLARIFY WHAT ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSED PLAN? FIRST OF ALL, I DO I'M A FAN OF DESIGN BUILD.I THINK DESIGN BUILD IS THE EASIEST AND THE BEST APPROACH.
SO I DO LIKE THE DESIGN BUILD CONCEPT. PREFERABLY BUT, BUT OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED, WHAT WERE THE ELEMENTS THAT WE REQUESTED VERSUS JUST SO I CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THE RFP.
AND SO THOSE WERE YOU KNOW, THE BASKETBALL, THE THE TENNIS AND THE THE OTHER ELEMENTS THAT WAS PART OF THE RFP. AND SO I THINK THIS IS STRICTLY ANSWERING THOSE REQUIREMENTS ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT WE HAVE HERE ARE STRICTLY RESPONDING TO THOSE ELEMENTS. MR. CITY MANAGER FOR ME AND I'M SORRY.
ONE ONE ONE DIFFERENTIATION OBVIOUSLY IS THE THE, IN THE BUILDING ITSELF.
THE BUILDING DESIGN WAS NOT PART OF THE THE CONDITION OF THE GRANTS AND, AND THE BUILDING DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WE ASK FOR ARE OF OUR OWN INTERNAL NEEDS ANALYSIS, YOU KNOW, THE OFFICE SPACE, THE STORAGE, THE BALLROOM OR, OR COMBO ROOM FOR, FOR FLATS OR OTHER EXERCISE YOU KNOW ACTIVITIES ON THE SECOND FLOOR OR THEREABOUTS. SO THOSE WERE THE NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED INTERNALLY.
WHAT ABOUT THE SPLASH PAD? SPLASH PAD? WAS THAT PART OF THE NO.
I ONLY ASKED THAT BECAUSE I JUST I'M WONDERING.
I I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND IF IF IF THE CITY HAD THE DESIRE TO HAVE A BIGGER MAIN SITE WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE? LIKE IF WE WANTED BIGGER, MORE SPACE, IF WE WANTED A BIGGER CENTER IS THE, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND IT'S 10,000FT².
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, QUITE A BIT ALREADY ALLOCATED ON THE PARCEL, BUT, YOU KNOW, IN THE EVENT WE WANTED SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER THAN THAT WAS, IS THAT AN OPTION NOW? I'M SORRY. ARCHITECTURALLY OF COURSE IT'S POSSIBLE.
OBVIOUSLY THE YOU KNOW, THE LAND LAND IS, IS, IS LIMITED.
SO JUST TO TOUCH ON THAT TOO. SO OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET CREATIVE AND MASSAGE THE DESIGN. AND IF THAT FOOTPRINT GROWS, WE GIVE IN OTHER AREAS.
BUT TO KIND OF EXPAND, THIS IS JUST AN AUGMENTATION OF WHAT WAS OUTLINED FOR US.
THIS IS JUST ONE ITERATION OF THE VISION. AND JUST TO REITERATE AGAIN, THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINAL.
WE CAN SHRINK WHEREVER WE NEED TO. WE CAN ADD AND THEN ALL OF THIS WAS EXPECTING, YOU KNOW, TEN FOOT WALKWAYS AND VERY WIDE. SO THERE'S ROOM TO KIND OF MASSAGE WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING ABIDE.
ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT TODAY. SO THE COST WERE PART OF THE PROPOSALS TODAY.
YOU KNOW, AFTER THE SELECTION OF THE THE SUCCESSFUL COMPANY AND PARKING.
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, I KNOW WE HAVE A BALLROOM AND SOME, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A LOT GOING ON.
I IF WE NEEDED ADDITIONAL PARKING, IS THERE A WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT? LIKE WHAT IF THERE'S AN EVENT, A WEDDING OR SOMETHING HAPPENING AND A BASKETBALL GAME AT THE SAME TIME WITH 40 PARKING SPACES? WHAT'S OUR OVERFLOW? SO AS PART OF THE FINAL DESIGN OR THE DESIGN PROCESS OBVIOUSLY THE PARKING FOR THE APPROPRIATE USE OF THOSE FACILITIES WILL BE BASED ON THE CODE AND YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT I HAVE. 1040. SO CAN WE GET THE SECOND QUESTION? NO. CAN WE GET THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT? I UNDERSTOOD THIS WAS A WORKSHOP.
[00:35:01]
THEY JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT THE SAME TIME TO THE OTHER APPLICANTS TO.AT THE SAME TOKEN, WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURES AS WE DID THE LAST TIME FOR SABAL PALM PARK, AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE'S TIME AS WELL.
AND WE WILL HAVE DISCUSSION SEPARATELY AFTERWARDS THAT WILL NOT BE ON SUCH THE SAME TIME FRAME.
SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NO, WE WE COMMISSION CAN HAVE DISCRETION.
ALL RIGHT. SO THE NEXT TEAM COMING IN. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. RECREATIONAL SHOULD BE A RECREATIONAL DESIGN.
THERE'S COMMISSION TIME. SO WE ASKED THEM WHAT WE NEED TO ASK OF THEM, GET THEIR ANSWERS AS BEST AS THE ANSWERS WE CAN RECEIVE. WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH EACH OF THEIR PRESENTATIONS, WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN MEETING AFTERWARDS, WHICH WILL BE ON A NORMAL WORKSHOP BASIS FOR THE FREE EXCHANGE AND CONVERSATION AND QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO ASK.
SO ON ANOTHER DAY, NO, AFTER THIS, AFTER THEY'RE ALL DONE WITH THEIR PRESENTATIONS, AND WE'VE ASKED THEM WHAT WE'VE NEEDED TO ASK THEM WHEN THEY'RE DONE, THEN WE WILL HAVE OUR TYPICAL CONVERSATION QUESTIONS THAT WE COULD BE ASKING OUR CITY MANAGER AND CITY TEAM MORE.
YEAH. ISSUE THAT THE THE COMMISSION WANT TO ASK THE APPLICANT OR THE PROPOSAL THE QUESTION, NOT THE CITY TEAM. I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE ISSUE.
NO. YEAH. WE ARE GOING TO ASK THE APPLICANTS THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE OF THEIR APPLICATION.
IT'S THE SAME WAY WE DID IT WITH SABAL PALM PARK.
SORRY, GENTLEMEN, I THINK, ARE WE READY? ALL RIGHT.
WE NOW HAVE RECREATIONAL DESIGN. WELL, NO WE DON'T.
WE ARE NOT READY. WE NEED PAUL. I CAN'T SPEAK.
OKAY. IF YOU GO TO PRESENTATIONS. YEAH. I KNOW, ALL RIGHT. WE'RE STILL. WE'RE STILL GOOD. OH.
OKAY. READY? WELL, ONE SECOND. WAITING FOR.
WAITING FOR IT TO COME BACK. WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE ON THE RECORD.
EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. AND WELCOME, PAUL. PLEASE INTRODUCE.
THANK YOU. OKAY, SO THE NEXT PRESENTATION IS FROM THE.
RECREATIONAL DESIGN. I'M SORRY. YES. RECREATIONAL DESIGN.
TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES. AND WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THE TEAM ANSWER AS SUCCINCTLY AS POSSIBLE.
BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE BASICALLY NOW FOUR MINUTES FOR EACH OF US TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ASK QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE TIME FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT EAST SIDE PARK.
WE ARE RECREATIONAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS A CONTRACTOR LED DESIGN BUILD TEAM.
EXCUSE ME. AND THIS IS AN ESTABLISHED DESIGN BUILD TEAM.
WE RDC HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 33 YEARS. AND THE DESIGN TEAM STANTEC HAS BEEN WITH US FOR 30 YEARS. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING TOGETHER FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS. WE KNOW EACH OTHER AND HOW WE WORK.
RADKE HAS DONE 500 PLUS DESIGN BUILD PROJECTS IN FLORIDA.
[00:40:03]
400 OF THOSE IN BROWARD COUNTY. 40 ADA PLAYGROUNDS.125 REGULAR PLAYGROUNDS. RESTROOMS. CONCESSIONS SITE REMEDIATIONS.
WE'VE DONE IT. AND, AND FOR PROJECTS FOR TAMARAC ITSELF.
THIS IS THE PARK AND I'M GOING TO ASK ARTURO TO KIND OF GUIDE US THROUGH.
ARTURO IS OUR ARCHITECT. MAYOR. GOMEZ. CITY MANAGER.
COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY. I KNOW WE'RE BRIEF ON TIME.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE WHAT WE THINK IS A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT THAT NOT ONLY INVOLVES AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES AND KIDS TO ACCESS A SITE, HAVE PASSIVE AND ACTIVE RECREATION, AND GIVE YOU WHAT WE BELIEVE IS AN ICONIC BUILDING THAT NOT ONLY SERVES ALL THE FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS, BUT ALSO GIVES YOU A SENSE OF IMAGE THAT IS CONSISTENT TO A LOT OF WHAT WE KNOW IS IMPORTANT TO THE CITY.
OUR APPROACH IS TO CREATE A TEAM THAT GIVES YOU A FULL DESIGN, BUILD DELIVERY WITH ALL THE DESIGN WORK AND ENGINEERING WORK NECESSARY TO GIVE YOU AN EFFICIENT BUILDING. AND A VALUE FOR THE SITE THAT'S IMPORTANT.
ALL OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU ASKED FOR ARE INCLUDED.
THE COMMUNITY CENTER AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000FT².
WE CAME UP WITH A DESIGN THAT WE FEEL GIVES YOU AMPLE ACCESS FOR PEOPLE TO WALK THROUGH A BUILDING WITH A BEAUTIFUL PASS THROUGH THAT NOT ONLY LINKS THE PARKING TO THE BALL COURTS, TO THE CHILDREN'S AREA, BUT ALSO TO THE WATERFRONT, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. AND THAT'S THAT CENTER SPACE THAT YOU SEE THAT I'LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THE TENNIS COURTS ARE THERE, THE BASKETBALL COURTS AMPLE CIRCULATION AND WAYFINDING.
BUT HERE YOU SEE THE IMAGE FROM THE WATER. WE DID A FACADE THAT CELEBRATES THE ART, CELEBRATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ENGAGEMENT WITH PEOPLE AND WITH THE IDEA OF A TAMARAC CITY AND BRINGING NOT ONLY THE CONCEPT OF ART INTO THE LANDSCAPE, BUT ALSO TO THE BUILDINGS SO THAT THE BUILDING CAN CELEBRATE THAT SENSE OF PRIDE.
ART IN PUBLIC PLACES IS A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THE.
THE PATH AND PROMENADE CIRCLING THE SAFETY OF THE OF THE CHILDREN SPACES SO THAT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE VERY CONSISTENT TO OTHER PARKS THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE CITY. AND THEN IN THE BACKGROUND, YOU SEE THE BUILDING THAT WE FEEL IS SORT OF THIS DESTINATION THAT CAN CELEBRATE THE BRAND OF THE CITY, THE CITY FULL OF LIFE.
AND SO WE TRY TO CREATE AN ARCHITECTURE THAT WAS FULL OF LIFE AS WELL AS THE PARK.
WE INTRODUCED INTEGRATED LIGHTING INTO THE FACADE SO THAT THE BUILDING COULD NOT ONLY OPERATE DURING THE DAY, BUT AT NIGHT AS WELL. AND IT COULD BE A BEACON FOR THAT.
AS I SAID, THE BUILDING BECOMES A PIECE OF ARTWORK, DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME ENHANCEMENT.
THEY ARE USED DURABLE MATERIALS THAT ARE HURRICANE AND WIND RESISTANT, BUT ALSO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF, OF IMAGE FOR AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO WORK ON THE IN THE BUILDING, BUT ALSO PEOPLE WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING COMING TO ENJOY THE SENSE OF PLACE. THIS IS AN IMAGE LOOKING TOWARDS THE PARK WHERE YOU SEE THE CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND.
IN THE FOREGROUND. YOU SEE THE THE CIRCULATION SO THAT PEOPLE CAN WALK ALONG THE RIVERFRONT WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS THE RIVER, AND THEN ALSO GO THROUGH THE BUILDING AND HAVE CONNECTION TO THE ACTIVE PARTS OF THE SITE, 6000 SQUARE FOOT PLAYGROUND AMPLE SHADE STRUCTURES AND ALL THE FEATURES NECESSARY NOT ONLY FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN, BUT ALSO FOR STAFF. THE TENNIS COURTS AND BASKETBALL COURTS ARE WELL DESIGNED TO BE IN A PLACE OF THE PARK THAT ALLOWS A SEPARATION OF FUNCTIONS, SO THAT THOSE ACTIVE RECREATION AREAS ARE ALSO WELL PROTECTED, BUT ALSO VISIBLY ACCESSIBLE FROM PEOPLE WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER, AND THEN ALSO DISCREETLY ACCESSIBLE FOR SAFETY AND CIRCULATION IN TERMS OF HOW CARS ENTER THE SITE AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR USING THOSE ACTIVE SPACES, AND ALSO BEING ABLE TO MANAGE THE DIFFERENT AGES AND POPULATION THAT USES.
I LIVE THIS VERY NEAR A PARK THAT MY FAMILY USES ALL THE TIME, AND IT WORKS REALLY, REALLY WELL.
[00:45:05]
THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN IS IS ENVISIONED TO BE INTEGRAL TO THE SITE.JEFF, WHO IS OUR CIVIL ENGINEER, CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THAT.
AND ALSO AMPLIFIED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PARKING TO WORK THERE.
THERE ARE BENCHES EVERYWHERE ALONG THE PERIMETER PROMENADE.
SOLAR POWERED TRASH RECEPTACLES THAT ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACED SO THAT THAT ASPECT OF THE PARK STAYS CLEAN AND SENSE OF PRIDE AND COMMUNITY IS AVAILABLE. AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CIVIL WORK AND THEN WE'LL PASS IT ON TO I'M GOING TO PLAY THE VIDEO AFTER THAT.
GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS JEFF CRUZ. I'M WITH STANTEC.
AND AS JOE SAID, WE WORKED TOGETHER WITH RDC FOR OVER 30 YEARS, PROBABLY SINCE THE MID 1990S.
AND OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, I HAVE DONE MANY OF THEM AND ALSO MANY PROJECTS HERE IN TAMARAC INDEPENDENTLY WITH STANTEC. YOU MAY KNOW OUR NAME, BUT JUST BRIEFLY WANTED TO DISCUSS THE CIVIL WORK ON THE PROJECT.
FROM A SITE CIRCULATION STANDPOINT, WE'VE ACCOUNTED FOR MORE PARKING THAN I THINK WAS INITIALLY INTENDED ON THE PROJECT, BECAUSE OUR READING OF THE CODE IS THAT YOU WILL NEED THAT MUCH PARKING AND IT WILL GET REQUESTED. THE PARKING CIRCULATION IS ORGANIZED IN SUCH A WAY TO TO PROVIDE BOTH EASE OF ACCESS AND EASE OF FIRE PROTECTION WITH A DROP OFF GREAT CIRCULATION AND IN AND OUT OF THE PROJECT AS NECESSARY.
WE HAVE ABOUT 75 SPACES OVERALL FOR THE, FOR THE PROJECT.
DRAINAGE DESIGN IS GOING TO BE ALL NEW UP TO CODE FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITH THE DISCHARGE TO THE ADJACENT CANAL, BUT MAINTAINING ON SITE AS REQUIRED BY BROWARD COUNTY, THE MINIMAL STORMS AND WATER QUALITY TREATMENT.
AND FOR WATER AND SEWER, THE BASICS ARE PROVIDED RIGHT THERE IN THE ROADWAY TO THE WEST.
SO WE'LL BE GETTING NEW SERVICES FOR FIRE DOMESTIC WATER AND SANITARY SEWER.
SO THOSE ARE THE BORING PARTS THAT WE'LL JUST, WE'LL JUST WORK FOR YOU.
SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO JOE. PROJECT CLOSEOUT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO AS PART OF OUR BUSINESS.
AND, AND OUR TEAM IS COMMITTED TO DELIVERING SEAMLESS, WELL DOCUMENTED CLOSEOUT.
A LOT OF TIMES WE VIDEOTAPE THESE BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, THEY EITHER MOVE ON OR FORGET.
SO THESE, THESE ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AND VIDEOED SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW TO USE THE FACILITY.
WE'VE PREPARED THE SCHEDULE SO THAT IT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PRE-CONSTRUCTION, SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND FINAL COMPLETION. AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO PLAY THE VIDEO NOW BEFORE WE GO ON TO OUR BUDGET.
WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO RUN OUT OF TIME. SEE IF I CAN.
I'M NOT SURE HOW TO EXECUTE. THIS DOESN'T EXECUTE BECAUSE THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO CONNECTION.
THERE'S NO CONNECTION. OKAY. JUST KEEP GOING FORWARD.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. AND THEN ERIC IS OUR CHIEF ESTIMATOR AND ALSO A RESIDENT OF TAMARAC.
AND HE'S JUST GOING TO TALK FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS ON OUR BUDGET.
AND I'M PLEASED TO BE HERE TALKING ABOUT THE DESIGN BUILD PROPOSAL.
THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS BEING DESIGN BUILD IS, YES, WE HAVE AN $11,900,000 BUDGET.
AND IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE SOME CHANGES, SAY, CUT OUT 20 PARKING SPACES FROM THE 78.
WE CAN PUSH THE GREEN SPACE THAT AWAY. GIVE YOU SOME MORE GREEN SPACE IF YOU NEED MORE PARKING.
WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OVER HERE IF WE WANT TO MAKE SOME CHANGES OR YOU DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE THE LAYOUT OF THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, WE CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES. I CAN PUT UP A NEW BUDGET.
THE SAME THING ABOUT THE LAYOUT INSIDE THE BUILDING.
WE'VE GOT THE 4 OR 5 MAJOR COST ELEMENTS. AS WE'VE GOT OUR SITE WORK, WE'VE GOT THE BUILDING
[00:50:03]
WE'VE GOT THE PLAYGROUNDS AND THE PAVING AND THE PARKING.AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ALL ROLLED UP AND WE CAN, ONCE WE GET GOING, SIT DOWN WITH COMMISSIONERS, GET SOME INPUT FROM YOUR USER GROUPS, AND WE CAN CHANGE IT AND PULL A NEW BUDGET, PULL THE NUMBERS DOWN.
IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ADD SOMETHING ELSE, LIKE A HELICOPTER PAD ON TOP OF THE ROOF.
IT'S REALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN GOING TO PUBLIX FOR YOUR GROCERIES.
YOU GET A COUPLE OF LOAVES OF BREAD, YOU GET SOME DONUTS, YOU GET SOME COLD MEAT, SIX PACK OF BEER, YOU GET $100 IN YOUR POCKET, IN YOUR POCKET. YOU GET UP TO THE CHECKOUT IF YOU GO OVER.
IF YOU'RE AT 102, YOU CAN EITHER PUT THE BEER BACK, YOU CAN CALL HOME, TALK TO YOUR ACCOUNTANT, AND MAYBE SHE'LL TELL YOU TO GO OVER BUDGET SO YOU CAN GET THE BEER.
AND IF WE COME IN AT $96 WITH $100 IN OUR POCKET, THEN WE PICKED UP 4%.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH YOU GUYS. AND I'M GOOD AT IT.
BUT. BUT WHY SELECT RDC? WE'RE A LOCAL PROVEN DESIGN BUILD FIRM WITH RICH EXPERIENCE.
WE HAVE A OBVIOUSLY A HISTORY WITH STANTEC. WE HAVE PROVEN FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
TOP MANAGEMENT WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE ENTIRE PROJECT.
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE IS WHAT WE DELIVER AND WE HAVE THE CAPACITY, THE EXPERIENCE AND THE EXPERTISE TO BRING YOUR PROJECT, THE EAST SIDE COMMUNITY PARK TO REALITY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. NOW WE'RE GOING TO PLAY THE VIDEO FINISH WITH THIS AND.
HOPEFULLY IT WORKS. THERE WE GO. HERE YOU CAN SEE A VIDEO THAT GIVES YOU THAT SENSE OF THE CITY FOR YOUR FOR LIFE. HERE'S A VIEW OF THE BUILDING AND THE ENTIRE ENSEMBLE FROM THE WATERFRONT.
YOU SEE HOW THE BUILDING OPENS UP FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WALK FROM THE PARK.
THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED WITH A BEAUTIFUL ENCLOSURE THAT WORKS AT NIGHT.
THERE IS AMPLE ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AROUND.
THERE IS THE GAZEBO FOR THAT ELEMENT, AND THEN AT NIGHT, THE BUILDING BECOMES A BEAUTIFUL ICON SO THAT EVERYTHING WORKS DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT AS WELL. SO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.
UP TO OUR QUESTION AND ANSWER. SO COMMISSIONER VICE MAYOR, YOU WERE NOT HERE.
WE HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR EACH OF US TO ASK A QUESTION.
DID YOU WANT TO GO FIRST? OKAY. COMMISSIONER.
DANIEL. NO. COMMISSIONER. RIGHT. COMMISSIONER PATTERSON.
WHAT I SAW WAS CORRECT WITH OR WITHOUT THE BEER.
BUT I'M GOING TO SAY DOG PARK. I SEE NOTHING IN THERE FOR THE DOGS.
AND LIKE A DOG TRAIL, PEOPLE LOVE THEIR DOGS.
THANK YOU. NOW I KNOW YOU GAVE US GENERALLY THERE WILL BE FLEX ROOMS IN THIS ROOM IN THAT ROOM, BUT AND IT'S 10,000FT². THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A KITCHEN.
WHAT AN EXCUSE THE VOICE PLEASE. WHAT IS THE PROPOSED ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO USE? HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE USING THE ROOMS. I THINK YOU CALL THEM FLEX ROOMS. SO THERE ARE TWO FLEX ROOMS. LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND IT.
WE FOLLOWED THE PROGRAM THAT YOU HAD GIVEN US.
SO THERE IS A KITCHEN ON THE SECOND LEVEL, AND THE TWO FLEX ROOMS ARE THE MEETING ROOMS, A BANQUET FACILITY, WHATEVER YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO USE THEM FOR. THEY'RE DESIGNED TO BE EXPANDABLE AND, YOU KNOW, MADE A LITTLE SMALLER. BUT THERE IS THE KITCHEN, THERE IS THE STORAGE THAT YOU, YOU ASKED FOR IN THE PROGRAM.
AND THAT'S ON THE SECOND FLOOR. THAT'S THE PROPOSED SECOND FLOOR. SO HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD FIT IN IF WE HAVE BOTH FLEX ROOMS OPEN, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE FITTING IN THE ROOM? I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBER OF THE CAPACITY.
[00:55:05]
ANY NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN TERMS OF THE BUILDING BEING ABLE TO BE LARGER THAN JUST AN INDIVIDUAL ROOM.I MEAN, I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE COUNT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE THE ACTUAL NUMBER, BUT THE GROUND LEVEL IS COMPLETELY FLEXIBLE SO THAT THAT SPACE NOT ONLY CAN BE USED ON THE INSIDE, BUT ON THE OUTSIDE AS WELL. RIGHT. I DO LIKE THE BATHROOMS FRONT, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 10,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $12 MILLION. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DESIGN.
WE'RE TALKING YOU SAID IF I HEARD CORRECTLY, SOMEWHERE IN THERE, 78 PARKING SPACES IS WHAT? YES. 78. SO IF WE HAVE 78 PARKING SPACE, WE WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THE BUILDING CAN FILL IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY, IF WE'RE HAVING, YOU KNOW, KITCHEN AREA IN THERE AS WELL.
SO JUST KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT THE ACTUAL ABILITY TO USE THE BUILDING.
SO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE WELCOME. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANKS.
QUESTION. WE HAVE TIME SET CERTAIN WITH THE NEXT GROUP.
IF THEY'RE AVAILABLE, THEY CAN COME FORWARD. CORRECT. OKAY, GOOD.
WE DON'T BITE. IT'S OKAY. COME ON IN. BREATHE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. HOW ARE YOU DOING? GOOD. HOW ARE YOU DOING? THAT'S WHAT WE SAID. WHICHEVER HOT SEAT YOU WANT.
WE MAY NOT BITE, BUT YOU KNOW THE HEAT'S ON. GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING. DO WE HAVE THE PRESENTATION? DO YOU HAVE A POWERPOINT? YEAH. YEAH. IT'S ACTUALLY A PDF. YEAH. ONE SECOND.
EVERYONE. OKAY? YOU CAN PUT IT IN. YES. DO WE NEED TO CALL RISK? I WILL LATER. I DON'T THINK THEY COVER PAPER CUTS, THOUGH, SO JUST, YOU KNOW.
SO WELCOME. IT IS CURRENTLY 1004. WE'LL HAVE 30S OF GIVING YOU THE RULES OF THE ROAD.
GO AHEAD. PAUL MR.. GOOD MORNING. SO FOR THE ORAL PRESENTATION, IT'S A 30 MINUTE TIME PERIOD, 15 MINUTES IS NOT GIVEN TO YOU TO PROVIDE YOUR PRESENTATION AND TO BE FOLLOWED UP BY A 15 MINUTES.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. AND I'LL BE TRACKING THE TIME, AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE AT THE FIVE MINUTE MARK FOR YOUR PART AND FOR THE Q&A PART AS WELL. AND WE ASK WHEN WE ASK QUESTIONS, BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR THE FIVE OF US.
SO BE SUCCINCT AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND WELCOME.
THANK YOU ALL. DO WE HAVE TO BE SWORN IN OR NO.
PROMISE? SWEAR. OKAY. AMAZING. THANK YOU ALL.
GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS AND CITY STAFF.
OKAY. MY NAME IS ALEXANDER. I'M WITH ID ARCHITECTS.
[01:00:07]
FIRM, ID ARCHITECTS LLC, AND OUR SISTER COMPANY, TLA ARCHITECTS THAT IS DOWN IN CANADA.OUR PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON CREATING A VIBRANT GATHERING PLACE THAT COMBINES RECREATION, COMMUNITY PROGRAMING, TECHNOLOGY, AND A UNIQUE WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE.
HERE IS AN OVERALL PREVIEW OF OUR PROJECTS, WHICH WE WILL DIVE INTO MORE IN DETAIL.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A SNIPPET OF IT FIRST.
WE ENVISIONED A PLACE FOR FAMILY WHERE FAMILIES CAN GATHER, CHILDREN CAN PLAY, SENIORS CAN EXERCISE, AND RESIDENTS CAN ENJOY A NICE WATERFRONT. EVERY DAY THE CANAL BECOMES A FEATURE RATHER THAN A LIMITATION.
OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A PARK THAT RESIDENTS CAN ENJOY TODAY WHILE PROVIDING A DURABLE AND LONG, RESILIENT FACILITY THAT WILL SERVE COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES.
THIS IS THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST VIEW OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
WE WANTED VISITORS TO IMMEDIATELY, IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE THE THE COMMUNITY DESTINATION.
WE WANTED IT TO BE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN CONNECT TOGETHER FOR RECREATION, EDUCATION EVENTS, AND SOCIAL GATHERINGS, SOCIAL INTERACTIONS. SO THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.
VISITORS CAN MOVE EASILY BETWEEN THE PLAYGROUNDS, SPORTS COURTS, FITNESS AREAS, PICNIC SPACES, AND WATERFRONT AMENITIES. THROUGHOUT THE INTERCONNECTED TRAIL SYSTEM, EVERY ELEMENT HAS BEEN PLACED TO MAXIMIZE ACCESSIBILITY, VISIBILITY, SAFETY, AND ENJOYMENT FOR ALL ITS USERS.
AT THE ENTRANCE WE HAVE WE, WE UTILIZED MORE OR LESS THE EXISTING LOCATION OF THE PARKING, THE PARKING LOT. WE ARE WELL ABOVE THE REQUIRED COUNT.
WE ARE SURROUNDED TO THE NORTH BY OUR BASKETBALL COURT, FOLLOWED BY AN OUTDOOR FITNESS PAD, WHICH WAS AN ADDITIONAL ITEM THAT WE THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE REQUESTED PROGRAM THAT WE'RE OFFERING HERE.
AND. AND FINALLY, A TENNIS COURT ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST.
ALL WILL BE WELL ILLUMINATED WITH LED POLES, WHICH MEET CITY REQUIREMENTS.
AND AFTER THAT, TO THE EAST SIDE, WE STRATEGICALLY PLACED A 600 ZERO SQUARE FOOT COVERED PLAYGROUND, AS YOU CAN SEE TO BELOW THE TENNIS COURT RIGHT THERE.
AND IT'S ADJACENT DIRECTLY TO THE PAVILION PICNIC PAVILION FOR CLEAR REASONS AND SAFETY.
THEN THE FOCAL POINT OF THE SITE WHERE WE HAVE OUR TEN ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FOOT, TWO STORY COMMUNITY CENTER BEHIND OUR BEAUTIFUL CONCRETE PILE, SUPPORTED OBSERVATION BRIDGE, DECK AND PIER. WE WILL DIVE IN DEEPER LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION AND WE'LL GET A CLOSER LOOK ON THAT ON THE, ON THE PIER AND THE PAD AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
THE ENTIRE PROJECT WILL BE WRAPPED BY A TEN FOOT WIDE MULTI-USE TRAIL.
WE ALSO ON THE, TO THE EAST OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER, YOU'LL SEE WE HAVE SOME, NICE SWING STATIONS THAT WE'VE ADDED TO THE PROJECT FACING THE WATER IN ORDER TO CREATE SOME INTIMATE MOMENTS AND AND NICE MEMORIES.
SO. THIS IS OUR FIRST FLOOR PLAN OF THE PROJECT OF THE OF COMMUNITY CENTER.
THE FLOOR ALSO INCLUDES ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, COMMUNITY COMMUNITY GATHERING AREAS, SUPPORT SPACES LIKE CLASSROOMS, EMPLOYEE BREAK ROOMS, THE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL OFFICE OFFICES, AND THE INTEGRATED BSO SUBSTATION.
THAT ALL PROVIDE VISIBLE, VISIBLE PUBLIC SAFETY PRESENCE WITHIN THE FACILITY.
THIS CREATES A BUILDING THAT IS BOTH SAFE, FUNCTIONAL, AND COMMUNITY ORIENTED.
[01:05:05]
WHICH WILL ACHIEVE APPROXIMATELY 30FT HIGH IN HEIGHT.A NICE OPEN SPACE THAT WHICH GIVES THE ENTRANCE A GRANDIOSE FEELING.
AND THIS IS OUR SECOND FLOOR. OUR SECOND FLOOR PROVIDES FLEXIBLE, FLEXIBLE SPACES THAT ADAPT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT NEEDS, YOU KNOW, THAT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS OVER TIME.
OBVIOUSLY, WHETHER IT'S FITNESS CLASSES, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY MEETINGS, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND PRIVATE RENTALS, THESE ROOMS CAN ACCOMMODATE A WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES.
WE HAVE AS YOU SEE BELOW THERE, IT'S OPEN TO BELOW WE HAVE A FLEX EVENT FOR MORE OR LESS 50 PEOPLE.
THE FLEX EVENT NEXT TO THE AEROBIC FOR 100 PEOPLE.
NICE LOBBY WITH A CONNECTED WITH THE, WITH OUR WITH OUR ELEVATOR, WE HAVE STORAGE BATHROOMS, A WARMING KITCHEN, LOCKER ROOMS. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ALSO HAVE THREE STAIRCASES.
THIS IS WELL ABOVE THE OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS.
AND WE CAN GO BACK HERE. WE CAN COME BACK AND DIVE IN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LATER.
THIS IS OUR WATERFRONT ELEVATION. ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING ASPECTS OF THIS PROJECT IN THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND THE WATER, THE WATERFRONT TERRACE EXTENDS ACTIVITIES OUTDOORS AND PROVIDES RESIDENTS WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS TO THE WATER.
THESE OUTDOOR SPACES CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RELAXATION, SOCIAL GATHERING, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS WHILE ESTABLISHING A STRONG VISUAL IDENTITY FOR THE PARK. AND THIS IS THE ARRIVAL FACADE. THE ARRIVAL FACADE IS THE FIRST IMPRESSION THAT THE VISITORS WILL WILL EXPERIENCE WHEN ARRIVING TO THE PARK.
WE ARE PRESENTING THE DIFFERENT USES OF USAGE OF MATERIALS HERE LIKE COMPOSITE WOOD, ALUMINUM SIDING, NATURAL STONE, SMOOTH STUCCO, AND ALUMINUM, ALUMINUM SHADING DEVICES WITH THE LATTER CHANNEL SIGNAGE THAT READS TAMARAC THE CITY FOR YOUR LIFE.
HERE IS THE LOBBY. SO THIS LOBBY IS DESIGNED TO BE THE LIVING OF LIVING ROOM OF THE COMMUNITY.
OKAY. NATURAL LIGHT FILLS THE SPACE WITH PUBLIC PUBLIC ART SCULPTURES, LANDSCAPING, FEATURES.
WE HAVE NATURAL LIVING GREEN WALLS ON THE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT, COMFORTABLE GATHERING AREAS THAT CREATE LIVING, NICE LIVING, INVITING A NICE LIVING ATMOSPHERE.
VISITORS IMMEDIATELY HAVE ACCESS TO THE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL SERVICES TO THE LEFT WHILE THE INTEGRATED BSO SUBSTATION PROVIDES AN ADDED SENSE OF SECURITY TO THE COMMUNITY PRESENCE. THIS IS OUR LOUNGE. FURTHER DOWN IN THE PROJECT, THIS LOUNGE AREA PROVIDES A NICE, COMFORTABLE, RELAXING AREA TO SOCIALIZE, CONNECT WITH PLENTY OF NATURAL LIGHTING.
AS YOU CAN SEE. WHETHER SOMEONE IS JUST ATTENDING AN EVENT, WAITING FOR A CLASS, OR SIMPLY VISITING THE PARK, THIS PLACE ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY INTERACTION AND CREATES A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT TO ALL FOR ALL AGES.
AND FINALLY, HERE WE HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL OBSERVATION DECK AND PIER.
SO THE OBSERVATION DECK REPRESENTS ONE OF THE SIGNATURE AMENITIES OF THIS PROJECT.
THIS IS SOMETHING, A PLACE THAT PEOPLE WILL UTILIZE A LOT AND BRING A NICE FEELING TO THE, TO THE COMMUNITY. SO WE HAVE OUR SIGNATURE WATERFRONT ATTRACTION, AN ADA ACCESSIBLE OBSERVATION DECK AND PIER.
MULTIPLE EXTENDED VIEWING PLATFORMS ALONG THE CANAL.
WE HAVE IDEAL LOCATION FOR FAMILY PHOTOS, ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS, SPECIAL MOMENTS.
WE CREATE SHAREABLE SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT THAT PROMOTES THE PARK ORGANICALLY.
THIS IS, THIS WOULD BE A DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME DESTINATION WITH DECORATIVE LIGHTING.
THE WATER FEATURE, WHICH WOULD BE BOTH WATER FEATURES, WHICH FIVE MINUTES REMAINING.
THANK YOU. WHICH WOULD ALSO HELP WITH REDUCING THE REPRODUCTION OF MOSQUITOES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE OUR WE PROPOSING SOME SOME WATER FOUNTAINS.
[01:10:05]
MULTIPLE PHONE AND COMPUTER CHARGING STATIONS. WE HAVE DIGITAL INFORMATION KIOSKS, EV CHARGING STATIONS, SMART WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. HERE IS THE WATERFRONT.THIS IS THE WHAT YOU SEE THE WATERFRONT THE PIER WITH OUR WITH OUR WATER FOUNTAINS.
THAT WOULD HELP ALSO WITH MOSQUITOES. OKAY, SO WE DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE JUST STAGNANT WATER.
THIS IS THE THIS IS OUR, THE, THE BACKSIDE OF THE PROJECT FACING FACING THE STREET.
WE HAVE, AS YOU CAN SEE, A LOT OF A LOT OF GLASS, A LOT OF OPENING AN ALUMINUM FEATURE HERE, AN IMPRESSIVE OUTDOOR OUTDOOR SEATING AREA. WE ARE PROPOSING ALSO A THIRD LITTLE NOOK OR BOUTTE LITTLE.
I'M GOING TO CALL IT A LITTLE BOOTH WITHIN THE PIER FOR SOCIAL GATHERINGS.
WE WERE PROPOSING AN EXTERIOR RATED SCREEN FOR EVENTS, SPORTS EVENTS, YOU NAME IT.
PEOPLE ARE INVITED TO GO WALK, HAVE A SEAT, AND CREATE FEATURE MEMORABLE MOMENTS WITH FAMILIES.
PROPOSAL INCLUDES A REGULATION SIZE, BASKETBALL COURTS, REGULATION SIZE, TENNIS COURTS, AND AN ADDED OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT IN THE IN THE CENTER, WHICH TIES IT ALL UP. WE HAVE OUR PLAYGROUND, WHICH IS COVERED.
A COVERED PLAYGROUND FOR FOR DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS, 6000FT².
AND THIS IS THE ARRIVAL CONNECTIONS IS ONE OF THE KEY PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE DESIGN.
LET ME PLAY A QUICK VIDEO. HOW CAN I. OH THANK YOU.
THIS WILL GIVE YOU AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE PROJECT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS A QUICK JUST AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART.
IF YOU GUYS. OKAY. OKAY. PERFECT. PERFECT. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE AN IDEA. I SAW THAT THE COST.
[01:15:01]
AND THE BOOK SAYS 12. FIVE. YES. PARKING. HOW MANY SPOTS DO YOU LIKE 40.42. 44 IN THAT AREA. IT'S TWO FLOORS IN HERE.
IS IT A REINFORCED BOTTOM? IF IT NEEDS TO GO INTO EACH OTHER FOR THE PILES, FOR THE BUILDING, IF IT NEEDS. IF THE CITY. MAY I ANSWER YES? YES, MADAM MAYOR, WE CAN DO THIS, BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE THE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE BUILDING. THAT THING IS REQUIRES ANOTHER 60 POUNDS OF ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ROOF TOP LEVEL, WHICH MEANS IT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE COST A LITTLE BIT. I JUST WANT TO. WE CAN DO IT.
WE CAN DO THE THIRD FLOOR. WE HAVE TO TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO THE THIRD FLOOR, AND WE CAN DO THE THIRD FLOOR DECK IF YOU WANT TO. IF WE WANTED TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE, THE PUTTING IN REINFORCEMENT TO DO THE THIRD FLOOR IN THE FUTURE WOULD BE AN ADDITION.
WE CAN ENGINEER IT. YES. OKAY. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY FOR DOGS.
DOG WALKING IN THE AREA. THERE'S PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF DOGS.
I KNOW YOU'VE GOT THE TEN FOOT WIDE TRAIL, BUT I'M PUTTING IT IN THERE FOR THE THOUGHT OF A CONCEPT TO HAVE AN AREA THAT'S SPECIFIC WHERE PEOPLE WOULD BE COMFORTABLE, WHERE PEOPLE'S DOGS COULD BE LOOSE, OR WALKING THEIR DOGS AND NOT BE AFRAID OF COMING UPON THEM.
I SEE YOUR TIMING FOR THIS IS 24 MONTHS. 24 MONTHS.
YEAH. I SEE THE LOCKER ROOMS WERE TO THE LEFT, WHICH IS CUTE OR.
OKAY, I'M LOOKING AT THE BUILDING LIKE THIS IN MY HEAD.
IT'S ON THE LEFT, THAT SIDE OF THE BUILDING. BUT YOU HAVE THE WATER CLOSET, SO TO SPEAK.
THE BATHROOMS TO THE RIGHT. YES. YEAH. NO, NO.
RIGHT THERE. YOU HAD IT ON THE SECOND FLOOR. SECOND FLOOR. JUST CURIOUS WHY THE LOCKER ROOMS MIGHT NOT BE CLOSER TO WHERE THE BATHROOMS ARE. IN CASE, PRESUMING YOU'RE CHANGING YOUR CLOTHES TO GO INTO AN AEROBICS ROOM OR AN EVENT, THERE COULD BE. YEAH. JUST JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, JUST I MEAN, JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE.
AND FOR WHAT? IT APPEARS THAT THIS SECOND FLOOR WOULD HOLD APPROXIMATELY 150 PEOPLE IS WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR, RIGHT? AND IT ALLOWS FOR VOTING. AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS ON THE CITY, WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ON THE LIABILITY FOR HAVING VOTING BEING DONE.
RIGHT. THAT'S ON OUR NO, THAT'S JUST DECORATIVE.
IT'S JUST DECORATIVE. WE WANT TO BE A VOTING EXPERIENCE. IT WAS JUST TO, TO JUST AS A FEATURE, IMAGINE IT AS A SCULPTURE IN THE WATER TO TAKE A PIECE OF ART.
WELL, JUST. LOOK, I THINK SOME OF OUR PARKS REALLY SHOULD HAVE A WATER FEATURE THAT IS ACTIVE, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER STORY FOR A WHOLE OTHER TIME. BECAUSE WE'RE TIGHT ON TIME, TRYING TO.
OKAY, WELL, I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE PADDLE BOAT TO SOME OTHER PARK THAT WE DON'T HAVE THERE YET.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU.
AT THIS TIME, YOU ARE FREE TO MOVE ABOUT THE CABIN. THANK YOU.
WHAT AN AMAZING WEEK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
YES. NOT A BAD THING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE BUILDING UP A TIME WHEN WE GET TOGETHER LATER.
GOLF IS NEXT FOR. THE PERSONNEL ARE HERE, BUT THEY'RE WAITING FOR TWO MORE.
[01:20:02]
SO THEY ARE KIND OF ON SCHEDULE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE THEY COME IN.SO IT'S 1125. THEN WHAT DO THEY NEED. ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AT 1155. SO OBVIOUSLY WE'RE EARLY.
BY HALF AN HOUR. AND I'M PRESUMING SINCE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BREAK AT 1230 TO 1240.
PROMETHEAN BUILDER IS NOT HERE EITHER, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE.
THEY SHOULDN'T BE HERE. THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON UNTIL 1245.
SO AT THIS TIME WE'LL TAKE A 20 MINUTE BREAK.
SO WE CAN POSSIBLY START EARLY. WE'LL CHECK BACK AT 11 1045.
WE WILL CHECK BACK AT 1145. SO WE'LL MISS THIS UNTIL THEN.
OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE BACK ON THE RECORD.
IT IS CURRENTLY 1051. OKAY. 1151 SORRY. TIME TRAVELING.
SHE WAS THERE. WELL, WE'LL HAVE THIS CONVERSATION BACK AT BREAK.
SO WELCOME. THANK YOU. AND MR. PIZARRO IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE RULES OF THE ROAD.
SO GOOD MORNING. SO FOR THE ORAL PRESENTATION, JUST A REMINDER, IT'S A 30 MINUTE PRESENTATION.
15 MINUTES WAS GIVEN TO THE SUPPLIER TO PRESENT, THEN FOLLOWED UP BY 15 MINUTES OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, BUT I WILL. EXCUSE ME. I WILL KIND OF LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE AT YOUR FIVE MINUTES REMAINING REMARK FOR THE PRESENTATION PART.
AND I WOULD ALSO LET THE CITY KNOW WHEN THEY'RE AT THEIR FIVE MINUTE MARK FOR THE Q&A PART AS WELL.
SURE. AND WHEN WE HAVE, THERE'S FIVE OF US, SO WE ONLY HAVE 15 MINUTES AS WELL.
SO WE HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR EACH OF US TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS. SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS. YOUR RESPONSES BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE BUT COVER THE QUESTION. NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. PLEASE BEGIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS.
MY NAME IS JOHN SCHEER AND I'M THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF GULF BUILDING. WE'RE HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY.
WE BROUGHT OUR TEAM. WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY EFFICIENT, MAYBE NOT AS EFFICIENT AS THE CITY RIGHT NOW, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE VERY EFFICIENT WITH OUR TIME.
TOP LEFT, YOU'LL SEE IS A THE NEW YMCA CENTER IN FORT LAUDERDALE ON ON AT HOLIDAY PARK.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF STRATUS BEFORE, WE ARE A COMBINATION OF ROMANTIC.
AND I'M MERRILL ROMANTIC. I WAS ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS WITH THE FIRM AND SISCOVICK OUT OF MIAMI.
THE BROWARD OFFICE, WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE NOW, HAS BEEN IN PRACTICE FOR 36 YEARS.
WE'RE PROUD TO SAY THAT LAST YEAR STRATUS WON THE ABC ARCHITECT OF THE YEAR.
THAT MEANS THE CONTRACTORS LIKE US, WE GET ALONG.
WE KNOW HOW TO COLLABORATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH EVERYBODY UP HERE, OBVIOUSLY, BUT A LOT OF OUR FOLKS ARE HERE. A COUPLE OF THE KEY POINTS WE ARE YOU'LL SEE THAT WE ARE VERY INGRAINED IN LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT WITH OUR PROJECTS.
YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THAT. ALSO, ERIC NAGY, WHO'S DIRECTOR OF PRE-CON, CANNOT BE HERE TODAY, BUT HE'S ACTUALLY TAMARAC RESIDENT AND WAS ON PLANNING AND ZONING FOR 6 OR 7 YEARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THEY'RE BACK THERE WORKING ON SOME COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECTS RIGHT NOW, BUT WITH ME TODAY IS MY MEP ENGINEER, DON JORGE SAN JUAN FROM DELTA G, OUR STRUCTURAL ENGINEER SAAD EL HAJJ, AND OUR CIVIL ENGINEER AND LANDSCAPE TEAM OF MILLER LEGG.
WE WORK WITH THEM ON A CONSTANT BASIS. THIS IS NOT A NEW TEAM THAT WE PUT TOGETHER JUST FOR YOU.
SO WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU THE VIDEO AND I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT. VIBRANT WAS THE WORD RIGHT, THAT WE FOLLOWED. AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS BOTH A BRIGHT, CHEERFUL, ENGAGING SPACE FOR THE PUBLIC TO USE THAT YOU WOULD NOTICE IT FROM COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, THAT YOU'D COME INTO THE FACILITY AND FEEL IMMEDIATELY KIND OF A HUG.
RIGHT. AND THAT THE PLAYGROUNDS AND THE COURSES THAT RUN THROUGH IT ARE FUN AND ENGAGING.
[01:25:03]
WE HAVE PLAYGROUNDS THAT IS SNUCK BETWEEN BOTH AMENITIES OF TENNIS AND BASKETBALL FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.THANK YOU FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY PURPOSES AND ALSO MULTI-GENERATIONAL USE.
WE REALLY ARE EXCITED ABOUT ENGAGING THE WATERFRONT.
AND THAT THE BUILDING HAS LAKE VIEWS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN ENGAGE VERY EASILY WITH IT.
NEXT SLIDE. YOU REALLY ARE HEAVY HITTERS OF THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU WITH SAFETY AND VISIBILITY, THE BSO AND THE OFFICES DOWNSTAIRS, LOOK DIRECTLY OUT TO THAT PARK AND THROUGH TOWARDS THE CLASSROOM AND THE, AND THE CARDIO ROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WHICH ARE THE DAILY USES AND THE EVENT SPACES UPSTAIRS.
THE ARCHITECTURE IS BRIGHT AND VIBRANT. WE'VE ADDED OPPORTUNITIES VIA SOME BEAUTIFUL CANVASES ON THE BUILDING TO ADD PUBLIC ART TO THE FACILITIES, WHICH ONLY REINFORCES YOUR IDENTITY. AND REALLY, WE'RE TRYING TO GET RECREATION FOR ALL.
HEY GOOD MORNING ROB GILLETTE. SO THIS IS A PROVEN PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE HERE.
IT'S NOT JUST A NEW TEAM THAT'S BEEN PUT TOGETHER.
AND YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE UP HERE.
WE'VE GOT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. WE HAVE PARKS, WE HAVE RESIDENCES.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT FEATURES. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, WE'VE GOTTEN LOTS OF AWARDS.
MOST RECENTLY THE SOUTH FLORIDA AGC BUILD AWARD FOR OUR WORK DONE IN ROLLING OAKS, A GREAT PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH STRATUS IN MARYLAND, HER TEAM. AND THIS IS SOME OF OUR ADDITIONAL RECREATIONAL SPACE.
YOU SEE IT THROUGHOUT BROWARD COUNTY, THROUGHOUT THE AREA OF IMPROVEMENTS OF WORKING TOGETHER.
AND IT'S WE WANT TO BRING THIS TO THE TAMARAC AS WELL.
I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS. AND REALLY, WE WERE PROVIDED A DCP THAT GAVE US A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TO USE AS A RULE BOOK, BUT THERE'S MANY MORE CONVERSATIONS THAT NEED TO OCCUR. FIRST ONE IS REALLY WITH YOU ALL.
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTIVATIONS, WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE.
MEET WITH YOUR STAFF. UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE, WHAT THEY'RE HEARING ON THE STREET BY THE END USERS, AND THEN ULTIMATELY COME TO THE COMMUNITY AND REALLY EMBRACE THEM. THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE VERY END.
WE DO A PROCESS OF ITERATIVE DESIGN, AND INCLUSION IS REALLY OUR GOAL, TO THE POINT THAT DURING CONSTRUCTION, THE COMMUNITY AND YOURSELVES CAN BE ENGAGED AT WHATEVER LEVEL YOU PREFER.
BUT AT THE END, WE LIKE TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IS VERY MUCH A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.
NEXT, THE SITE PLAN JUST TO KIND OF HIT A FEW HIGH NOTES.
WE HAVE 44 PARKING SPACES, WHICH IS WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE SCALE OF THIS FACILITY.
WE HAVE COURTS THAT ACTUALLY FACE NORTH SOUTH SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE SUN IN THE EYES IN THE MORNING OR IN THE AFTERNOON, AND KIND OF INCONVENIENT, UNCOMFORTABLE PLAY.
WE MENTIONED THE PLAYGROUND IN THE MIDDLE THAT ALLOWS THE LITTLE ONES TO PLAY ON THE PLAYGROUND, BUT MAYBE DAD'S OVER PLAYING HOOPS ON THE COURT NEXT DOOR AND CAN HAVE THEM REALLY WITHIN EYESHOT OR GRANDMA'S PLAYING TENNIS AND MONITORING THE KIDS.
IT ALLOWS FOR CROSS-GENERATIONAL USE, A SERIES OF MEANDERING PATHS AROUND OUR STRUCTURE AND REST POINTS ALONG THAT VERY PASSIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND THEN COMING AROUND TO THE BUILDING WHERE THEY CAN TAKE SMALL LOOPS IF THEY WANT TO, OR LOTS OF LITTLE LOTS OF BIGGER LOOPS AROUND THE ENTIRE FACILITY AND THE DOCK AND THE BUILDING ITSELF. I'LL DIVE INTO THE BUILDING A LITTLE BIT MORE.
GEO. YOU CAN SEE HOW COLORFUL AND VIBRANT WE REALLY WANT TO ENGAGE IN A LOT OF FUN, ACTIVE PLAY, AND THEN HAVE THE PASSIVE SIDE OVER TO THE LEFT, THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PUBLIC ART.
AND IT CAN BE MURAL SCULPTURES, YOU NAME IT. THE WATERFRONT, YOU WALK ALONG THAT PASSIVE PATH IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO THE DOCK AND REALLY ENGAGE THAT WATER FRONTAGE. THE BUILDING HAS CONNECTIVITY ON ALL FOUR SIDES, SO IT KIND OF IS THE CENTRAL HUB OF THE EXPERIENCE.
THE ENTRANCE WILL BE DENOTED HERE. YOU ARE AT EASTSIDE PARK COMMUNITY CENTER.
WE'VE GOT THE DIGITAL SIGNAGE THAT YOU ALL REQUESTED, AND THE PARKING IS IMMEDIATELY CONVENIENT AND YOU'RE REALLY READY TO ROLL AND HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE PARK. WE DID A NIGHT SHOT. WE PIN THROUGH LEDS NOT.
THEY WON'T JUST BE COLOR VIBRANT DURING THE DAY ONLY.
WE CAN, VIA LED LIGHTS, REALLY ACCENTUATE THE COLOR POPS AND REALLY MAKE IT THIS ATTRACTIVE, ENERGETIC SPACE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. SO IMPORTANT FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS IS
[01:30:10]
THE STRONG LOCAL RELATIONSHIPS. WE'VE BEEN IN BROWARD COUNTY FOR OVER 30 YEARS WITH THIS TEAM, AND THROUGH THAT TIME, WE'VE DEVELOPED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL SUBCONTRACTORS.YOU SEE OVER 600 LOCAL SMALL MINORITY BUSINESSES WITHIN BROWARD COUNTY WITHIN A TEN MILE RADIUS OF THIS PROJECT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE REACHING OUT TO AND ENGAGING INTO THAT. SO WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN? HOW DOES THAT WORK? THIS IS OUR OUR PROOF OF WHAT WE DO.
WE DELIVER SMALL LOCAL MINORITY BUSINESSES IN THE PROJECTS THAT WE DO.
WE TAKE THAT ON AND WE GUARANTEE THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT.
AND THAT'S WHAT THIS PROJECT IS REALLY ABOUT.
THANK YOU ROB. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS VICTOR SERRANO.
I'M THE MANAGER WITH GOLF, AND I WANTED TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE MORE OF THE LOGISTICS OF THE PROJECT AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO TACKLE THIS, THIS PROJECT, UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE SHAKER VILLAGE TO THE NORTH AND THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES AND MAINTAINING A CORRECT APPROACH.
SO OUR MAIN ENTRY WILL BE COMING FROM COMMERCIAL INTO THE COMMONS, GOING INTO THE JOB SITE, MAINTAINING SAFE CONDITIONS NOT ONLY FOR WORKERS BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE NOT PLANNING TO USE ANY ACCESS ON THE NORTH OF COMMONS COMING FROM THAT SIDE INTO THE PROJECT, AS WELL AS DURING THE DEMO OF THE WORK OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS FOR THE BASKETBALL COURTS.
WE WILL HAVE TO WORK CLOSELY, HAND IN HAND WITH THE NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY MITIGATION OR NOISE CAN BE ADDRESSED, AS WELL AS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW FACILITY.
HERE'S A LITTLE SNIPPET OF THE SCHEDULE ON THE PROJECT.
WE HAVE THE FULL DETAIL SCHEDULE IN OUR PACKAGE, AND WE WANT YOU TO BRING YOUR EYES TO THE MAIN AND MOST IMPORTANT THING, WHICH IS OUR GOAL TO THANK YOU, WHICH IS TO START ON MAY OF 2027 AND MEET THE GOAL, BE ABLE TO WORK WITH OUR WITH OUR PARTNERS THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS TO START ON TIME, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, DELIVER IT ON TIME ON MAY 2028 PRIOR TO SUMMER START AND BE ABLE TO TAKE THE FOR THE CITY TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE FACILITY.
SO MY NAME IS MITCH. I'M GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR GULF BUILDING.
WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
AND ONE OF THE WAYS WE DO THAT IS OUR GOOD NEIGHBOR LETTER.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE GOTTEN GREAT FEEDBACK ON THIS IN THE PAST.
SORRY. COFFEE WITH A CONTRACTOR. THAT'S ANOTHER THING I'LL DO WHERE I'LL GO OUT AND ESSENTIALLY FIELD QUESTIONS, CONCERNS FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND IT'S JUST A GREAT WAY TO PREPARE FOR ANYTHING THAT DOES COME UP IN THE FUTURE.
BUT WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS ON THIS QR CODES, LANDING PAGES.
WE JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE BEST WAY TO REACH THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE.
DEFINITELY COULD SEE SOME GREAT COLLABORATION AND YEAH.
SO AFTER COFFEE WITH MITCH WE SHOULD HAVE A LOT OF ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS.
BUT WHAT SEPARATES OUR TEAM? WE'VE BEEN HERE BORN AND RAISED IN BROWARD.
I'VE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THESE STREETS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
FORT LAUDERDALE THE COMPANY IS BASED OUT OF BROWARD.
BUDGET CERTAINTY. WE'RE NOT TOO HIGH. WE'RE NOT THE LOW BECAUSE SOME OF THE LOWS ARE REALLY, REALLY LOW, SCARY, LOW. WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
WE ARE COMPETITIVE WITH OUR PRICING, WITH WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING YOU. IT'S A GREAT PROJECT WITH A GREAT VALUE PROVEN CAPACITY TO DELIVER ON SCHEDULE, WHICH IS PROBABLY AS IMPORTANT AS ANYTHING TO GET THIS PROJECT OVER TO THE COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY FOCUSED.
WE HAD AN EVENT, CHANNEL SEVEN COVERED IT. THIS WAS A LITTLE BUILDERS WITH GOLF.
WE PROVIDED THEM HARD HATS AND VESTS ON ALL OF THE THINGS.
YOU CAN SEE THE FIRE TRUCKS IN THE BACKGROUND.
WE HAVE SAND PITS, WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT.
WE ACTUALLY HAD 600 KIDS. AND YOU CAN SEE THE BEAM IN THE MIDDLE THERE ON THE RIGHT.
THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PUT INTO THE BUILDING AND SOME TYPE OF PUBLIC ART DISPLAY.
BUT BUT IT WAS ABLE, WE WERE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE, THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANIES AND TALK TO THE COMMUNITY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? WHAT CAN WE DO TO CHANGE THINGS AND MAKE IT QUICKER?
[01:35:02]
AND LASTLY, WE TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SMALL BUSINESS.I WAS A SMALL BUSINESS WHEN I STARTED THIS, THIS COMPANY, WHEN I WHEN I BOUGHT THE COMPANY, I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO LAW SCHOOL AT NIGHT AT NOVA SOUTHEASTERN AND CAME OVER TO START THE COMPANY IN 2008.
AND THE FIRST THING I DID WAS I BECAME A CBD VENDOR AND WE GRADUATED OUT OF THAT IN TWO YEARS.
WE NOW HAVE 100 EMPLOYEES. AND THAT WAS 20 SOMETHING YEARS AGO.
AND SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT WE SAY, IT'S SOME PEOPLE THAT GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND TO MAKE MY COMPANY WHAT WE ARE TODAY. SO WITH THAT, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER.
RIGHT. COMMISSIONER PATTERSON. WELL, THEN I'LL ASK THE TYPICAL QUESTIONS.
OKAY, SO YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT THE HIGHEST, NOT THE LOWEST, BUT YOU KIND OF GIVE US A NUMBER.
SO WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATE? 11.9 IS OUR NUMBER.
THAT'S FOR FULL DESIGN AND EVERYTHING. OKAY. NOW CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
I DIDN'T SEE AN INSIDE PLANT. CORRECT. THERE'S, THERE'S FULL PLANS ATTACHED IN THE THE DOCUMENTS.
BUT BUT IS THERE ONE. OKAY, WE HAVE ONE. SO THAT'S THE FIRST FLOOR.
WE HAVE BSO AND THE PARK OFFICES KIND OF FLANKING THE MAIN ENTRANCE.
SO IT'S ALWAYS MONITORED ALWAYS SOMEBODY COVERAGE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.
WE CAN LOCK THE DOORS AT OFF HOURS AND NOT HAVE PEOPLE ENTER THE BUILDING.
AND THEN WE'VE GOT A NICE CLEAN CORRIDOR THAT CONNECTS YOU EAST TO WEST.
AGAIN, VISIBILITY EVERY WHICH WAY YOU GO, AEROBICS AND THE CLASSROOM DOWNSTAIRS.
THOSE ARE YOUR DAILY THINGS. THE SENIORS IN THE MORNING PROBABLY DOING SOME MAHJONG AND YOU NAME IT.
RIGHT? AND THEN THE CARDIO STUFF THAT WOULD OCCUR ON THE LAKE.
EVERYBODY WATCHES THE LAKE AND ENJOYS THAT BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
TRANSPARENCY THROUGH THE GLASS DOORS AND LOTS OF SAFE, INVISIBLE SPACES.
AND THEN THE NEXT ONE UPSTAIRS IS OUR MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A DIVIDING WALL, SO IT CAN BE TWO SMALLER EVENTS OR ONE LARGER EVENT.
AGAIN, ENGAGING THE LAKE, REALLY ENJOYING THE FRONTAGE.
AND THEN I MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD A ROOFTOP TERRACE.
THAT COULD BE YOUR PRE-FUNCTION POST FUNCTION AND EVENT SPACE DURING, YOU KNOW, THE DAYS THAT AREN'T CRAZY HOT LIKE JUNE AND JULY, BUT HAVE ANOTHER BENEFIT SPACE FOR YOU ALL. SO THE THIRD FLOOR WOULD THEORETICALLY IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE THE ROOFTOP.
WE'RE ACTUALLY A TWO STOREY SOLUTION, BUT THE ROOFTOP WOULD BE WHERE THE ROOFTOP OF THE FIRST FLOOR ABOVE THE FIRST FLOOR, NOT THE SECOND, WOULD BE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. SO IS A BUILDING WOULD BE FORTIFIED FOR A THIRD FLOOR.
IT SHOULD BE NEEDED OR NO, WASN'T PART OF THE DESIGN CRITERIA.
BUT WE CAN FURTHER THAT CONVERSATION AND LOOK AT THAT OPPORTUNITY.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU FIT ON THE SECOND FLOOR FOR THESE FUNCTION ROOMS? HONESTLY, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE WOULD ALLOW FOR ABOUT 150 PEOPLE, 150 PEOPLE ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
OKAY. AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR, HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU SUSPECT WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE THE ROOM? AND BOTH KIND OF DEPEND ON HOW YOU ARRANGE THEM.
SO I'M GOING TO CLARIFY THAT A LITTLE BIT. UPSTAIRS, USUALLY IF YOU'RE HAVING AN EVENT, IT'S MOSTLY A BANQUET, RIGHT. SO IT'S SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY OR A GALA FOR THE THE COUNCIL.
DOWNSTAIRS THE CLASSROOM WOULD PROBABLY HOLD ABOUT.
YEAH. THAT'S THE SECOND FLOOR. SECOND FLOOR. YEAH.
SO YOU WERE SAYING WHAT WAS THE FIRST ONE? NO, NO, I WE WE'VE WE'VE GONE DOWNSTAIRS.
WE JUST HAVEN'T CHANGED THE PHOTO YET. YEAH. AND DOWNSTAIRS PROBABLY SITS A TYPICAL CLASSROOM.
IT'S BEEN ABOUT 2530 PEOPLE IN CHAIRS AND TABLES.
AND YOU HAVE YOUR BSO SUBSTATION THERE YOU SAID. I DIDN'T SEE A DESIGNATED AREA FOR DOGS.
SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT I KNOW THAT I WANT TO SEE A SEPARATE AREA OR AN AREA TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN HAVE THE FURRY PETS BEING TAKEN, YOU KNOW, KIDS BEING TAKEN CARE OF TOO. AND THAT'S A PRIME EXAMPLE WHY WE'D LOVE TO MEET WITH EACH OF YOU JUST TO UNDERSTAND KIND OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL GOALS, SO THAT WE MAKE SURE WE LAYER THAT INTO THE CONVERSATION.
OKAY. AND YOU DID THE, THE MINIMUM PARKING OF 40 FOR THAT.
THAT'S WHAT'S REQUIRED. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. I BELIEVE YOU HAD A HANDOUT FOR US.
THANK YOU. HAVE A GOOD DAY. WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.
[01:40:46]
TECHNICALLY, WE ARE NOW SUPPOSED TO GO TO BREAK, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF PAUL IS FINDING OUT IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO IS HERE FOR THE NEXT PROJECT. SO IF YOU'LL JUST BEAR WITH US A FEW MINUTES, THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE A TEAM MEETING, RIGHT. AND THAT, BUT THAT ONE. OH, WELL, THEN IF THEY COULD BE HERE EARLY ON TEAMS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.IF NOT, WE'RE ON BREAK TILL 1245. SO.
SO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A TV TIME OUT FOR FIVE MINUTES UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, AND THEN WE'LL BE BACK. SO IT'S CURRENTLY 12, TEN 1211.
AS PROMISED, WE'D BE BACK AT 1215 TO LET YOU KNOW IF WE'LL BE GOING ON WITH OUR NEXT PRESENTER.
WE ARE JUST GETTING SET UP AND WE WILL BE BACK ON IN FIVE MINUTES.
IT IS CURRENTLY 1220 AND WE ARE HERE WITH PROMETHEAN BUILDER AND MR. BRASSARD WILL GIVE YOU THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
GOOD AFTERNOON. SO FOR THE ORAL PRESENTATION, JUST A REMINDER IT'S A 15 MINUTE PRESENTATION THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE FOLLOWED BY 15 MINUTES OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES REMAINING.
AND JUST JUMPING ON IN ON THAT. WE ASK THAT WHEN WE ASK YOU QUESTIONS, YOU CAN BE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES EACH TO ASK THE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. PLEASE PROCEED. ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL START AGAIN. GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. AND I GUESS I GUESS THAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO PUT THIS IN TERMS OF HOW IMPORTANT I SEE THESE PROJECTS IN COMMUNITIES AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU HAVE ON THIS SITE.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS START WITH A PROGRAM AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL TO DISCUSS THE ENTIRE PROJECT. AND IF YOU FLIP OVER TO THIS PAGE HERE, YOU'LL SEE THE PROGRAM AND THEN THE BUDGET FOR THE SITE WORK. SO JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT.
THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS ROUGHLY 50% OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.
PARKS AND REC IS 9%. THE BSO SUBSTATION IS 9%.
THE BUILDING SERVICE AREAS ARE AROUND 17%. AND INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR WALLS AROUND 16%.
IT GIVES US AROUND A LITTLE OVER 9000FT² OF USABLE SPACE AND A GROSS SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 10,088 90. WHEN I STARTED TO DO THE CONCEPT FOR THIS, I WAS REALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT IN THE PARK FEATURES. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
IF YOU LOOK AT MY SITE WORK NUMBER. SO MY FIRST EXERCISE IN THE ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT WAS TO DO THIS REALLY DETAILED ESTIMATE FOR ALL OF THE SITE WORK, AND I'VE GOT IT BROKEN DOWN INTO TWO DIFFERENT PIECES.
[01:45:03]
YOUR DESIGN CRITERIA, YOUR PACKAGE, THE IT PACKAGE.SO THE PARK FEATURES IN THAT 22 OF THEM NOTED IN HERE, THE TOTAL WAS 12.
1.235 THE SITE WORK THAT KIND OF TYPICAL SITE WORK THAT YOU SEE FOR ANY PROJECT IS 1.29.
SO THE TOTAL ALL THE SITE WORK SOMEWHERE AROUND 2.5.
ADD IN THE FEES. AND I CAME UP WITH A NUMBER OF ABOUT 3.27.
THAT WOULD BE ALL OF THE EFFORT THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO DO THE PARK FEATURES AND THE SITE WORK.
LEAVE ME THE BALANCE FOR THE BUILDING, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, AND THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO THE BUILDING THAT I WANTED TO DO.
IT'S REINFORCED MASONRY, PRECAST CONCRETE. THE, I THINK THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE A BUILDING LIKE THIS IS IT'S A CLASSIC REINFORCED MASONRY, SOUTH FLORIDA TYPE OF BUILDING.
IT'S VERY LOW MAINTENANCE STUCCO FINISH ON THE TIN ROOF.
BUT THIS BUILDING TYPE IS TRIED AND TRUE HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA.
AND IT'S AND I KNOW WHAT THE, THE COSTS ARE FOR THIS BUILDING TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN TAKE IT TO THIS NEXT OUTLINE. AND THIS OVERALL OUTLINE IS GOING TO SHOW YOU THE TOTAL COST OF THE BUILDING BY DIVISION. AND AT THE BOTTOM YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ALL OF THE FEES FOR THE ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION THAT ARE A PART OF A VERY HIGH LEVEL THAT PROMETHEAN BUILDERS WOULD BE PAID $2.7 MILLION TO DO THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, AND WE'RE MANAGING A $7 MILLION FOR THE BUILDING AND THE SITE.
I WANT TO GO BACK NOW. THIS MORNING, I RAN DOWN TO BOYNTON BEACH TO GO LOOK AT THE BOYNTON BEACH MANGROVE PARK THAT I DID BACK IN 1998, AND I WANTED TO LOOK OR SEND YOU GUYS DOWN TO LOOK AT THE DOCK.
THAT IS A PART OF THAT PROJECT IN BOYNTON BEACH.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT PROJECT'S CLOSED OR IT'S SHUTTERED.
AND IT'S VERY SAD TO SEE A PROJECT FAIL WHERE I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED IS YOU JUST CAN'T CREATE A PARK THAT'S UNSUPERVISED AND HAVE UNATTENDED BATHROOMS AND JUST OPEN WITHOUT ANY SUPERVISION IN IT. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOUR PROGRAM A LOT IS HAVING THE SHERIFF SUBSTATION HERE.
AND I ALSO AM THE PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI MILLER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.
AND I HELPED THE UNIVERSITY MANAGE $2.4 MILLION, $2.4 BILLION CAPITAL BUDGET.
WE'VE GOT 5,000,000FT² OF CLINICAL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC SPACE.
AND I KNOW FROM YOUR SIDE WAS USUALLY WHAT I DO MOST OF THE TIME, AS I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE FOR THE UNIVERSITY VOTING SOLICITATIONS TOGETHER AND GOING OUT TO EXTERNAL PEOPLE, WHERE I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE NOW AND TRYING TO READ THE TEA LEAVES AND DEAL WITH THE CONE OF SILENCE AND PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
BUT WHAT I DO ALL THE TIME IS PUT TOGETHER THESE PROJECTS CONCEPTUALLY, THESE BUDGETS AND SCHEDULES, AND I HAVE TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON HAVING THE RIGHT KIND OF PROGRAM WITH HAVING THAT LEVEL OF PRESENCE OF SECURITY ON THE SITE.
WE COULDN'T OPERATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI WITHOUT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP.
THERE ARE INCREDIBLE. I'M ON CAMPUS 3 OR 4:00 IN THE MORNING, RUNNING AROUND MY LITTLE SCOOTER BEFORE PEOPLE GET INTO WORK TO LOOK AT THE PLACES THE PHYSICIANS AND DOCTORS ARE IN. AND I CAN'T SAY THAT I FEEL SAFER ON THAT SITE BECAUSE OF THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY.
EVERYBODY'S WEARING BADGES. SO I'M REALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE TECHNOLOGY LIFT THAT'S A A PART OF THIS PROJECT OR COULD BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT WITH BADGES AND BADGE READERS, AND YOU KIND OF CAN TELL JUST FROM WALKING AROUND THE SITE WHO BELONGS, YOU KNOW, WHO'S ON AT THE UNIVERSITY AND OTHERS THAT ARE VISITORS, BUT THAT ACCESS CONTROL.
AND IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THAT OUTLINE AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE MY BASE BUDGET WAS
[01:50:05]
AROUND $480 A SQUARE FOOT FOR THE BASIC BUILDING AND THE BULLET RESISTANCE WAS RAISING IT ABOUT ANOTHER $18 A SQUARE FOOT. AND THIS, IT LIFT IS AROUND $23 A SQUARE FOOT.AND IT'S BROUGHT ME TO RIGHT AROUND 520. I KNOW THIS REALLY LOOKS FISHY WITH THE TOTAL COMING RIGHT UP TO WHAT THE BUDGET IS, BUT I WANTED YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND HOW I ARRIVED AT THAT FROM THE GROUND UP TO GET THERE.
AND IT WASN'T ME WORKING FROM THE TOP DOWN. I'LL RUN THROUGH THE PROGRAM OR CONCEPT FOR THE BUILDING AND. DO THIS QUICKLY. SO THE SITE, MY MAIN OBJECTIVE AND WHAT I WANTED TO DO WITH THE SITE, AND I'M GLAD THE CITY ATTORNEY'S HERE BECAUSE I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING YOU TO HELP ME VACATE THE EASEMENT. I'M THE ONE WHO ASKED ABOUT THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
THERE'S A DRAINAGE EASEMENT HERE THAT WE CAN GET RID OF, I HOPE, AND.
GET GET RID OF THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT. WELL, PART OF MY CONCEPT IS STYMIED A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I WAS TOO BASHFUL TO MOVE THE BUILDING FURTHER SOUTH, WHICH I NEED TO DO IF I CAN SEE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S HERE, I OWE THEM A T TURNAROUND AT THE END OF THIS PARKING AREA, AND I NEED TO REDO. WHAT I'VE GOT WITH THE DUMPSTER.
BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS PULL THE BUILDING FURTHER TO THE SOUTH.
I WAS OUT ON THE JOB SITE THIS MORNING, AND THERE'S A FENCE, AND IT'S A LITTLE STEEP THERE, SO THAT AREA WOULD NEED TO BE REGRADED. I'D LIKE IT TO BE MOBILE OR WALKABLE.
AND MY CONCEPT IS AROUND THIS PASSIVE AREA. IF YOU LOOK AT THE GROUND FLOOR PLAN UP TOP, I'VE SEPARATED THE BUILDING STRUCTURALLY. SO THE SECOND FLOOR SITS UP ON A STEEL FRAME AND THAT, LET ME BREAK THESE PIECES OF THE LOWER PART OF THE BUILDING.
AND I'VE MADE AN OUTDOOR COURTYARD THAT'S A PART OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE.
IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE WEST PALM BEACH CITY HALL THAT HAS A REALLY GREAT ENTRANCE THAT SEPARATED US ON THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A LITTLE MORE INTIMATE, BUT IT'S STILL AN EXTERIOR.
AN EXTERIOR, US COMMON LOBBY AREA, FURNITURE.
BUT THIS WHOLE CONCEPT ON THE PASSIVE PART OF THIS PARK IS ABOUT CREATING THIS ENORMOUS PATIO THAT RUNS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE BUILDING AND VISUALIZE 50 ROCKING CHAIRS ON THIS PATIO FANS TABLES FOR CHESS AND CHECKERS AND CARDS, AND MAYBE SOME MORE PICNIC BENCHES.
I'VE GOT A DOOR TO PARKS AND REC IN THE THEY'RE OPEN CUBICLE AREA.
I COULD PUT A DOOR IN FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, BUT I DIDN'T.
THERE'S SOME THINGS ABOUT THE PROGRAM THAT CAN BE FURTHER DEVELOPED, BUT THE MAIN CONCEPT OF THE BUILDING HAS TO DO WITH PUSHING THESE OTHER MASSES OUT TO CREATE THIS PORCH OBSERVATION AREA, THE COMPLETE LENGTH OF THE BUILDING. AND THEN THE SECOND FLOOR SITS OUT OVER THE TOP OF THIS.
SO YOU'RE IN THE SHADE AND YOU'RE OUT OF THE RAIN.
SO YOU'VE GOT THE NORTH SIDE VERY ACTIVE, WHICH I THINK IS SUPER IMPORTANT.
THE FITNESS TRACK I'VE GOT THERE, THE FITNESS TRAIL IS SIX LAPS IS A MILE.
AND THEN IF YOU GO BACK TO LOOKING AT THESE SPACES THAT ARE UPSTAIRS, JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE.
I'VE GOT THERE 22FT. SO THIS IS NINE, THERE'D BE TEN FOOT CEILINGS.
[01:55:07]
THIS SPACE IS 24. I'VE GOT 22. AND THEN THE OVERALL LENGTH OF THE BUILDING.IS 39. THE BIG ROOM UP TOP IS 50. SO YOUR FLEX ROOM THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE WARMING KITCHEN IS 2223 BY 50, AND THE DIVIDING ACCORDION PARTITION TO THE SECOND FLEX ROOM IS THAT SAME 22 BY 25. I DECIDED TO PUT THE AEROBICS ROOM UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND THAT GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO USE. THAT AEROBICS ROOM ALSO IS ANOTHER FLEX SPACE ON THE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
IT'S ALSO 50 SOME ODD FEET LONG AND 22, 23, 23FT WIDE.
SO AM I OUT OF TIME? YES. SO I'VE GOT, I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS THAT I'VE HANDED TO YOU, THE SPEC FOR THE BUILDING IS IN THIS BOOK, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO READ AND GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE WALL ASSEMBLIES AND THE ROOF AND FLOOR ASSEMBLIES.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE BUYING. WHAT AM I GETTING FOR $7 MILLION? THIS IS THIS IS A ROUGH HIGH LEVEL SPEC HERE.
THAT GIVES YOU THE BUDGETS FOR EACH DIVISION TO LOOK AT WHAT'S WHAT THE WHAT THAT SCOPE IS.
SO THE BULLET RESISTANCE, I'VE WORKED ON SEVERAL CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS FOR THE ARMY AND THOSE THERE'S A LOT TO THE BALLISTICS AND BULLET RESISTANCE AND MORE THAN JUST THE GLASS AND THE DOORS WITH THE STRUCTURAL WORK THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE REST OF THAT.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF EXPENSE IN US TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK A LOT OF IT HAS TO BE DIALED IN. SO THERE IS A DESIGN PERIOD.
SO THEY'VE GOT NINE MONTHS. THERE ARE FOR DESIGN REVIEW PERIODS OVER TWO WEEKS.
AND THEY'RE HOW MUCH OF THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT I THINK IS REALLY UP TO THE CITY ON WHAT HOW YOU WANT TO DO THOSE REVIEWS IN THE SCHEDULE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. VICE MAYOR. COMMISSIONER DANIEL COMMISSIONER PATTERSON, THANK YOU. I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB. I APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION.
I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE? I'M I'LL BE 60 YEARS OLD ON WEDNESDAY. I'VE BEEN LICENSED.
I'VE BEEN LICENSED IN SOUTH FLORIDA FOR 30 YEARS.
I'VE GOT A REALLY WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIENCE IN TERMS OF ALL KINDS OF BUILDING TYPES OF.
ONLY THING I'VE NOT STAMPED IS A HOT ROD. I'VE DONE FEDERAL WORK.
I'VE DONE LOCAL GOVERNMENT WORK. RIGHT NOW I'M WORKING FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
THE LOTS OF PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. THE RESTAURANT WORK IS ALL AROUND PAUL FLANAGAN AND THE FLANAGAN'S GROUP AND THE QUARTERDECK RESTAURANTS. AND I DID THE TWO GEORGES IN BOYNTON BEACH.
SO I'VE GOT A REALLY BROAD EXPERIENCE ARCHITECTURALLY, WHAT MAKES ME UNUSUAL OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS, I'VE SPENT MORE TIME IN CONTRACTING OFFICES THAN I HAVE IN ARCHITECTURE OFFICES.
I AM AN ARCHITECT, AND THAT'S HOW I STARTED OFF.
AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ANDREW MCKINNON, WHO'S MY PARTNER IN THIS IN PROMETHEAN.
ANDREW'S THE SAME KIND OF CHARACTER WHERE HE'S AN ATTORNEY.
HE'S GOT HIS CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, BUT HE ALSO IS WILLING TO GET OUT OF HIS LANE AND GET INTO.
THE LAST THING I WORKED WITH ANDREW ON WAS THE NEW APPLE STORE AT MIAMI WORLD CENTER.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, IT'S WORTH GOING TO SEE. ANDREW SOLVED A PROBLEM FOR THE BUILDING.
AND THERE'S THIS NEW PRODUCT CALLED BRANCH, AND IT'S A 3D PRINTED THING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO ALL THESE CURVED SURFACES AND STUFF. THAT WAS A PART OF THIS BUILDING THAT GENSLER HAD DESIGNED, WHERE IT WAS ALL LOOKED LIKE MORE LIKE A COFFEE TABLE,
[02:00:05]
LIKE YOUR PHONE. IT'S LIKE A MORE LIKE AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PROBLEM THAN IT ACTUALLY LIKE A, LIKE A BUILDING. BUT ANDREW FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE ALL THE CURVES ON THE BUILDING AND MEET WINDOWS AND ALL THAT STUFF.HE'S NOT THE ARCHITECT. HE DID THIS FOR GENSLER.
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HIM. AND. AND OUR WORKING RELATIONSHIP.
I'M THE ONE THAT'S CROSSING OVER THE OTHER DIRECTION AND WANTING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THINGS COST, HOW THINGS GO TOGETHER, THE SCHEDULES. I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE SUBS.
SO WHEN THIS WORK STARTS, YOU'RE NOT IN A VACUUM.
I FEEL LIKE THAT WHAT WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT IS NEGOTIATING FEES.
SO THAT'S THE WAY, THE BEST WAY I SEE IT IN THE DESIGN BUILD EFFORT.
AND KNOWING THAT YOU REALLY NEED PROGRAMING. WE NEED TO TAKE THIS FURTHER WITH EACH ONE OF THE STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP THE SPACES AND MAKE SURE IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT, AND THEN PRIORITIZE THINGS IN TERMS OF THE COST.
SO ALL THE BLOCK CELLS ARE FILLED WITH SAND. YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO. WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO DO THAT.
WE DO WANT TO DO THIS THOUGH. BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT DIFFERENTIATES ME FROM ANOTHER ARCHITECT IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I'VE HAD IN THE FIELD AND THE AMOUNT WHAT I'VE DONE ON THE CONTRACTING SIDE, WHERE I'M THINKING DIFFERENTLY.
I'M NOT THINKING IN A CONVENTIONAL ARCHITECTURAL WAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS OBVIOUS YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
IT JUST SHOWS. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND BRINGING THAT TO US.
I'M NOT SURE IF BECAUSE SOME OF THIS IS STILL CONCEPTUAL AND IN DESIGN, BUT HOW MANY PARKING SPACES ARE YOU ALLOCATED? SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND ONE OF MY OBJECTIVES HERE IN STUDYING THE SITE, AND I'M GLAD THAT I KNOW I'M GOING TO GET THIS EASEMENT VACATED.
AND I'M HOPING THERE'S NOTHING IN IT. LIKE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT.
BUT WE GET THAT VACATED. I CAN MOVE THE BUILDING DOWN.
I THINK I CAN TURN THAT. I'VE GOT OVER 50 SPACES NOW, OVER 50 SPACES.
I DON'T WE'RE GOING TO I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE PROMISE.
I THINK THAT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY TO LOOK AT THIS.
I LIKE THE CROSSWALKS THAT I'VE GOT THAT SLOWS TRAFFIC.
I'D LIKE TO DO SOME HEAVY DUTY AND I NEED A HEAVY DUTY STRIP FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE T TURNAROUND, BUT I THINK I CAN DO SOME PERVIOUS PAVING. I THINK IN TERMS OF THE PROGRAM AND THE PARKING REGULATIONS, I'M A LITTLE NORTH OF WHAT THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE.
AND YOU'RE WORKING WITH AROUND 40, I THINK IS I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE BALANCING WHAT YOU CAN DO ON THE SITE WITH THE AMENITIES AND THE ACCESSIBILITY. HOPEFULLY A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE USING OTHER TRANSPORTATION.
I'VE GOT A A NEIGHBOR AND SHE GETS ON THIS BUS EVERY MORNING AND GOES SOMEPLACE.
SO HOW PEOPLE COME TO THE SITE, I THINK, IS HOPEFULLY WE'VE GOT OPTIONS ON.
NOT EVERYBODY'S COMING. NOT EVERYBODY'S COMING IS DRIVING.
UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THAT. SO YOU GAVE US THE DETAIL ABOUT THE ROOM, THE EVENT SPACE, SO TO SPEAK, AND THE FLEX SPACE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN PEOPLE? SO WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IF I'M GOING TO HOLD AN EVENT THERE.
GENERALLY YOU'RE IF WE'RE GOING TO USE THE NFPA'S NUMBERS, IT'S 151 PER 15FT².
SO IF YOU DO THE MATH ON THE OCCUPANCY. LET'S SEE.
THIS IS A MATH PERSON NEXT TO ME. IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
I CAN FIGURE OCCUPANCY. AS FAR AS THE CALCULATION IS CONCERNED, IT'S 1 TO 15.
THE AEROBICS IS A LITTLE HIGHER, MAYBE 1 TO 20.
I DID THE MATH ON IT JUST OVER THE WEEKEND RECENTLY, AND I THINK IT WAS I CAN DO.
[02:05:04]
I'LL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. YEAH. I JUST DEFINITELY DIDN'T DO THAT.SLOANE SQUARE FEET. OKAY. IT'S OKAY. WE CAN. WE CAN ALWAYS JUST EMAIL THAT TO US AND GET.
THAT'S 180, 180 PEOPLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. THAT'S IF YOU USE THE AEROBICS SPACES.
ANOTHER FLEX SPACE. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, RIGHT? WHERE YOU'VE GOT IF WE HAVE TABLES, IT'LL BE LESS. WELL, THAT'S PART OF THE USING THE 15 ONE PERSON PER 15FT².
IT IS TABLES AND CHAIRS. OH, OKAY. SO THE AEROBICS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT'S USUALLY A LITTLE HIGHER, SAY 20 BECAUSE YOU NEED A LITTLE MORE SPACE.
THE SPACE IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR AND THE MIRROR ON THE WALL.
BUT SOMEBODY MAY NOT CARE IF THEY'RE WANTING, FOR WHATEVER REASON, TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FLOOR UP TOP.
THAT WAS PART OF MY GOAL, TO GET THESE MEETING SPACES, THE TEN FOOT CEILINGS AND ANOTHER 20FT THAT'S THE SIZE OF THEM. AND THIS SECOND STORY VIEW OF THE LAGOON, THROUGH THE LANDSCAPING, THROUGH THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF IT. I APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
THIS IS JUST HOW WE ARE. SORRY. NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
THIS WHOLE THIS WHOLE. I THINK IT'S IN ALL THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S PENCILS DOWN. IT'S JUST WHAT IT IS.
IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN. I ENJOY THIS KIND OF THING.
I MEAN, IT'S I LIKE THESE PRODUCTS. GOOD, GOOD.
WELL, WHEREVER YOU'RE HEADED, BE SAFE. SO FOR WHEREVER YOU'RE HEADED TO NOW BE SAFE.
ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE NOW EXPECTING BURKE CONSTRUCTION TO COME IN.
SO IS HE COMING IN NOW OR DO WE NEED A MINUTE? WELL, I WAS GOING TO TAKE US OFFLINE. IT IS CURRENTLY 1247.
WE'LL RESUME IN. HOW MANY DO WE NEED A BREAK? BREAK OR.
ARE THEY HERE? OKAY. SO WHEN DO YOU WANT US TO RESUME.
SO IT'S 1040. 1247 RIGHT NOW. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO GO ON AT 120 SO COMING BACK AT 120.
OR DO YOU THINK THEY'LL ALL BE HERE AT 115 TO SEE HOW LONG THEY ANTICIPATE? THERE ARE TWO PERSONNEL. SOUNDS GOOD. THEY'RE GOING TO BE HERE IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
THAT'S FINE. YOU'RE WILLING TO START THE PRESENTATION WITH THE PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE HERE.
THEY CAN'T. THEY CAN'T. THAT'S FINE. SO IF YOU WOULD WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A THREE MINUTE BREAK.
WE'LL COME BACK ONLINE IN THREE MINUTES WHICH WILL BE 1250.
SO THIS WAY WE'RE NOT RUNNING TAPE FOR NO REASON.
PLEASE GO FIND OUT AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT THEN. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
[02:10:07]
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. IT IS NOW 1250. WE WILL RESUME AT 120.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. GREETINGS.
THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK. IT IS 120. WE WELCOME YOU HERE.
AND WE HAVE BURKE CONSTRUCTION READY TO GO. MR. PAUL, GOOD AFTERNOON. AND JUST A REMINDER THAT FOR THE ORAL PRESENTATIONS, THIS IS A 30 MINUTE TOTAL.
15 MINUTES IS FOR YOU TO PROVIDE YOUR PRESENTATION, THEN 15 MINUTES FOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES REMAINING.
AND SINCE THERE'S FIVE OF US, WHICH WILL GIVE US THREE MINUTES EACH FOR A QUESTION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FLOOR IS YOURS. SOUNDS GOOD.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH US TODAY.
WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO MAKE ONE MODEL OF THE PARK THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR YOU, BUT THAT IS YOURS TO KEEP, AND I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO SHARE IT AFTERWARDS.
BUT I HAVE A FEELING MADAM MAYOR IS GOING TO TAKE IT HOME WITH HER.
MY NAME IS NICK MARTINEZ. I AM HEAD OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOR BURKE CONSTRUCTION GROUP.
I'M JOINED BY TWO OF OUR PRINCIPALS, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER DAVID MARTINEZ, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, TWO MEMBERS OF OUR PRECONSTRUCTION TEAM, BRIAN BURKE AND EMMANUEL MCDOWELL, AS WELL AS OUR MARKETING MANAGER, NATASHA MENENDEZ FROM OUR A AND E PARTNERS. WE HAVE CHARMAINE EMMANUELS FROM KENMORE CIVIL ENGINEERING, AND FROM WJ ARCHITECTS, WE HAVE JAMISON SWEAT DESIGN DIRECTOR AND ORSON BADGER, PROJECT MANAGER.
SO ACROSS THIS DESIGN BUILD TEAM THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU, WE HAVE WORKED ON OVER 300 PARKS AND REC PROJECTS ACROSS MORE THAN 60 MUNICIPALITIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THAT REPRESENTS 2500 ACRES EITHER DESIGNED, BUILT OR BOTH, TOTALING OVER $550 MILLION OF COMPLETED PROJECTS.
SO I'M GOING TO PASS IT TO JAMISON TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT DESIGN INTENT.
FIRST, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY HOW EXCITED I AM TO BE HERE.
I CAN'T TELL YOU THE PALPABLE ENERGY THAT WAS IN THE OFFICE WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS DESIGN PROCESS WITH OUR TEAM, YOU KNOW, THESE COMMUNITY PROJECTS, WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE COMMUNITY. THEY JUST GET EVERYONE EXCITED. THIS IS LIKE WHAT WE DO AT WANNAMAKER JOHNSON. SO I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT THERE AND LET EVERYONE KNOW MY EXCITEMENT FOR THIS PROJECT. SO IF I GO A LITTLE FAST, YOU KIND OF KNOW WHY. THE SO, SO AT OUR AT OUR OFFICE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS.
YOU KNOW, OUR PHILOSOPHY IS, IS DEFINED BY COLLABORATIVE PROCESS, RIGHT? THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT IS NO DIFFERENT. WE WANT TO USE THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING YOU ALL ALONG IN THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, AS DESIGNERS, AS A PART OF THE DESIGN TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DEVELOPING A SHARED VISION FOR THE PROJECT.
THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO EXCITE THE COMMUNITY, TO BUILD CONSENSUS FOR, FOR THE PROJECT, AND ULTIMATELY COME OUT WITH A SHARED VISION FOR WHAT THE TAMARAC COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE PARK CAN BE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE COMMUNITY NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE TO COME.
SO THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE PROJECT, IT WAS PRETTY SIMPLE.
AND WE WANTED TO BRING AS MUCH OPEN GREEN SPACE TO THE SOUTH.
THE, THE, THE BUILDING BECOMES THIS HUB, RIGHT? IT TOUCHES EVERY COMPONENT OF THE PARK. IT SUPPORTS EVERY COMPONENT OF THE PARK. AND THIS GOES BACK TO THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE BUILDING, WHAT IT MEANS FOR ALL OF THESE PROGRAMMATIC SPACES AND THE FLEXIBILITY THAT IT GIVES US AS WE START TO DIVE INTO THE DESIGN HERE.
RIGHT. AND THEN TYING THE ENTIRE PARK TOGETHER IS THIS MULTI-PURPOSE TRAIL.
ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES YOU KNOW, OF THE PARK IS THE WATER CONDITION, RIGHT? THIS IS A COUPLE EXAMPLE PROJECTS OF HOW WE START TO DEAL WITH THE WATER'S EDGE, HOW WE START TO BRING A MEANING OF PLACE AND A MEANING OF A PLACE OF REST.
YOU KNOW, A DESTINATION WITHIN THE PARK AND TREATING THE WATER'S EDGE IS NO DIFFERENT.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE BROUGHT THAT DESIGN INTO OUR OBSERVATION DECK AND OUR FISHING PIER.
WE DIDN'T WE WANTED THIS TO BE AN EXTENSION OF THE BUILDING. WE WANTED THIS TO BE AN EXTENSION OF THE PARK. WE WANTED IT TO BE PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND REALLY ENGAGE THE NATURAL ASPECTS OF THE SITE. THINKING ABOUT THE THINKING ABOUT PROGRAMING, THE OBSERVATION DECK.
WE WANTED THIS TO BE A PLACE OF REST, A PLACE OF EXERCISE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT FLEXIBILITY, A PLACE OF EDUCATION, A PLACE OF GATHERING. THIS CAN BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE USED NOT ONLY WITHIN THE PARK, BUT IT BECOMES A DESTINATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ITSELF. AGAIN, LOOKING AT FLEXIBILITY, THE BUILDING STARTS TO.
WE'RE STARTING TO LEVERAGE THE ARCHITECTURE HERE, RIGHT? WE WANT TO. WE WANT THE BUILDING TO BECOME A BACKDROP. WE WANT IT TO BECOME A STAGE. WE WANT IT TO SUPPORT THE EVENT LINE. IT BECOMES A PLACE HERE ON THE EAST SIDE THAT WE CAN EVEN START TO HIGHLIGHT ART IN PUBLIC PLACES.
[02:15:05]
WE CAN HOST DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVENTS. IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A PICNIC SHELTER FOR YOUR FAMILY ON A, ON A HOT WEEKEND, RIGHT? SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PROJECT WHERE WE STARTED TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT.CR KELLY IS UP IN GAINESVILLE. THE BUILDING BECOMES A BLANK CANVAS.
YOU KNOW, THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES IS FRONT, FRONT AND CENTER.
IT HOSTS, YOU KNOW, IT FOCUSES FOCUSES THE ATTENTION ON THE EVENT LAWN.
AND IT YOU CAN HOST A MULTITUDE OF EVENTS BY USING THE BUILDING IN MORE THAN ONE WAY.
SO AS WE START TO LOOK AT THE PLAYGROUND, THE PLAYGROUND DESIGN IS INTERESTING.
GETTING. GETTING THE PLAYGROUND ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING MEANS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE PARENTS AND CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, TRAVERSING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, ACROSS ASPHALT TO GET FROM ONE SIDE OF THE SITE OR THE NEXT.
THE OTHER THING THAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS WE START TO SEPARATE OUT SOME OF THE THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS. YOU KNOW, THE BASKETBALL COURT BECOMES A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS, DIFFERENT VOCABULARIES HAPPENING. SO GETTING A SEPARATION BETWEEN THOSE TWO ASPECTS, YOU KNOW, WAS IMPORTANT. THE THIRD IS STARTING TO UTILIZE THE BUILDING.
IF YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE BUILDING THERE, WE HAVE THE WE START TO HAVE THE CLASSROOM SPACE. THE CLASSROOM SPACE THERE SERVES AS AN EXTENSION OF THE PLAYGROUND. NOW WE CAN START TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE START TO USE THE BUILDING AS A AS A BIRTHDAY VENUE.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN HOST DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVENTS THERE.
YOU KNOW, PARENTS CAN JUST USE IT AS A PLACE FOR REST AND YOU GET THE ADDED LAYER OF SECURITY.
SO YOU HAVE EYES AND VISIBILITY OUT TO THE PLAYGROUND.
LASTLY, AND IN MY OPINION IS MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT FROM MY ASPECT, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH POTTY TRAINING WITH TWO TODDLERS AT THE SAME TIME, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE TWO BATHROOMS, LIKE RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLAYGROUND. YOU NEVER KNOW, YOU KNOW, AND I'M NOT AS FAST AS I USED TO BE. HOW QUICK YOU HAVE TO GRAB A COUPLE KIDS AND RUN THEM TO THE TOILET.
SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO, TO NOTE THAT. NOW TALKING ABOUT THE DESIGN OF THE PLAYGROUND, REALLY THERE'S A COUPLE CORE CONCEPTS, YOU KNOW, WE CAN WORK WITH YOU ON WHAT THE VISION OF THAT PLAYGROUND BECOMES. BUT THE CORE CONCEPT IS WE WANTED TO PROVIDE A BOUNDLESS, ACCESSIBLE SPACE THAT PROMOTES CREATIVITY.
AND IT, IT PROMOTES PROMOTES COLLABORATION, IT PROMOTES EXCITEMENT FOR THE CHILDREN.
SO, I MEAN, WE WORK THROUGH A COUPLE VERSIONS OF WHAT THAT BE, BUT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY WE THINK IT COULD BE A PLACE THAT CAN TIE BACK TO THE ENVIRONMENT, TIE BACK TO NATURE, MAYBE EVEN BE AN EXTENSION OF THAT EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT THAT WE THINK ABOUT FOR THE PARK. SO THIS IS SAINT PETE PIER.
THIS IS, YOU KNOW, A PROJECT THAT WE DID. WE START TO THINK ABOUT NOT ONLY PLACING PLAY EQUIPMENT ON THE GROUND, BUT PLAYING WITH THE GROUND, MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, YOU KNOW, REALLY JUST MORE ABOUT IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY BUILDING AT THAT POINT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT JUST RELYING ON ON EQUIPMENT, WE'RE RELYING ON HOLISTIC DESIGN.
SO AS WE GET INTO THE BUILDING, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THIS, THIS, THIS CONNECTIVE TISSUE, WHICH IS THE PLAZA THAT LEADS YOU UP TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER CONNECTS ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE PARK, CONNECTS THE DROP OFF THE.
THE PLAY FIELDS, THE PLAYGROUND, THE OBSERVATION DECK, THE, YOU KNOW, THE THE PLAY COURTS.
IT PROVIDES COVER AND SHADE INTO THE BUILDING, BUT IT STARTS TO ACCENTUATE THE BUILDING IN WAYS THAT THAT GIVE IT MORE OF A DESTINATION LIKE FEEL RATHER THAN JUST A SIMPLE BUILDING PLOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SITE.
SO THE PROGRAM FOR THE BUILDING THIS WAS, THIS WAS PRETTY SIMPLE.
WE WANTED TO FRAME VIEWS TOWARDS THE WATER. I MEAN, THE WATER SEEMS LIKE A REALLY AWESOME DESIGN FEATURE. THAT WOULD BE A SHAME TO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. SO WE WANTED TO FRAME VIEWS TOWARDS THE WATER. SO WE HAVE A VERY GENEROUS COMMON CORRIDOR THAT CONNECTS THE ENTRY TO THE WATER'S EDGE.
ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WE HAVE OUR ACTIVE SPACES.
YOU HAVE AEROBICS AND CLASSROOM. AND ON THE EAST SIDE WE HAVE THE THE ADMIN SPACES.
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE ADMIN HAS EYES OVER THE ENTIRE PARK. NOW YOU HAVE EYES TOWARDS THE ENTRY. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE EYES. YOU KNOW, IN THIS RENDERING YOU HAVE EYES TOWARDS THE ENTRY. YOU HAVE EYES ICE TOWARDS THE DROP OFF. YOU HAVE ICE TOWARDS THE PARK.
YOU KNOW, THE TRANSPARENCY, BUT ALSO THE TRANSPARENCY BRINGS IN THE NATURAL LIGHT.
IT BRINGS IN THE ENVIRONMENT. IT BRINGS IN THE EXCITEMENT AND ENERGY OF THE PARK INTO THE BUILDING.
THE FLEX SPACE HAS BECOME KIND OF THAT EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN THE CIRCULATION.
WE HAVE THE SUPPORT SPACES OF THE PRE-FUNCTION AND THE WARMING KITCHEN AND THE STORAGE, BUT THE LARGE FLEX SPACES, YOU KNOW, LOOK OUT OVER THE WATER. THEY BECOME THAT KIND OF EXCLAMATION POINT FOR THE BUILDING WHERE YOU ARRIVED. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE.
THE FLEX SPACES ARE IMPORTANT. IN TERMS OF TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EVENT SIZES AND FLEXIBILITY.
AS WE LOOK AT SOME OF OUR PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DONE, LIKE JULIAN B LANE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO THINK ABOUT THIS PROJECT, HOW WE CAN GIVE YOU GUYS MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR REVENUE.
YOU KNOW, MORE EVENTS. AND GELIN IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW WE START TO LEVERAGE THE ARCHITECTURE IN A WAY THAT GIVES YOU MORE, MORE THAN JUST AN INDOOR FLEX SPACE. BUT NOW WE'RE STARTING TO ACTUALLY BLEED OUT OUT TO THE OUTDOOR SPACE.
SO WE'RE STARTING TO USE THE OBSERVATION DECK.
WE'RE STARTING TO USE THE FLEX SPACES TOGETHER.
[02:20:01]
AND IN THIS RENDERING YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT STARTS TO WORK. SO WE HAVE THE OBSERVATION DECK. THAT SEEMS TO FOLD UP INTO THE BUILDING.SO NOW THERE'S NOT JUST A CONFINED SPACE, BUT WE CAN ACTUALLY EXPAND THE TYPES OF EVENTS THAT WERE HAPPENING, WHETHER IT'S WHETHER THEY'RE JUNETEENTH EVENTS OR BACK TO SCHOOL FAIRS OR FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE CAN START THINKING ABOUT HAVING WEDDINGS HERE WHERE YOU HAVE A WEDDING CEREMONY OUT ON THE OBSERVATION DECK, AND THEN YOU'RE DOING A RECEPTION INSIDE, AND THEN THE SCALE OF THE EVENTS CHANGED. NOW, RIGHT? WE HAVE THIS GREAT CONNECTION WITH THE BUILDING. WE HAVE THIS GREAT RELATIONSHIP NOW WITH THE EVENT LAWN, AND IT REALLY ALLOWS THIS BUILDING TO FLEX AND GROW WITH THE COMMUNITY, NOT ONLY NOW, BUT IN THE FUTURE.
SO LASTLY, LASTLY, I THINK THE LAST ITEM HERE IS THE LIGHTING DESIGN, RIGHT? THIS. THIS ACCENTUATES ALL THE ARCHITECTURE. IT ACCENTUATES ALL THE SITE DESIGN, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE ELEMENTS. IT REALLY TIES THE COMPOSITION TOGETHER AND IT BECOMES A BEACON FOR THE COMMUNITY NOW AND MOVING FORWARD.
SO I'M KIND OF I'M THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND OVER HERE.
I JUST LIVE NORTH A LITTLE WAYS UP IN THE WEST PALM BEACH AREA.
AND I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WE'RE DOING A PROJECT IN CORAL SPRINGS, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT IN WESTON, A REC CENTER THAT WE'RE WORKING ON OVER THERE.
AND SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES WE CAN HELP YOU OUT WITH IF THERE IS THE NEED TO GET SOME MORE MONEY THAN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT WITH WITH GRANT WRITING. AND WE HAVE AN IN-HOUSE PERSON THAT SPECIALIZES IN THAT SO THAT WE COULD HELP YOU REACH THAT GOAL.
IF THAT IS, IF THAT IS YOUR DESIRE AND YOU NEED TO DO THAT.
YEAH. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M JILL NACHAMKIN. I'M THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF BRK CONSTRUCTION GROUP.
AND YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE. I'M SURE THERE'S A LOT OF GUYS WHO ARE PRESENTING AND I'M SURE THEY'RE ALL QUALIFIED. SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS WHY BRK? WHAT SETS US APART FROM THE REST? SO A COUPLE OF THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, I THINK THAT WE'RE PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST CONTRACTORS OUT THERE AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO TAKE THIS CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND REALLY TELLING YOU HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST. BUT MORE THAN THAT, BRK CONSTRUCTION UNDERSTANDS THE CONCEPT OF A DESIGN BUILD.
AFTER WE FINALIZE ALL THE PRICING, WE FIRMLY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NO CHANGE ORDERS AFTER THAT.
WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN. WE'RE RESPONSIBLE TO BUILD IT.
OKAY. THERE ARE NO CHANGE ORDERS. I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
ALSO, OUR SUPERINTENDENT HAPPENS TO LIVE TWO MILES FROM THIS JOB.
HE'S ONE OF OUR BEST SUPERINTENDENTS. HE IS COMPLETELY STOKED ABOUT BEING ON THIS PROJECT.
HE'S REALLY EXCITED. HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, I BUILT SO MANY PROJECTS FOR OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. FINALLY, I GET TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING IN MY OWN BACKYARD. AND LASTLY, I REALLY THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY UNIQUE ABOUT BURKE CONSTRUCTION GROUP IS IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER HAD TO GO TO A LAW FIRM AND HIRE AN ATTORNEY.
SO YOU COME TO BURKE AND MARTINEZ AND YOU SIT DOWN WITH ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS OF THE LAW FIRM, AND THESE GUYS LOOK LIKE THE GREATEST GUYS OUT THERE. OKAY? AND THEN WHEN IT ACTUALLY COMES TO WHO'S HANDLING YOUR CASE, YOU KNOW, WHICH IS NOT NORMAL, THEY'RE GOING TO PASS IT DOWN TO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THEIR, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THEIR JUNIOR ATTORNEYS AND WHAT HAVE YOU. AND THEY THEMSELVES WILL NOT KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ON YOUR PROJECT OR IN THIS CASE, YOUR CASE.
AS FAR AS THE WAY WE'RE BUILT AND THE WAY WE'RE STRUCTURED, WE DON'T TAKE A LOT OF PROJECTS.
AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOU CAN CALL EITHER MYSELF OR TONY BURKE, WHO'S NOT HERE TODAY, OR DAVID MARTINEZ, ONE OF US WHO'S BEEN EARMARKED FOR THIS PROJECT, ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS OF THE FIRM, ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ENTRUSTED, OKAY, TO GIVE YOU GUYS THE PRODUCT THAT YOU WANT.
YOU CAN CALL US UP AT 12:00 AT NIGHT AND YOU CAN ASK, HEY, WHERE ARE WE ON THE SCHEDULE? AND WE'LL KNOW. AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK REALLY SETS US APART FROM THE REST.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. OH, YEAH. VICE MAYOR, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? CAN I SEE THE FRONT ELEVATION AGAIN? SO THE ANSWER IS YES. LET'S GO. THIS ONE.
I CAN TURN THEM ALL AROUND. WHAT TIME IS IT? STANDING SEAM.
METAL ROOF. OKAY, SO. METAL ROOF. OKAY. SO IT'S NOT CONCRETE? NO. AND IT'S TWO STORIES. YEAH. OKAY. CAN I SEE THE SIDE ELEVATIONS?
[02:25:05]
THAT'S THE WEST SIDE, RIGHT? THE PLAYGROUND. WEST SIDE.OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM. COMMISSIONER.
MR. PATTERSON? NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
WELL, I JUST I DON'T THINK I SAW ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FACILITY ITSELF IS.
CAN I SEE THE OTHER THE BASKETBALL COURT. THE REST OF THE CYCLE? YEAH. OKAY.
SORRY. WITH THIS PLAN, HOW MANY PARKING SPACES PER CODE? WE NEEDED 50 FOR THE SITE. SO WE'RE RIGHT AT 50.
THAT INCLUDES ADA. EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT NUMBER.
WHAT'S THE NUMBER? THANK YOU. OCCUPANCY. I THINK THE INTENT WAS ABOUT ONE FOR 250 SPACES. SO 50 IS THE RIGHT NUMBER.
OKAY. COMMISSIONER PATTERSON, ARE YOU DONE? OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT HAVE YOU BUILT BEFORE? WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE YOU BUILT? ANY SIMILAR PROJECTS? PLENTY. I MEAN, AS FAR AS BUILDING IS CONCERNED, WE JUST FINISHED A LARGE PROJECT UP IN PANAMA CITY.
MARTIN LUTHER KING RECREATION CENTER. IT WAS ABOUT A $20 MILLION JOB FINISHED ON TIME.
AND ACTUALLY, WE CAN SEE SOME OF THEM UP HERE.
IN WESTON. WE DID VISTA PARK. TEQUESTA PARK WE'RE JUST FINISHING IN CAPE CORAL FESTIVAL PARK FOR THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL, AS WELL AS TROPICANA PARK. FESTIVAL PARK WAS ALSO ABOUT $20 MILLION WITH YOU KNOW, FOR FOUR SOCCER FIELDS YOU KNOW, BIKE PATHS, RECREATION CENTER. AND ONCE AGAIN, I'M VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE PROJECT THAT WE'VE DONE FROM A PARK STANDPOINT, WE'VE ALWAYS FINISHED ON TIME. THEY'RE NOT THAT HARD.
OKAY. YEAH, WE WERE JUST, WE WERE JUST AWARDED WASHINGTON PARK FOR THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI BEACH, WHICH IS VERY, VERY SIMILAR, A LITTLE BIT LARGER, BUT VERY SIMILAR.
THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO THE SQUARE FOOT OF THE BUILDING IS, WHAT IS IT, ABOUT 10,000? YEAH, IT'S LIKE 9900.
WANT TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT PARKING? SEEING THE ROOF STRUCTURE, IT KIND OF.
SO I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE SLOPED THE ROOFS, BUT THAT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. I MEAN, IF WE WANT TO DO THAT, WE'VE DONE THAT FOR PROJECTS BEFORE. WE'RE DOING THAT AT 72ND OUT OF MIAMI BEACH RIGHT NOW. PLANNING FOR FUTURE.
SO EXCELLENT. SO SOME OF US MAY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS IN YOUR T OR HOWEVER TO SAY THAT PROPERLY.
SO. ALL RIGHT. SO OCCUPANCY FOR THE ROOMS AND THE AEROBICS ROOM IN THE CLASSROOM.
AND IS WHAT, HOW MANY PEOPLE I MEAN FOR THE, FOR THE AEROBICS, YOU CAN HAVE A CLASS BETWEEN 25 AND 30 FOR EXERCISE, YOU KNOW FOR THE CLASSROOM, YOU'RE LOOKING AT PROBABLY 15 TO 20 PER CODE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE MAYBE 25.
BUT AGAIN, I THINK THESE ARE OPPORTUNITIES, YOU KNOW, THAT WE CAN, IF WE WANT TO FLEX THE PROGRAM A LITTLE BIT AND THEN THE FLEX SPACES, WE'RE LOOKING AT 101 HUNDRED FOR THE LARGE ONE AND THEN 50 FOR THE SMALL ONE.
AND IS THE FLEX BASED ROOM THE ONE THAT YOU CAN OPEN IT UP TOGETHER? CORRECT. SO BASICALLY THE UPSTAIRS, SO WE'RE SHOWING 150 SEATED PEOPLE RIGHT THERE WITH THAT LAYOUT.
OKAY. I SAW THAT IT SAYS COMPLETION BASICALLY IS 24 MONTHS IS ON YOUR THING. WITH SOME OF THIS ON THE PLAN. AND I KNOW IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA BE HAVING SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT.
THERE'S NO SEPARATE PLACE FOR DOGS TO RUN OR FOR PEOPLE TO WALK WITH THEIR DOGS.
SO THE DOGS AND THE PEOPLE ARE NOT WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF THEM.
SO AS MUCH AS I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD LOVE A DOG, NOT EVERYBODY DOES.
SO THAT WOULD BE ONE KIND OF COMMENT FOR FOR FUTURE THOUGHTS.
AND I BASICALLY, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. APPRECIATE YOU ALL BEING HERE. THANK YOU.
THIS IS FOR YOU, MADAM. OH, AWESOME. IT'LL BE IN THE OFFICE.
THIS WAY. BUT I LIKE HOW YOU SAYS TAMARAC. RIGHT ON TOP OF THAT, THAT TENT.
[02:30:04]
I SAW IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.TAKE CARE. I ACTUALLY STILL HAVE THE SCULPTURE OF IN VIVO IN MY OFFICE FOR WHEN THEY DID THE PRESENTATION FOR THAT, I DON'T KNOW, IT'S IN MY IN VIVO. IT'S IN MY OFFICE. OH IT IS.
YEAH. I WAS A COMMISSIONER AT THAT TIME WITH THAT DISTRICT AND I LIVED THERE.
SO IF YOU WANT IT, I WANT TO PASS THE TORCH TO YOU.
IF YOU WANT IN VIVO, IT'S A LITTLE CONE. I STILL LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
DO WE KNOW IF THE NEXT PERSON, NEXT GROUP IS READY OR THEY ARE READY? OKAY. SO DO YOU WANT US TO PUT US ON HOLD FOR A FEW MINUTES? IS THAT WHAT? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS 141. WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A FOUR MINUTE TIMEOUT TO 145.
WELCOME BACK. IT IS NOW 145 OR 146. APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE WITH US, AND MR. PASSARO WILL GIVE YOU THE RULES OF THE ROAD AND I'LL INTERJECT AFTERWARDS. GOOD AFTERNOON.
JUST A REMINDER THAT THE PRESENTATION IS ON 30 MINUTES TOTAL.
30 MINUTES. 15 MINUTES. IS THE TIME LIMIT FOR YOU TO DO YOUR PRESENTATION? ONCE YOU'RE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OUT, I WILL KIND OF LET YOU KNOW YOUR FIVE MINUTES OUT.
AND I WILL ALSO LET THE CITY COMMISSION KNOW WHEN THEY'RE FIVE MINUTES OUT FROM THE Q&A PERIOD.
SO AGAIN, 15 MINUTE PRESENTATION FOLLOWED BY 15 MINUTES.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. THANK YOU. AND THEN WHEN WE GO FOR 15 MINUTES, SINCE THERE'S FIVE OF US, WE ONLY GET THREE MINUTES. SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK THAT YOU KEEP YOUR ANSWERS TO US. VERY BRIEF, PLEASE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELCOME. AND PLEASE BEGIN. OKAY. IS IT WORKING? GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY. HOW ARE YOU? I'M JOHN POMPEO.
BUT MR. CHISHOLM IS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME, AND THE REST OF OUR DESIGNERS ARE BEHIND US.
AS YOU CAN SEE. IS THE LIST OF THE PEOPLE ON THE BOARD IN YOUR POWERPOINT.
OUR COMPANY STARTED IN 1927 AND IN FLORIDA SINCE 1992.
MR. CHISHOLM HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA SINCE 1982. WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER SINCE 1999.
ALL SUCCESSFUL CITY COUNTY SCHOOL PROJECTS IN THE LOCAL AREA.
JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME HIGHLIGHTS, LAST FIVE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE CONSTRUCTED SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC ALL DESIGN BUILD, EXCEPT FOR ONE PARK WAS ON A DESIGN BUILD. LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ALL YOUR PEOPLE IN THE CITY.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TIME, BUT JUST A SNEAK PEEK IF YOU GUYS DIDN'T SEE IT IN FULL.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE CITY BEFORE. THIS IS OUR FIRST VERSION.
SO ONCE YOU GUYS SEE ALL THE THINGS YOU LIKE, YOU MIGHT LIKE A LITTLE R AS LITTLE OTHERS, LITTLE SOMEBODY ELSE'S. WE'VE SAT DOWN WITH THE CITY AND WE MADE CHANGES WHETHER WE WANT TO MOVE THINGS AROUND, WE WANT TO CHANGE THE ELEVATION, WE WANT TO CHANGE THE COLORS.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO AS DESIGN BUILDERS. THIS IS NOT A FIX.
THIS IS ALL YOU GET. IF WE WANT TO MOVE STAIRWAYS, WE WANT TO MOVE ROOFS.
ET CETERA. ET CETERA. THAT'S WHAT WE DO AS YOUR DESIGN BUILDER.
AGAIN ANOTHER AERIAL PHOTO WITH THE AMENITIES ALL LISTED THERE.
THE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT COMMUNITY CENTER, THE OBSERVATION DECK, THE FISHING PIER, THE PLAYGROUND AREA, THE BIG BELLY TRASH CANS. BY THE WAY, THAT'S IN THE ADDENDUM.
THE EV CHARGING STATIONS, THE ADDED DUMPSTER THAT WASN'T IN THE RFP.
WE INCLUDED THAT BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU NEED ONE.
THE ENTRY SIGNAGE, THE DIGITAL INFORMATION KIOSK, ETC.
[02:35:07]
PROJECTS WE'VE DONE FOR THE CITY, ALL THE AMENITIES WITH THE BENCHES, THE RECEPTACLES, THE ART DISPLAYS, ETC.. ANOTHER LIST OF ALL THE ITEMS WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WE HAVE INCLUDED IN OUR PRICE.THERE ARE NO OH, BY THE WAY, WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT.
THE HEXAGON SHELTER, THE PICNIC PAVILIONS, THE REGULATION BASKETBALL, THE TENNIS COURT, MULTI-PURPOSE, ETC. THE KOMPAN PLAYGROUND STRUCTURE, THE FOOTPRINT TO ACCOMMODATE MULTIPLE AGES, THREE SLIDES, THE PLAYGROUND ELEMENTS, THE SAFETY CAGE COVER AGAIN, THE BIG BILLY TRASH RECEPTACLES THAT WE HAD TO MAKE SURE YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT.
AND ALSO LANDSCAPE STRUCTURES AS SPECIFIED IN THE RFP FOR THE SHADE COVER, THE LUMEN TENDER DESIGN.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS IT INCLUDED.
WE WANTED TO HAVE A SLIDE JUST FOR THIS TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S INCLUDED IN OUR PROPOSAL.
ANOTHER RENDERING A FLOOR PLAN TO SHOW YOU ALL THE ELEMENTS, AND YOU CAN SEE THE CIRCULATION BY THE COLORS SQUARE FOOTAGE, ETC. FOR EACH ROOM TO MATCH WHAT'S IN THE RFP.
SECOND FLOOR, SAME THING. THE CIRCULATION LOCATION OF THE ROOMS THAT YOU ASKED FOR IN THE RFP, AS WELL AS THE SIZE OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIRED.
AGAIN, ANOTHER RENDERING MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WE KNOW WORKING FOR THE CITY THAT YOU GUYS REQUIRE CERTAIN THINGS FOR YOUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT, I.E. PLUMBING CHASE WAYS IN BETWEEN MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BATHROOMS. THAT WAY IT'S EASY ACCESS. SO WE LISTED A BUNCH OF STUFF FOR YOU SPRAY FOAM INSULATION IN THE ATTIC, ALL THESE THINGS REQUIRED BY CODE, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE BUILDING DESIGNED FOR LOW MAINTENANCE AND LONG TERM DURABILITY.
CIVIL DESIGN AS FAR AS UTILITY, GRADING, DRAINAGE, ETC.
WE MADE SURE WE WENT AND GOT WITH THE COUNTY.
DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE TYING INTO? SO THERE'S NO UNFORESEEN.
LANDSCAPING, ALL THE ITEMS THAT YOUR CITY STAFF IS GOING TO REQUIRE TO MEET THE REQUIRED CODES FOR LANDSCAPING, IRRIGATION. WE LISTED ALL OF THEM. WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, YOU CAN READ THAT AT YOUR LEISURE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COUNTY FPL, THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, SWFWMD, BROWARD COUNTY HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL, THE ELEVATOR DEPARTMENT, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE THAT WE'VE KNOWN, WE'VE WORKED WITH BEFORE, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THEM IN ORDER TO GET OUR PERMIT FOR YOU TO START WORK OR JUST A LITTLE BIT OF COST CONTROL SCHEDULING.
EVERYTHING IS MICROMANAGED WITH COMPUTERS THESE DAYS.
WE HAVE ALL THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, ALL THE PAPERWORK AND REPORTS WILL BE SHARED WITH THE TEAM AT THE CITY DURING OUR MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE EVERY WEEK OR EVERY TWO WEEKS, A SCHEDULE THAT WAS REQUESTED IN THE RFP TO SHOW YOU WE'RE GOING TO CONFORM TO THE SCHEDULE REQUESTED THAT YOU ASKED FOR 670 DAYS.
A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE PROPOSAL THAT WE BROKE DOWN FOR YOU, THAT WE BELIEVE WE'RE UNDER BUDGET.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE STRIVE TO DO IS KEEP YOU UNDER BUDGET.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO STEALING FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S TAXPAYER MONEY.
WE WANT TO KEEP IT WITHIN BUDGET. RFP ITEMS. WE REALLY WANTED TO BRING HOME ITEMS THAT MIGHT NOT BE INCLUDED WITH OTHER TEAMS, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THESE ITEMS THE SLIP RESISTANT EPOXY, THE STANDING SEAM ROOFS, THE STORAGE ROOMS THAT YOU NEED FOR CODE, AND THE CITY STAFF FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES, THE MEETING ROOMS, THE YOGA CLASSROOMS, THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICES WITH BULLETPROOF GLASS AND MULTIPLE OFFICES ARE ALL INCLUDED IN OUR NUMBER, SIGHT AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. WE LISTED THE ITEMS THAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHOW YOU IN OUR DESIGN THAT WE CONFORM TO ALL OF THOSE CATEGORIES.
SITE HIGHLIGHTS. WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT DECORATIVE THEME.
THAT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE SYSTEM. AGAIN, MORE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BUILDING.
CLEAR SIGHT LINES. THESE ARE DESIGN ITEMS THAT WOULD.
BOB WOULD LOVE TO GET UP AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT. SO IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, THESE ARE ALL BOB'S TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURAL TERMS. AND WHY CHOOSE US? BECAUSE THE CITY. AS WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED IN THE PAST, WE ONLY TAKE ON 2 OR 3 JOBS.
SO WE JUST FINISHED TWO JOBS. WE HAVE ONE GOING FOR BROWARD COUNTY RIGHT NOW.
THE TIMING IS PERFECT FOR US TO START YOUR DESIGN AND GET THIS PROJECT STARTED.
WITHDRAWING IT AND AND PERMITTING IT ALL THE PROJECTS WE'VE LISTED BEFORE.
[02:40:05]
WE WORK WITH YOU IN THE PAST. VAST DESIGN BUILD EXPERIENCE FROM MIAMI TO PALM BEACH COUNTY.THAT'S OUR SOLE FOCUS. IF WE CAN'T DRIVE TO IT IN AN HOUR, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THE WORK.
WE KNOW WHAT IT DESIGN BUILD ENTAILS THE PAPERWORK, THE INSPECTIONS, THE DESIGN PERMITTING, ETC. WE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH THE CITY.
EVERYBODY BEHIND YOU HAS BEEN ON THE SAME TEAM FOR EVERY DESIGN BUILD JOB WE'VE DONE FOR YOUR CITY.
SO THIS IS NOT NEW TEAM PEOPLE GETTING USED TO PEOPLE.
SO YOU'RE SAYING MAYBE WHY IS JOHN SO COMPETITIVE? BECAUSE WE DO OUR OWN WORK. WE DO OUR OWN CONCRETE, WE DO OUR OWN SHELL, WE DO OUR OWN CARPENTRY, ETC. SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPETITIVE THAN OTHER CONTRACTORS.
WE HAVE NEVER HAD A CLAIM FROM A BOND, NEVER HAD A LIEN OR A LAWSUIT.
SINCE 1993. WE E-VERIFY ALL OUR EMPLOYEES. WE PERFORM BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR SECURITY PURPOSES.
LEVEL TWO SCREENING. OUR SAFETY RECORD IS PERFECT BECAUSE WE HAVE A SAFE PROJECT SITE, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE AN EXPERIENCE MODIFIER OF ONE FOR OUR WORKERS COMP. WE WILL UTILIZE LOCAL CITY TAMARAC CONTRACTORS.
THAT WAY WE GATHER THEM INTO THE MIX. THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR TO GO TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
THERE'S A REASON WHY WE PICKED BY CITIES BEFORE IS BECAUSE WE DO WHAT'S RIGHT.
WE GIVE YOU A QUALITY PROJECT. NO TRICKERY, NO SWITCHING.
THERE'S NO HIDDEN AGENDA WITH US. WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IS INCLUDED.
THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE ORDERS. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF DESIGN BUILD.
UNLESS THERE'S AN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND, SO TO SPEAK, BELOW THE SITE, OR YOU ASK FOR A CARPET IN A ROOM AND YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT TO TILE, THEN THAT'S A LEGITIMATE UPGRADE. BUT THERE ARE NO CHANGE ORDERS.
AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ONE MORE THING. WHAT'S IN OUR DESIGN? EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED, BUT PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT WE BUILT FOR YOU GUYS IS DESIGN BUILD.
WHEN WE INITIALLY DESIGNED THAT EVENT, THAT BUILDING WAS ON THE FRONT OF NOB HILL.
THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED NOW IS NOT THE WAY WE DESIGNED IT.
THE CITY STAFF WANTED IT. EVERYTHING CHANGED AROUND.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR DESIGN, WE'LL TWEAK IT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOOD AT ANYWAY. I WANT TO LET BOB TALK.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. YOU SAID FOUR AND A HALF.
BOB, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW POINTS, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO ELABORATE.
I WAS THINKING I WAS HEARING BECAUSE WE'VE WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK TOGETHER.
OUR FIRST DIVI PROJECT WAS IN 1998, THE BROWARD COUNTY HOMELESS FACILITY.
IT WAS OUR FOURTH AT THAT TIME, OUR FOURTH DESIGN BUILD PROJECT.
IT WAS A A. LANDSIDE CARGO FACILITY 800FT LONG WITH 250 PARKING SPACES ON TOP ON THE ROOF. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THE MOVEMENT OF THIS BUILDING, YOU KNOW, WITH THE EXPANSION CONTRACTION OF BUILDING OF THAT NATURE.
SO WATER WAS GOING TO COME IN AND WE WORKED VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH THE MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER WATER CAME IN, WE WOULD DISPOSE OF IT PROPERLY. THERE WERE NINE BUILDINGS BUILT AFTER US WITH THAT, AND WE WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE.
SO THAT'S THE KIND OF ATTENTION THAT WE PAY TO ALL OUR PROJECTS.
WE. AND WE JOHN SAID IT. SO I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THINGS.
WE. WE NEED TO WORK VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CLIENT.
WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE USER. WE NEED TO LISTEN TO YOUR STAFF, YOUR PARKS DEPARTMENT, WHOMEVER THE CITY WOULD THINK IS APPROPRIATE TO GIVE INPUT INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE. WE CAN DESIGN AND DELIVER ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU LIKE.
NOT TOO LONG AGO, I'M THINKING IT WAS BEFORE COVID, WE DID THE FATHER GEORGE FACILITY, SIMILAR FACILITY WITH A POOL, ETC. AT AT A PARK FOR THE MIAMI DADE COUNTY PARKS DEPARTMENT.
IT WAS GOING TO BE THE PROTOTYPE AND WE DESIGNED IT AND WE DESIGNED IT FOR LEED GOLD LEAD, LEED SILVER, I BEG YOUR PARDON? LEED SILVER, THE ACCREDITATION BOARD GAVE US LEED GOLD UNSOLICITED.
SO WE WE ARE ABLE AND WE ARE VERY, VERY CONSCIOUS OF HOW TO WORK SUCCESSFULLY WITH GOVERNMENTS.
WHICH, BY THE WAY, THIS JOB IS NOT LEED CERTIFIED.
[02:45:02]
WE ASKED THE QUESTION DURING BIDDING TIME, BUT WE ARE GOING TO DESIGN IT AS IF YOU WANT TO GO GET A CERTIFICATE FOR LEED.WE HAVE ALL OF THE ITEMS INCORPORATED TO MEET LEED STANDARDS.
EXACTLY. SO WE'RE EXTREMELY INTERESTED. WE WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER.
ALL OUR CONSULTANTS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH US IN NUMEROUS PROJECTS FROM AROUND.
AND MATTHEW POLAK. RAISE YOUR HAND WILL BE THE PROJECT MANAGER.
SO YOUR YOUR ANSWERS, YOUR QUESTIONS, YOUR CONCERNS, YOUR WHATEVER KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT.
YOU CAN CALL US ANY TIME. YOU ALWAYS HAVE THREE PHONE NUMBERS.
BOB AND I ARE ALWAYS INVOLVED. MATT. HIS RIGHT HAND.
JOHN. MY RIGHT HAND HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR 31 YEARS.
LIKE I SAID, THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE HERE HAS BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR SINCE 1999.
THAT'S A LONG TIME. SO WE KNOW HOW WHO'S GOOD AND WHO DOESN'T RETURN CALLS.
ET CETERA. ET CETERA. AND IF, IF YOU IF YOU IF THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ICONIC, IF YOU WILL, WE CAN SIT DOWN AND WE CAN DESIGN IT. WE JUST FINISHED A BASEBALL STADIUM FOR A HIGH SCHOOL IN MIAMI.
AND IT'S THE COACHES AND THE, AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL TOLD ME THAT IT SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.
EVERYBODY'S SCRAMBLING, INCLUDING COLUMBUS. AND OKAY.
AND WE'VE GOTTEN TWO BASEBALL STADIUMS SINCE THEN.
SO BASICALLY THE KEY IS WE'RE LOCAL. THAT'S HOW I WANT TO EMPHASIZE.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. WE KNOW WHAT THE CITY ANTICIPATES, WE KNOW THE INSPECTION PROCESS, WE KNOW THE STAFF THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH TO GO THROUGH THE TIME.
AND I WANTED TO JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED.
WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE. THIS IS NOT OUR FIRST RODEO AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK TO TAMARAC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NOW TO THE QUESTIONS.
VICE MAYOR. COMMISSIONER DANIEL, I'M THINKING, NOT THINKING.
BUT YOU GOT YOUR FIVE MINUTES. THREE MINUTES.
GO AHEAD. YOU SAID YOU WOULD CHANGE TO WHAT WE WANT, RIGHT? BUT SHOULDN'T YOU BRING US? SEE WHAT THE BEAUTY OF WHAT YOU GET IS? YOU GET MULTIPLE PROPOSALS. SO THE ONE PROPOSAL MIGHT HAVE YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU BUY A HOUSE, YOU GO TO ONE HOUSE. IT'S GOT BIG BEDROOMS, BUT THE KITCHEN TOO SMALL.
YOU GO TO THE NEXT HOUSE, THE KITCHEN BAY, BUT THE GARAGE IS TOO, TOO SMALL.
I'M SORRY. I MEAN, TO ME, YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOUR BEST THE FIRST TIME, RIGHT? IF I MAY. COMMISSIONER. AND, AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A VERY LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
AND IF YOU AND I'VE BEEN AN ARCHITECT SINCE 1973 AND I'VE HAD MY FIRM FOR 45 YEARS, THE DESIGN PROCESS, IN ORDER TO HAVE A PROJECT THAT MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS THAT A CLIENT WANTS AND NEEDS.
REQUIRES A LOT OF INTERCHANGE BETWEEN THE CLIENT AND THE TEAM BECAUSE.
THE CLIENT. WE HELP YOU THINK AND PROCESS THROUGH THE.
THE PROGRAMING, IF YOU WILL. SO WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS CASE WHERE YOU'RE SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL? WE WE SUBMIT OUR BEST THAT WE THINK YOU WANT BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN US.
BUT PERHAPS WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN US MIGHT REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT MORE THOUGHT, MORE.
THAT'S UP TO THE CLIENT. IT'S UP TO THE CLIENT.
AND, AND THEN WE CAN MOVE IT AROUND TO SEE HOW WE CAN MEET IT WITHIN THOSE SAME PARAMETERS.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BUDGET AS WELL, AND WE HAVE TO MEET THAT BUDGET.
SO AND, AND I, THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. A CLIENT WILL COME AND THEY'LL SAY, I HAVE $10, AND HERE'S WHAT I WANT. AND I GO, WELL, YOU'RE ASKING FOR IS $50.
AND, AND SO YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE T'S AND I'S ARE
[02:50:10]
DOTTED AND IT'S ABOUT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK. AND SO THAT WHEN WE DELIVER IS EXACTLY WHAT WE PROMISED AND WHAT YOU EXPECT. YEAH. EVERYTHING IS IN THERE.WE GAVE IT OUR BEST SHOT TO MEET YOUR BUDGET.
BUT LIKE I SAID, ON OTHER PROJECTS WE'VE DONE FOR YOU IN OTHER CITIES, IF YOU WANT TO REVISE AN ELEVATION OR YOU WANT TO MOVE THE BATHROOM, OR YOU WANT TO TAKE THE TENNIS COURT AND PUT IT ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER VERSUS THE NORTHEAST CORNER, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE SIT DOWN WITH THE TEAM.
THANK YOU. I WON'T COMMISSIONER PATTERSON. COMMISSIONER.
RIGHT. VICE MAYOR. SO AS FAR AS THE DESIGN WAS, YOU SAID ON THIS.
YES. OKAY. SO FROM THE STANDPOINT, LIKE IF YOU WANT TO MOVE, THINGS CHANGE ELEVATIONS, CHANGE COLORS, WE'RE NOT CASTING STONE. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.
BUT IF WE MOVE THINGS AROUND AND CHANGE THINGS, WE'RE FLEXIBLE IN THAT VEIN.
OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO YOU'RE THE LAST ONES ON ON OUR DAY.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT POPPED UP NOW BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED YOU GAVE US A PROPOSAL BASED ON SPECS THAT WE PROVIDED, CORRECT? RIGHT. SO WHEN THE NUMBER HOW MUCH MONEY DID WE SAY WE WANTED THIS TO BE ABOUT? I THINK IT WAS NINE. EIGHT. YEAH. WE WANTED IT NINE EIGHT.
SO YOU GAVE US A BUDGET FOR IT. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 9.7.
YOU CAME TO US BECAUSE YOU FEEL THAT THE PROJECT YOU'RE GIVING US IS BASED TO BUDGET.
BUT IF I HEAR CORRECTLY, IF WE WANTED SOMETHING WITH MORE WINDOWS OR DIFFERENT STYLE TO THE BUILDING, WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY, YOU MIGHT HAVE GIVEN IT TO US, BUT YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO US BECAUSE YOU WORKED TO A BUDGET AROUND THEREABOUTS. WE WORK TO A BUDGET. IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE ELEVATIONS, MICHELLE, THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
ADDING WINDOWS 1 OR 2. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
IF I MAY. AND THERE'S REALLY, LIKE YOU SAID, WHAT YOU SAID IS TRUE AND CORRECT.
BUT REMEMBER THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER.
YEAH. SO IF YOU WANT MORE WINDOWS, HOW DO WE KNOW? WE'RE JUST MAKING SURE THAT THAT BUDGET FITS THE REASON THAT WE SELECTED THIS SHAPE OF ROOF, FOR EXAMPLE. THERE ARE REASONS WHY EVERYTHING YOU SEE THERE IS THERE.
ASK A LITTLE CHILD WHO'S GOING TO BE OR CHILDREN OR WHOMEVER TO DRAW YOU A PICTURE OF THEIR HOUSE.
WHAT DO THEY DRAW? BECAUSE IT'S A VERY FRIENDLY SHAPE AND WE WANT EVERYTHING THERE TO BE FRIENDLY.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN EXPLAIN THAT AT ADDINGTON, YOU KNOW, FOREVER BECAUSE EVERYTHING THERE HAS A PURPOSE AND A REASON, FLOW AND CIRCULATION, RELATIONSHIPS, ETC.. SO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO HAS A PURPOSE AND MEANING WHICH THE CITY MIGHT NOT BE AWARE AND WE CAN EXPLAIN IT.
THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT. GOTCHA. SO ALSO THE CONCEPT IS FROM WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOUR VISION, IT WAS BECAUSE IT'S IN A HOUSING. IT'S IN A COMMUNITY, A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.
YOU WANTED A FRIENDLY, FRIENDLY, RESIDENTIAL ISH TYPE THING.
LOOK, BUILDING TO GO INTO A COMMUNITY CLUBHOUSE.
CORRECT. OKAY. THAT WAS THE REASON. ALL RIGHT.
HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS DID YOU HAVE IN THERE? I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE TOUCHED. I THINK 37.
37 WITH TWO ADA. SO WAS THAT REALLY 39 OR IS THAT 37? WHATEVER CODE IS GOING TO REQUIRE, WE'RE GOING TO MEET THE QUANTITY. 37 PLUS TWO. I DON'T REMEMBER IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
AND OCCUPANCY TO FIT IN THE USER SPACE ROOMS THAT LIKE IF WE'RE HAVING THE FLEX ROOMS OR WHATEVER, WHAT WE DID THERE IS WE CREATED THE SPACE. I NEED YOU I'M SORRY.
SORRY, I FORGET TO SORRY. MATT CHISHOLM ARCHITECTS AS WELL.
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM WITH THE PROGRAM SPACES, THEN WE TOOK THE, THE, THE SQUARE FOOTAGES, DEPENDING ON THE USE THERE EITHER GROW SQUARE FOOTAGES OR NET USABLE SQUARE FOOTAGES AND THEN CALCULATED THOSE.
AND THAT GIVES US OUR OVERALL OCCUPANCIES, WHICH HELPS US WITH OUR EGRESS REQUIREMENTS.
[02:55:01]
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT HELPS US WITH THE RESTROOM REQUIREMENTS ON WHAT WE NEED FOR THE RESTROOMS AND THE WAY WE WE DESIGN.THIS IS BECAUSE REALLY THE GROUND FLOOR IS MORE I WANT TO SAY MORE OF A DAYTIME KIND OF USE.
AND THEN THE UPSTAIRS BECOMES A MORE OF A SPECIAL USE WITH CLASSROOMS AND STUFF.
AND THEN WE DID THE SAME THING FOR THE FOR THE GROUND FLOOR, WHICH WORKS MORE FOR THE ENTIRE PARK.
BUT WHAT YOU DO HAVE THERE IS THE FLEXIBILITY THAT IF THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR ARE BOTH OPEN, THEN YOU HAVE YOU PROBABLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF OVERAGE ON WHAT YOU NEED FOR, FOR RESTROOM FACILITIES, ASSUMING YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON HOW THE PARK IS GOING TO BE USED.
BUT I WANT TO SAY THE YOGA STUDIO, I THINK WE REALLY BASE THAT ON THE PROGRAM THAT WE WERE, THAT WE WERE GIVEN. AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR, THE MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE, WHAT WE DID WITH THE MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE IS SIZE THAT ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE'RE GIVEN. AND THEN THAT ALLOWED US TO SUBDIVIDE IT INTO SMALLER SPACES AND THOSE TEMPORARY RIGHT WITH TEMPORARY PARTITIONS.
AND THEN WE DESIGNED THE WARMING KITCHEN SO IT COULD ACTUALLY SERVE, IT COULD SERVE BOTH SIDES.
IF IT, IF IT NEEDED TO, PROBABLY DOESN'T REALLY HAPPEN THAT OFTEN, BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY.
SO WHAT IS THE, HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I SQUEEZE IN THAT ROOM? I HAVE TO GO BACK AND DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT. BUT I WOULD SAY ON I CAN'T READ THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FROM HERE.
50 AND 150 AND 100. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALL RIGHT. THE WARMING KITCHEN IS BASICALLY IDENTICAL, SIMILAR TO THE TAMARAC PARK REC THAT WE DID, SIMILAR TO TAMARAC SPORTS COMPLEX. WE DID. SO ALL OF THE SAME ATTRIBUTES.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE ELEVATOR. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IT SAW THAT IN THERE, BUT GO AHEAD MICHELLE.
THAT'S OKAY. AND YOU GOT INDOOR BATHROOMS ON THIS ONE. SO NO OUTDOOR ONE OF THEM.
NO. WE'RE GOING TO PUT ONE NEAR THE FISHING PIER.
BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN INDOOR BATHROOM. BUT THAT'S JUST ME. ANYHOW, ANOTHER ANOTHER TOPIC FOR ANOTHER TIME. NOW GOING BACK TO THE OUTSIDE, AND THIS IS JUST A STANDARD QUESTION I'VE BEEN SHARING WITH EVERYBODY AND I KNOW IT'S OBVIOUSLY SUBJECT TO A CONVERSATION. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING FOR A TRAIL FOR PEOPLE OR ANYTHING FOR A DOG WALKING OR ANY PLACE FOR DOGS TO BE ABLE TO RUN AND FOR PEOPLE TO BE WITH THEIR, THEIR PETS. BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO BE NEAR DOGS.
SO THERE'S NO SEPARATE LOCATION THAT I SEE UNLESS I'M NOT SEEING.
THERE ACTUALLY IS AN OPEN AREA ALONGSIDE TO THE LEFT OF THE PLAYGROUND THAT IS ACTUALLY WAS DESIGNED FOR A DOG WALKING AREA FOR A FUTURE PROJECT. SO WE CREATED THE SPACE, PUT IT NEXT TO THE PLAYGROUND.
THE PATHS ALL FLOW TO AND FROM IT SO IT'S READY TO GO.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF IT WASN'T ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS, BUT WE DID ADD A SPACE FOR IT.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I AM OUT OF TIME.
SO WE THANK YOU TEAM, FOR BEING HERE. AND WE ASK YOU TO GET HOME SAFELY OR WHEREVER YOU'RE GOING.
YEAH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANKS FOR CHANGING THE DATE, BY THE WAY. THE TIME.
ALL RIGHT. AS OUR GUESTS DEPART. THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
YOU TOO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
IT POPS UP AND IT DISAPPEARS EVERY TIME I SEE IT POPS UP.
AND IF. YOU NEED A BREAK. ANY BREAK. OKAY, SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M BEING ASKED FOR A FIVE MINUTE BREAK. SO LET'S COME BACK HERE AT 220.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME BACK.
IT IS 22221, AND WE'RE STILL ON MONDAY, JUNE 8TH.
IS THAT WHAT OUR GOAL IS? CITY MANAGER? YES, MADAM MAYOR.
OKAY. SO. I KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE QUESTIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO NARROW IT DOWN, BUT I HAVE SOME GENERAL QUESTIONS THAT I WANT TO ASK BEFORE WE DO THIS.
[03:00:02]
GENERAL NARROWING DOWN, PLEASE, IF I MAY. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE TO FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE BECAUSE I'M FEELING NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN ALL THE APPLICANTS WERE ADVISED THAT WE WERE COMING TO THIS MEETING TODAY. WHO DO I ASK? AND THIS IS NOT TO GET ANYBODY IN TROUBLE. I'M TRYING TO GET THE GROUNDWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING CERTAIN THINGS THAT I MAY HAVE SEEN TODAY, AND WE MIGHT NEED THAT. IT'S PROBABLY THE SAME TIME YOU RECEIVED THE NOTICE.MADAM MAYOR. I GOT THAT THURSDAY EVENING WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
SO THAT WAS JUST THURSDAY. IS THAT THE TIME, PAUL? THE SUPPLIERS WERE INFORMED. I DON'T HAVE THE EMAIL ON ME, BUT IT WAS EITHER MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK, SO IT WAS LAST WEEK. WE BASICALLY ASKED THESE SEVEN ENTITIES TO GET TO US WITHIN A WEEK.
THESE PACKAGES. IS THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING.
NO, THE PACKAGES WERE ALREADY IN PLACE. THE BIDS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE.
SO THEY JUST PREPARED THEIR PRESENTATION YOU KNOW, TO BRING TO THIS CONVERSATION TODAY.
RIGHT. SO WE ASKED THESE SEVEN MAJOR COMPANIES TO GET EVERYTHING TOGETHER, WHETHER IT WAS ALREADY CREATED ONCE OR NOT, TO PRESENT TO US IN LESS THAN A WEEK. SO FAIR ENOUGH.
WHEN WE DO OUR DESIGN BUILDS THAT WE'VE ASKED PEOPLE HERE TODAY, DO WE SAY STICK TO YOUR PARAMETERS? WHAT DO WE TELL THEM IS MOSTLY WHAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR.
BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN VARIOUS THINGS, BUT ADMITTEDLY, WE'VE SEEN PROJECTS THAT ARE AT BUDGET AND SOME THAT ARE NOT AT BUDGET AND SOME ARE NOT AT BUDGET, MAY HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE GRAND DESIGN THAN SOME THAT MAYBE WERE AT BUDGET. SO PART OF ME IS CONCERNED ABOUT NOT NECESSARILY SEEING APPLES TO APPLES.
BUT I JUST WANT A KIND OF A LITTLE CLEAR ON THE RECORD FROM SOME OF THE STUFF WE SAW.
IN CASE THERE ARE ANY THOUGHTS OF. WHY DID SOMEBODY DO THIS? WHY DID SOMEBODY DO THAT? AND IF IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY LOOK SOME OF IT SIMILAR.
SO, MADAM MAYOR, IF I MAY WE SPECIFIED WHAT WE SPECIFIED.
AND THEN AND THEN WE PUT OUT THE THE RFP AND, AND BASED ON THE LANGUAGE IN THE RFP, YOU HAVE SEVEN COMPANIES THAT HAVE PROVIDED THEIR PROPOSALS.
FIVE OF THEM ARE OUTSIDE OF THE THE, THE BUDGET AND TWO OF THEM ARE SOMEWHAT CLOSER TO THE BUDGET.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY BID THE WAY THEY BID.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR AN ICONIC IMPROVEMENT TO THE, TO THE, TO THE AREA, TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR A CREATIVE DESIGN TO COME IN FOR THESE FACILITIES.
AND SO FIVE COMPANIES WHEN OUTSIDE OF THE PERIMETER AND TWO COMPANIES STAYED INSIDE THE PERIMETER.
AND THE PERIMETER, MEANING THE, THE ADVERTISED BUDGET, RIGHT? WHICH MOST OF THE TIME. OKAY. THAT'S FINE. SO WE WERE GIVEN A.
SHEET THAT HAS THE SEVEN COMPANIES NAMES ON IT.
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO DEAL WITH BREAKING THIS DOWN.
MY THOUGHT IS TO ASK FOR THE TOP THREE OF EACH.
I'VE GOT TWO FROWNING FACES AND TWO FACES AND PHONES.
I DON'T MIND. TOP THREE COMMISSIONER PATTERSON.
I MEAN, I GUESS. DO YOU WANT QUESTIONS? YEAH.
WHAT'S THE PROCESS? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT. ONE. I SEE, I SEE, I SEE DEVELOPERS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE.
ARE WE JUST I MEAN, THEY OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T SEE EACH OTHER. BUT YOU PUT YOUR.
YEAH. I MEAN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING.
[03:05:08]
SO I'M NOT INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, SAYING WHO I LIKE OR DON'T LIKE NECESSARILY.COMMISSIONER. WE'RE FOLLOWING THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE'VE DONE FOR SABAL PALM PARK, WHICH IS YOU KNOW, WE PUT OUT THE BID AND THE PROPOSALS COME IN, AND THEN WE PUT ALL THE PROPOSALS IN FRONT OF THE CITY COMMISSION BECAUSE IT'S A VERY PUBLIC PROJECT. AND SO OUR GOAL HERE IS TO IS FOR THE COMMISSION TO IDENTIFY THE MOST CREATIVE, MOST FITTING, MOST YOU KNOW IMPROVING PROJECT THAT, THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN AT THAT LOCATION. AND SO BASED ON THE PRESENTATIONS THIS MORNING, I HOPE THAT YOU CAN YOU KNOW NARROW IT DOWN TO TO, TO A, TO A VENDOR AND THEN AUTHORIZE THE CITY STAFF TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT BASED ON THE, THE MOST FITTING DESIGN IN THE PROPOSAL THAT YOU'VE SEEN TODAY. SO WE SO IF WE GO WITH WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING, MAYOR, WHICH IS IDENTIFYING. THREE HOW DO WE GET TO ONE? THEN WE CAN. I WAS THINKING WE CAN THEN TALK ABOUT THEIR PROJECTS AND WHAT WAS BEST OR NOT, I. SO ARE WE OUT OF THE CONE OF SILENCE? YEAH, WE'RE.
SO. RIGHT. YEAH. SO LOOK, PUBLIC MEETINGS BASICALLY PREVENT PRIVATE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE VENDORS.
BUT THESE ARE PUBLIC MEETINGS WHICH ALLOW VENDORS TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.
AND UNTIL THE CITY RECOMMENDATION IS MADE FOR WEDNESDAY MEETING, THE QUARANTINE STILL APPLIES.
WELL, CAN I OKAY. GO AHEAD. I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS.
I'M HANDS DOWN NOT PLEASED WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
AND I'M SORRY. WE AS A COMMISSION HAVEN'T EVEN SAT AND TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE THINK IS THE MOST FITTING FOR THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE QUITE HONESTLY, SOME OF THE OUT OF THE BOX THINKING THAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR HAS BEEN DONE AND THE BUILDINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THAT ACTUALLY FITS THE COMMUNITY.
IT ABUTS AND SURROUNDS AND IS ACROSS THE STREET.
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? IT'S BEAUTIFUL. AND I'M NOT SAYING I DON'T LIKE IT, AND I'M NOT SAYING I'M AGAINST THAT PROJECT BECAUSE HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE WHO'S WHAT RIGHT NOW. BUT MY POINT BEING IS WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO KNOW WHAT'S MOST FITTING.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN ESTABLISHED SOME OF THE CRITERIA.
WE WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO DO A FEW THINGS BASED ON WHAT THE GRANT WAS, THAT THE CITY WENT OUT AND GOT RIGHT AND THE SELECTION WOULD BE NARROWED DOWN AS THIS PROJECT WENT OUT. BUT THAT'S A DISCUSSION THAT YOU ALL HAD NOT.
WE ALL HAD. YOU DID TOO. WE HAD A GENERAL. BUT YOU ALSO.
WE'RE ON A BUDGET, RIGHT? WE'RE TOLD KEEP IT AT 9.8.
THIRD RAIL THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS GOING TO STEP ON IS WE'RE ABOUT TO DEAL WITH PROPERTY TAX POTENTIAL REFORM AND CONCERNS ABOUT BUDGET OR NON BUDGET AND SOME EXPENSIVE THINGS THAT THE CITY ACTUALLY NEEDS AS A PRIORITY.
NOT SAYING NOT TO DO THE PROJECTS. I HOPE PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO WHAT I'M SAYING.
I AM NOT SAYING NOT TO DO THE PROJECT, BUT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SOME PRIORITIES HERE AND MONEY.
SO I DON'T LIKE BEING PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH.
AND I'LL JUST USE AS AN EXAMPLE, IT'S NOT THE FAULT OF THE BUILDER ON THIS ONE, BUT WHEN THE PROJECT OF THE CONCESSIONS, THE TWO STOREY NEW CONCESSION BUILDING WENT UP AT SPORTS COMPLEX.
THERE'S NO BATHROOM INSIDE, RIGHT? IT'S RIDICULOUS.
YOU WANT TO WASH YOUR HANDS, YOU BRING FOOD IN.
YOU GOT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS, OUTSIDE AND AROUND THE BEND.
IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS PROJECT, WE NEED TO DO IT RIGHT.
AND RIGHT NOW, PART OF ME IS FEELING LIKE WE'RE NOT REALLY READY TO DO IT RIGHT.
MY FEELINGS AND I FEEL THIS HAS BEEN FORCED UPON US TO SMUSH IT INTO TODAY AND TRY TO MAKE A DECISION WHERE THERE'S NOT EVEN A GOOD, COMFORTABLE FEELING OF TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS ONESELF, ESPECIALLY ON A TIGHT TIME FRAME.
[03:10:07]
BASICALLY GIVE THE MANAGER AUTHORITY TO BASICALLY COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF A PROPOSAL TO THE COMMISSION.HE HAS IN THE PAST TRADITIONALLY MOVED FORWARD WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION.
I BELIEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES THE MANAGER WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE COMMISSION HAD MORE INVOLVEMENT AND BASICALLY INDICATE THAT, LOOK, THE PROPOSALS WILL PRESENT THE PROPOSALS TO THE COMMISSION AND AND THE COMMISSION MAKE A CONSENSUS CALL.
SO THAT'S HIS OPTION THAT HE HAS UTILIZED IN THE PAST AND HE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
BUT NEVERTHELESS, YOU KNOW, HE CAN USE A TRADITIONAL WAY, WHICH HE HAS USED IN THE PAST TO COME IN.
HE, I THINK YOU HAD AN EVALUATION COMMITTEE ALSO.
CORRECT. SO AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION COMMISSION, MAKE THE CALL.
OKAY. IF I GOT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING THERE. CITY ATTORNEY, THE COMMENT IS THE CITY MANAGER DID NOT HAVE TO BRING THE SEVEN TO US. THE CITY MANAGER COULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TRADITIONAL PROCESS THAT WE USED TO DO ALL THE TIME, WHERE THE PROFESSIONALS JUDGED WHAT OTHER PROFESSIONALS PROVIDED AND DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS IN THE SCOPE AND SELECTED THE BID THAT WAY, AND THEN CAME TO US WITH THE PROJECT AND WE VOTED ON THAT ONE PERSON OR ENTITY.
MADAM MAYOR? BY NO MEANS. I'M TRYING TO BAD MOUTH WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, BUT BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN EVALUATING THESE PROPOSALS, I CAN'T SAY THAT, THAT WE'VE BEEN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN TERMS OF THE OUTCOME AND, AND YOU KNOW, CASE IN POINT, THOSE THAT, THAT TWO STORY YOU KNOW, YEAH, THE BATHROOMS I MEAN, IT'S EITHER THE, THE, THE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS OR THE DESIGN SHORTCOMINGS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
AND SO IN THESE PUBLIC FACING YOU KNOW PROJECTS.
TRULY OUR GOAL AS A TEAM IS TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY AND LEAVE THE COMMUNITY WITH A, WITH A, WITH A MONUMENT THAT'S GOING TO STAY AND IMPROVE THAT AREA FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST, WE HAVE NOT BEEN THAT SUCCESSFUL IN ACCOMPLISHING THAT.
WE BUILT A LOT OF STRONG BUILDINGS, YOU KNOW, CAT FIVE AND STRONG BUILDINGS, BUT THEY REALLY DO NOT ADD TO THE, TO THE, TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY THAT THEY'RE IN.
AND SO IN THIS PROCESS, WE REALLY WANTED TO ENCOURAGE THE CREATIVITY AND, AND BRING THAT TO THE BECAUSE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THOSE OTHER ELEMENTS ARE PRETTY STANDARD, YOU KNOW, BASKETBALL COURT, TENNIS COURT YOU KNOW, WALKING TRAILS AND, BUT WE WANT TO BRING THESE PROPOSALS TO, TO, TO YOU SO THAT YOU CAN REPRESENT THE CONSTITUENCY THAT, THAT YOU HAVE TO, TO PICK THE MOST CREATIVE AND, AND APPROPRIATE DESIGN FOR, FOR THAT AREA.
WELL, I'M, I'M SORRY, YOU CANNOT SAY YOU CAN'T MAKE FUNDING A PART OF THIS PROJECT WHEN THIS FUNDING WAS BASED ON WHAT THE APPLICANTS HAD TO GIVE US THIS CREATIVE PROJECT ON WHICH FUNDING NUMBERS CAN CREATE SOME STIFLING TO SOME CREATIVITY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE IT. ALSO, WHAT I DON'T SEE IN HERE, OBVIOUSLY THE COST OF THE PROJECT AS IS, IF THAT DESIGN FITS YOUR CRITERIA OF THAT YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY, IF THAT DESIGN, WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, THAT RENDERING FITS YOUR, YOUR VISION FOR THAT COMMUNITY, THAT, THAT COST YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY FITS THE BUDGET.
BUT, BUT THAT YOU CAN'T TELL TO PEOPLE WHO PREPARED AND SUPPLIED A BID.
MY CONCERN ON SOME OF THIS IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS THESE BUILDINGS ARE.
WE HAVE NO DISCUSSION ON MAINTENANCE. RIGHT? THERE ARE CERTAIN MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, SECURITY REQUIREMENTS, SOME LIABILITY REQUIREMENTS. ALL OF THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN THE RFP IN TERMS OF THE SECURITY AND BUT BUT NO, I MEAN, FOR THE ONGOING. WE DON'T JUST PICK A BUILDING LIKE WE DISCUSSED THOSE TWO IN OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS THAT THAT YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR THIS BUILDING TO BE PROGRAMED, MAINTAINED, STAFFED AND OPERATED.
[03:15:03]
TODAY. RIGHT? SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY FOCUSED ON THE THE VENDOR SELECTION.BUT YOU KNOW WHY? ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I THINK WE'RE SOME SHORT SIGHTED ON SOME OF OUR PAST PROJECTS IS BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY FOCUSED ON ONE LITTLE THING. IF WE DON'T FOCUS ON THE WHOLE ENTIRE PICTURE, THEN WE CAN'T ACTUALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT BY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY AND EVERYTHING THAT'S INCLUDED IN IT.
I. UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A DESIRE TO GET CERTAIN THINGS DONE QUICKLY, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT SOMETIMES YOU GO TOO FAST AND YOU WIND UP MISSING THE LANE. YOU VEER RIGHT OFF THE ROAD.
AND. I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW, MAYBE MORE.
AND THEN IT'S STILL, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE RUSHING ON THE PROJECT, YOU GUYS ARE RUSHING ON THE PROJECT AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE'RE HIT WITH MONDAY, WE'RE HAVING A MEETING, AND IN THIS MEETING, WE GET TO GIVE THEM 15 MINUTES TO TALK TO, TO TELL US. AND THEN WE GOT A FEW MINUTES FOR US TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS BACK.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT TO QUICKLY MAKE A DECISION.
THOSE DON'T ADD FOR GOOD DECISION MAKING. IF I TOLD YOU A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT IT WOULD TAKE FIVE YEARS FOR US TO BUILD A COMMUNITY CENTER, THEN YOU WOULD BE MAD AT ME BACK. NO, IT'S KIND OF REALISTIC.
AND AND. IT DOESN'T DO THE SERVICE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO JUSTICE, IN MY OPINION.
AND WE'RE ALL HERE TO, TO, TO ASSIST YOU KNOW, WITH THE WITH THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE OR DO ANYTHING THE THE COMMISSION DESIRES.
I'M BACK AGAIN TO THE. HAVING TO NARROW IT DOWN IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS.
WHILE YOU SAY IT'S FULLY FUNDING, I, I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THE MONEY WE'VE GOT FOR THIS FUNDED ALONG WITH SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT NEED TO BE GOING TO OUR WATER PARK, OUR WATER PLANT, A WATER TREATMENT PLANT. WHILE THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WILL HAPPEN, I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAS TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN TELLING OUR COMMUNITY FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAS BEEN IN DESIGN BUILD. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE $25 MILLION, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY BE APPROACHING $50 MILLION WHEN HERE WE HAVE AT LEAST $12 MILLION TO POSSIBLY $14 MILLION IS OUR HIGH FOR THIS PROJECT CAN GO TOWARDS THAT WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND WE CAN BE TAKING CARE OF THE ENTIRE CITY RIGHT NOW WHERE THIS COULD BE REFUNDED AND FUNDED IN A COUPLE QUARTERS YEARS DOWN.
I CAN BE CORRECTED, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THESE THESE DOLLARS CAN BE USED FOR THE WATER TREATMENT FACILITIES AS THAT BEING UTILITY ENTERPRISE. SO THOSE, THOSE WATER TREATMENT PLANT NEEDS TO BE FUNDED BY UTILITY RATES AND UTILITY REVENUES. I'M GOING TO KEEP MY COMMENTS TO MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
COMMISSIONER DANIEL, MOVE TO THE NEXT. NO IT'S OKAY.
I THINK YOU SAID TWO YEARS, BUT FOR ME, IT FELT LIKE MY WHOLE TERM HERE AND PRIOR.
SO IT'S NOT TWO YEARS. THAT BEING SAID, I THINK, RESPECTFULLY, THE COMMISSIONER OF THAT DISTRICT, IF SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING IN WOODLAWN DISTRICT FOUR, I WOULD LIKE MY VOICE TO BE HEARD.
I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT MY COMMUNITY THINK, THINKS, AND WANT SO RESPECTFULLY, I WOULD RESPECT THE COMMISSIONER OF THAT COMMUNITY TO VOICE WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS FOUGHT FOR AND WANTED FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, PROBABLY ALMOST A DECADE.
YOU THINK THAT'S WHY? I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING.
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONER, BUT THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I DID HAVE, BACK TO WHAT I WAS ASKING EARLIER, IS I'M OKAY WITH THE WITH THE PROCESS.
I JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND TODAY'S PROCEDURE, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING FOR OUT OF US AND HOW DO WE GET THERE? SO I MEAN, AGAIN, I SEE BUILDERS HERE. WE HAD A CLOSED SESSION MEETING, SO I'M NOT CLEAR ON WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE GET TO THE THE, THE DESIRED POINT.
[03:20:09]
THE AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION FOR WEDNESDAY'S MEETING.AND, AND YOU KNOW, AND THEN SO JUST TO GET DOWN TO ONE NAME ONE, THAT'S WHY I FIGURED IF WE CAN NARROW IT DOWN TO THREE, WE CAN THEN NARROW DOWN TO ONE. BUT IF YOU GUYS JUST WANT TO GIVE ME ONE, THAT'S FINE.
BUT I THINK IT'LL BE A LONGER PROCESS AND JUST KEEPING ONE THING IN MIND.
AGAIN, IT'S NOT AGAINST THE COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN WITHOUT A CLUBHOUSE SINCE 2015.
IT'S BEEN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR THEM FOR THAT TIME.
IT'S NOT ANYTHING AGAINST THE COMMUNITY, BUT COMMISSIONER VICE MAYOR HAS TO HAS TO SHARE.
WHAT IF THERE'S ONE HE NEEDS TO HELP US. SO IN THE FIRST THREE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. SO NOT JUST SHAKER VILLAGE.
YEAH, THE COMMUNITY AND HIS DISTRICT. YEAH, ACROSS THE STREET.
I LIVE THERE. YEAH. BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THE SAME THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE LEAVE BEHIND A MONUMENT YOU KNOW, FOR THE ENTIRE CITY TO, TO, TO APPRECIATE. UNDERSTOOD, TRULY UNDERSTOOD.
BUT WE ALSO, LET'S BE REALISTIC. THIS HAS BEEN A SPECIFIC ISSUE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BRING THAT SORE OPEN, OKAY.
IT'S DEALING WITH IT, BUT MY COMMENTARY IS FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY AS BEING SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T NEED TO JUMP THE LINE. I'VE SAID THIS ALL ALONG. THE ACTUAL COMMUNITY SPECIFIC HAS BEEN WITHOUT A SPECIFIC CLUBHOUSE SINCE 2015.
I'M TALKING ABOUT A BIGGER PURPOSE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES THE COMMUNITIES REGARDING SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT AND NEEDS FUNDING. BUT ANYWHO, WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE.
I'VE MADE MY COMMENTS AND IF NOBODY WANTS, WE NEED TO NARROW IT DOWN.
AND IF WE DON'T NARROW IT DOWN, WE'RE NOT BRINGING THIS TO VOTE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR. PLEASE HELP US. GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS.
SO FOR ME NOT NARROWING IT DOWN, I WOULD AUTOMATICALLY ELIMINATE THE HIGHEST BIDDER NUMBER.
SO I TAKE I MEAN, DO WE ALL HAVE THE SUBMISSION SUMMARY SHEET? YEAH. OKAY. SO I'LL TAKE THAT ONE OUT FIRST. SECOND ONE THAT I WOULD TAKE OUT IS I THINK PROMETHEAN BUILDERS WAS THAT, WAS THAT THE GUY THAT TALKED ABOUT MIAMI UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI? YEAH. OKAY. SO I'LL TAKE THAT ONE OUT. AND THEN RECREATION DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. I'LL TAKE THAT ONE OUT AS WELL.
SO I'M JUST GOING ON THE LINE OF THE WAY. IT'S ON MY SHEET.
LEAVING INTO POMPANO. POMPEO IT LEAVES IN BURKE.
IT LEAVES IN GULF AND IT LEAVES IN EU. DO I HAVE THAT CORRECT? YEAH. BURKE GOLF, RECREATIONAL EU. OKAY. THANK YOU.
I'M GOING BASED ON THE SUMMARY SHEET. ALL RIGHT.
NEXT UP COMMISSIONER. RIGHT. MY FIRST CHOICE WAS BURKE.
THE NICE BUILDING. LOTS OF EXPERIENCE. LIKE THE SWINGS.
THERE'S A NICE GRASS, THERE'S A UNIQUE DESIGN.
IT KIND OF FITS THE COMMUNITY. IT'S IT MEANS A THOROUGHFARE LOOKS MODERN.
AND ONE OF THE REASONS I VOTED FOR THE PROJECT WAS TO GET RID OF THE BLIGHT.
SO I THINK IT ADDS TO OUR MAIN THOROUGHFARE THAT THEY'RE DESIGNED.
SO IT WOULD BE MY FIRST CHOICE. MY SECOND WOULD BE MY SECOND WOULD HAVE BEEN SORRY.
MY SECOND WOULD BE GOLF. GOLF. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A NICE BUILDING.
IT'S COLORFUL. NICE BASKETBALL COURT. ONE THING I LIKE IS LOTS OF WALLS.
[03:25:03]
THEY'RE GOING TO USE LOCAL CONTRACTORS. I DIDN'T LIKE THE FENCE AROUND THE COMMUNITY. IT KIND OF ISOLATE THE COMMUNITY BEHIND. SO I DID NOT LIKE THAT FENCE. AND MY THIRD CHOICE WOULD BE THE POMPEO. I WASN'T A BIG FAN OF THE BUILDING.I THINK THE BUILDING IS KIND OF OLD SCHOOL. THAT NICE HEDGES.
LOCAL CONTRACTORS. YEP. THOSE ARE MY, MY, MY TOP THREE.
OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. PATTERSON. SO I WENT IN ORDER OF THE PRESENTATION.
I GUESS THE SUMMER YOU GUYS GAVE US IS NOT IN THE SAME ORDER, SO I DON'T KNOW THE NAMES.
I JUST KNOW THE THE GROUP THAT WENT THIRD. YOU.
YES. IS THAT YOUR FIRST OR IS IT. NO, I'M JUST GIVING.
YES. YOU. I LIKE THE THIRD GROUP. I LIKE THE FOURTH GROUP.
WHO WAS THE FOURTH GROUP? GOLF. GOLF. OKAY. THAT WAS A COLORFUL ONE, RIGHT? NUMBER FOUR WAS THE ONE THAT HAD A LOT OF VIBRANT COLORS.
WAS THAT. YEAH. THAT AND. AND I LIKE NUMBER SIX.
OKAY. COMMISSIONER. DANIEL. SO WHY DIDN'T THEY ALL GIVE US HANDOUTS? IT WAS THEIR CHOICE MOST OF THEM DID. SOME OF THEM DID, SOME DIDN'T.
BECAUSE. AND IF HE COULDN'T GIVE US HANDOUTS, I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, THAT'S.
YEAH, I DO, BECAUSE. THAT'S THE LEAST. FORGIVE ME.
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY. SO I WOULD GO. I DID LIKE THE GUY, THE PROFESSOR.
I THINK HE PUT A LOT OF LOVE IN HIS STUFF. THE PROFESSOR IS THAT PROMETHEAN PROFESSOR.
I DID LIKE THE PROFESSOR. OKAY, SO IS THIS. AND YOU'RE GIVING ME AN ORDER, OR ARE YOU GIVING ME.
IS THAT YOUR FIRST CHOICE OR IS THAT YOUR. I LIKE THE PROFESSOR.
I LIKE I THINK HIS, YOU KNOW. OKAY, ALL JOKES ASIDE, I THINK HIS.
YES. OKAY. SO THE PROFESSOR AND I THINK THIS PROMETHEAN LEAVE ME ALONE.
I THINK THIS MARLON. VICE MAYOR LEAVE HER BE.
AND THIS IS WHY I'M GOING TO SAY THAT I THINK HIS.
AND THIS ONE KIND OF GOES WITH THE FEEL OF THE COMMUNITY, AND I DON'T KNOW, I WILL I DID SAY I WILL LISTEN TO WHATEVER THE DISTRICT ONE PERSON HAS TO SAY. SO THOSE WERE THE TWO THAT I FELT. THE BRIGHT COLOR ONE I IT DOESN'T FIT.
I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT FITS AT ALL. YOU'RE NOT.
AND I DID LIKE THE EXPENSIVE ONE YOU DID OR DID NOT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS, BUT AJ IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE.
I DID LIKE THAT ONE. YOU DID LIKE THAT ONE. BUT I KNOW IT'S EXPENSIVE.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY NUMBER. THREE IS 12, 125.
ALEXANDRA I GAVE THREE, BUT THE EXPENSIVE ONE I KNOW BECAUSE OF COST THAT IS UNKNOWN.
SO THAT'S MY THIRD. BUT I DID LIKE IT. THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE.
THE FIRST. YEAH. OKAY, SO YOU HAVE PROMETHEAN E, YOU AND AJ OR ALEXANDER JOHNSON, I DON'T KNOW.
IT SAYS DESIGN PROPOSED BY. YEAH, THAT'S YOU.
BUT THIS ONE IS THE EXPENSIVE ONE. PROFESSOR.
OKAY. AND THEY GAVE ME AND THE PROFESSOR ME THAT THEY GAVE ME THINGS.
YEAH, HE DID AN AWESOME JOB. TO BE HONEST, THE FIRST ONE THE FIRST ONE IS ALEXANDER JOHNSON.
YES. THE FIRST ONE WAS NICE. APPARENTLY THIS MUST.
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS MY FIRST, THE DISTRICT PERSON DOES NOT LIKE THIS.
SO I GUESS THIS IS MY FIRST. THIS IS MY SECOND. THIS IS MY THIRD.
YEAH, BUT HE DID AN AWESOME JOB. WELL, IF ANYONE ELSE BELIEVES IN IT.
SO I'M LOOKING HERE AND I HAVE. I DON'T HAVE THE COMMISSIONERS, THE VICE MAYOR, NOR COMMISSIONER PATTERSON IN ORDER, BUT I'VE GOT THREE BIRKS, THREE GOLFS AND THREE E US. I GOT.
WHAT? NO, I GUESS I NEED TO GO TO WHICH I WAS SEEING WHAT WE HAVE HERE. WE HAVE A MESS. YOU FORGOT? I DON'T HAVE THREE FOR THOSE. I WAS TRYING TO GO BY.
[03:30:02]
NO. SO YOU MIGHT KNOW I HAVE. I ALREADY HAVE THREE.I HAPPEN TO AGREE. IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING ON SOME OF ALL THIS STUFF. I LIKED ALL THE CONCEPTS.
EVERYONE GAVE SOMETHING GOOD THAT I WOULD THAT WHICH WAS MENTIONED ABOUT PUTTING BITS AND PIECES OF EACH OF THEM, WHICH I DO FIND A LITTLE UNFAIR IN THIS PROCESS BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS EACH OF YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED HARD TO GIVE US SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE AND TRY TO BE WITHIN THE BUDGET IN WHICH IT WAS CALLED FOR.
GIVE ME A SECOND BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO. THE SECOND ONE IS.
THIS ONE IS. WAS THIS ONE. THAT ONE IS THIS IS RECREATION, RIGHT? NO. THAT'S GOLF. THIS IS GOLF.
I THINK THAT'S GOLF. OKAY. THAT WAS NUMBER FOUR.
IT'S A COLORFUL ONE, RIGHT? THIS IS. THAT'S GOLF.
OKAY. OKAY. I, I'M I'M WITH COMMISSIONER DANIEL ON ON GOLF.
I, I DON'T FEEL THAT THE BUILDING GIVES US WHAT WE NEED FOR THERE.
IT'S IT'S, IT'S NOT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.
I DON'T THINK IT FITS WELL. SO BUT IT STILL HAS THREE ON HERE, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
I LIKE THE POMPEO, I LIKE BURKE, I LIKE BURKE.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE US IT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE THE OTHER ONES TOO.
I AGREE THAT A J WAS GREAT. I LIKED THEIR STUFF.
THEY HAD SOME CREATIVITY, BUT IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.
AND I ALSO DON'T THINK I WANT US TO GO OUTSIDE OUR BUDGET AS BADLY AS ALL THAT.
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT AN EXTRA. PROGRAM HERE? SO BASICALLY IT COMES DOWN TO STILL WE HAVE BURKE, EUD POMPEO AND GOLF.
THOSE ARE THE. ONES THAT GOT THREE OR MORE. SO I'M SORRY PROMETHEAN.
I AGREE. HE ACTUALLY SAID IT TO THE TONE OF THE COMMUNITY.
BUT AND PROMETHEAN AND RECREATION DESIGN. IT'S NOT A TOP.
IT'S JUST I'M IT'S WITH POMPEO, BURKE AND POMPEO.
BURKE AND E YEAH. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
YEAH. I PERSONALLY AM NOT A FAN. NOT THAT I'M NOT A FAN.
I DON'T THINK THE GOLF ONE FITS THE COMMUNITY.
WELL. NO, NO, YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME AN ORDER. I UNDERSTAND THAT I'VE GOT YOUR ORDER.
SO YOU GOT GOLF AND POMPEO. I'VE GOT NO, I GOT I GOT BURKE FIRST.
RIGHT. BUT OKAY, SO I'VE GOT 1234 BURKE'S I'VE GOT ONE, TWO, THREE GOLFS.
I'VE GOT ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR E USE. I GOT ONE, TWO, THREE TO POMPEO'S RIGHT.
WHO AM I MISSING? PROMETHEUS A J I THINK IT'S CORRECT RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO ASK THIS QUESTION. SO JUST TAKE THE TOP TWO.
THE TOP TWO IS BURKE AND YOU WITH FOUR VOTES, RIGHT? CORRECT. YEAH. YES. BURKE WAS NUMBER. WHICH THING? BURKE. BURKE WAS OUR SIX SIX PRESENTER. OH, THEY DIDN'T GIVE US.
YEAH, THAT WAS NUMBER SIX. AND THEN I'M NOT HAPPY THAT THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME THE THING.
[03:35:10]
SO LOOKING AT NUMBERS, JUST SHARING WHAT'S ON THE PAPER.BURKE IS 11217. EU IS 45267267. WHO CAME IN THIRD TO BURKE? IT'S A TIE BETWEEN POMPEO AND GOLF.
WE HAD TWO FOURS AND TWO THREES. SO WE ONLY NEED WE ONLY NEED ONE.
SO YOU HAVE THE TOP TWO. ELIMINATE THE TWO THREES.
GO WITH THE TOP TWO. THAT'S WHY I'M GIVING YOU PRICE TAGS NOW ON BURKE AND DUPONT AND EU.
CAN I CAN I ASK A FAVOR. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO DO THIS BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
WE DON'T HAVE A PIECE OF PAPER BY BURKE. I KNOW BURKE IS HERE.
CAN WE PUT BURKE'S. OH, WELL, WE HAVE THERE. WE HAVE THE DESIGN.
WE HAVE THE LITTLE THE MODEL. WE NEED A PICTURE.
IS THERE A WAY TO PUT THE PICTURE? YEAH. PUT IT UP.
PUT IT UP THERE IF YOU WANT. CAN WE PASS IT? IT'S LOOK LIKE A CAT.
OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S THE ONE THAT HAD THE OKAY.
THAT WAS NICE. YEAH, THE DESIGN WAS REALLY NICE.
WELL, WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY THAT IS TOWNHOMES.
THIS DIDN'T DO ANY JUSTICE. Y'ALL SHOULD HAVE JUST GAVE US THE PACKAGE.
THIS IS NOT IT. I'M SORRY. IF IT WAS BASED ON THIS, IT WOULD BE A NO FOR ME.
YEAH, YEAH. BUT IF THEY STILL DON'T WANT IT, I'LL PUT IT IN MY OFFICE.
WHATEVER. BUT NO, THE PICTURE. THE PICTURE WAS WAY BETTER THAN THAT.
SO. DID THEY HAVE. IS THERE ANY WAY TO HAVE ONE SIDE FOR ONE PROJECT, ONE SIDE FOR ANOTHER? OR AM I GOING TO HAVE IT REALLY LIKE THE GUY WITH THE LONG HAIR.
ONE OF MINE IS UP THERE. SO YOU KNOW MY VOTE.
I DIDN'T VOTE AT ALL. OKAY. DID THEY EVER DID THEY HAVE A VIDEO? YEAH. CAN YOU JUST PLAY? HERE'S A SIDE BY SIDE.
GO AHEAD. CAN YOU JUST PLAY EACH OF THE VIDEOS? YEAH. YES, SIR.
[03:40:14]
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO IT.LOOKS LIKE CALLING THE WEST WHEN YOU WALK INSIDE.
YEAH, I LIKE THAT PICTURE. LOOKS LIKE CALLING. YEAH.
THEY DON'T HAVE A VIDEO? NO, THERE'S NO VIDEO HE'S TRYING TO GET TO.
HE'S WORKING ON PULLING IT UP. IS HE HERE? NO.
BUT UNLESS IT'S INAPPROPRIATE. 9:00 IN THE MORNING.
NO. THEY WERE HERE AT 1111. BUT WE ALSO HAVE THEIR PACKET.
SO I DON'T IF YOU FLIP IT REAL QUICK, YOU CAN PRETEND YOU'RE WATCHING A VIDEO.
I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T REQUEST TO SEE VIDEOS. OKAY.
SO IF WE'RE GOOD, WE CAN MOVE ON UNLESS YOU FOUND THE VIDEO QUICKLY.
JIM, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO FIND? VIDEOS. YEAH, IT OPENED UP TO YOUTUBE. ON YOUTUBE.
YEAH, IT WAS ON YOUTUBE. THEY PULLED IT. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER.
DON'T MIND US. WE GET A LITTLE SLAP HAPPY AFTER BEING HERE FOR A BIT.
HOW ARE YOU GOING THERE? THAT'S WHAT I SAID. LET'S BE REALISTIC.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, RIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE CALHOUN.
YEAH. HAVE YOU BEEN TO CALHOUN? YEAH. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? YEAH. RIGHT.
WELL, THOSE ARE ALL CONVERSATIONS TO BE HAD WHEN THERE'S.
YEAH. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO ADD A BASKETBALL AND BASKETBALL COVERING OVER THE 1 MILLION PLUS.
[03:45:09]
I WANT TO KNOW IF THE TOP OF THE BUILDING HAS LIKE AC UNITS.NO. SO BECAUSE MAYBE UPSTAIRS CAN BE LIKE A LIKE A ROOFTOP.
I WAS THINKING THAT I HAD ASKED ABOUT THAT. NO, I'M JUST SAYING WE CAN JUST ADD A.
IT'S A FLAT LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY BUILDING SPAN APPROXIMATELY 10,000FT².
THERE IS COMMON LOBBY SPACES FOR LOUNGE, CLASSROOM AND AN EMPLOYEE BREAK ROOM.
THE SECURE RECEPTION AREA FEATURES BULLET RESISTANT WALLS AND BULLETPROOF TRANSACTION WINDOWS.
A BSO SUBSTATION IS PART OF THE PLAN WITH BULLET RESISTANT FEATURES.
WE INCLUDED ELECTRIC ROOM, IT DATA AND TWO STORAGE ROOMS. ADA COMPLIANT RESTROOMS ARE INCLUDED, ACCESSIBLE FROM THE PARK WITH SEPARATE INTERIOR RESTROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR FOR ASSEMBLY SPACES.
TWO RENTABLE FLEX ROOMS CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 150 GUESTS FEATURING A FOLDING WALL SYSTEM.
I THINK DO WE? WE HAVE IT. WE'RE GOOD, WE'RE GOOD.
WE GOT THE GENERAL GIST OF THIS BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING PEOPLE TO BATHROOM BREAKS.
WE'RE LOSING PEOPLE TO THEIR PHONES. WE'RE LOSING PEOPLE TO HAVE MEETINGS TO GO TO.
SORRY. BOTTOM LINE COMES DOWN, COMES DOWN TO WE'VE GOT YOU.
AND I'M GOING TO SAY THE PRICE JUST BASED ON WHAT IS ON OUR SHEET HERE.
EU INTERNATIONAL AT 12,452,600 $267, AND WE'VE GOT BOURKE AT $11,000,217. AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT WAS $9.8 MILLION.
OKAY. OH, GOD. YOU DIDN'T NEED TO PUT THAT PICTURE UP, BUT.
SORRY. PHOTOS. I THINK WE JUST ADVANCED THE TOP TWO.
WE HAVE TO MAKE A VOTE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. YEAH, WE JUST ADVANCED THE TOP TWO TO THE NEXT MEETING, AND IT GIVES US TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT AND. YEAH.
OKAY. SO I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT EXACTLY WHAT COMMISSIONER PATTERSON SAID. SO I'M, I'M, I LIKE BOTH THE PROPOSALS.
I LIKE BURKE AND, AND YOU BUT I PARTICULARLY WANT TO ASK SOME RESIDENTS WHICH ONE THEY PREFER.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE US UNTIL WEDNESDAY TO PUT THE NAME IN SO I CAN TALK TO A COUPLE OF COMMUNITY PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT THEY THEY BELIEVE. BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU WHAT'S HIS NAME? AKRAM. OKAY. CAN YOU TELL ME IF THE TOP OF YOUR BUILDING DOES IT HAVE AC UNITS OR IS IT JUST LIKE A OPEN SPACE WHERE, WHERE WE CAN TURN IT INTO A ROOFTOP KIND OF VIBE? YES WE HAVE, WE WILL HAVE ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT OVER THERE.
BUT WE CAN ALLOCATE, I CAN SAY 80% OF THE ROOF FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. ALSO, I CAN USE SPLIT UNITS.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY EQUIPMENT ON THE ROOFTOP.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE ALL MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE BUILDING AND ROOFTOP IS JUST FOR THE RECREATIONAL DECK, I CAN SERVE THAT TOO. I CAN DO THIS. ALSO. WOULD WOULD THAT INCREASE THE COST IF WE WANTED TO ADD LIKE A BALCONY AROUND SO AND A STAIRCASE TO GO UP THERE SO THAT IT WILL IT WILL DEFINITELY INCREASE THE COST.
WE ALSO NEED TO DO RAILINGS TO PROBABLY GLASS RAILINGS OR SOMETHING TO FIT IN THIS PROJECT AROUND THE ROOFTOP LEVEL FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE FALL PROTECTION. AND SINCE THERE IS NO ROOF ON THE THIRD FLOOR, WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE ANY SPRINKLER UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO SOME COVERAGE OVER THERE, EVEN OPEN AND CLOSE. WE NEED TO DISCUSS THIS ONE, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO ADD A PRICE.
WOULD IT WOULD IT IMPACT THE PRICE A LOT OR JUST A FEW DOLLARS NOT HOLDING YOU TO THE COST?
[03:50:04]
BUT I'M JUST SAYING IT WILL BE PROBABLY IN MY OPINION, THE BUILDING PORTION ONLY WILL BE ABOUT 15% MORE.OH. SO THAT'S 15% FOR US 14 200. NO, NOT 14. JUST JUST THE BUILDING PORTION.
IT HAS A 2.8 6,000,001.8. OKAY. NO, NO, IT'S ABOUT BUILDING.
IT'S 6.2 MILLION OR SOMETHING. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
IT'S ABOUT A MILLION. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT'S A MILLION VERSUS 1.8.
IT'S STILL OKAY FOR THE FUTURE, A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
WHAT'S HIS NAME AGAIN? I. FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
COULD YOU BUILD IT IN SUCH A WAY WHERE THERE COULD BE A STAIRCASE TO GO TO THE TOP OF THE BUILDING? SO IF WE WANTED TO DO AN ADDITION IN THE FUTURE, YOU COULD DO THAT AND THE COST WOULD NOT BE ELEVATED.
THE ELEVATOR WILL BE THE SAME. THEN WE HAVE TWO LANDINGS.
STAIRS WILL BE THE SAME. I WILL JUST PREPARE THE STRUCTURE FOR FUTURE ROOFTOP ACCESS.
AND YOU ARE RIGHT. WE CAN LEAVE THE BUILDING IN THAT CONDITION TOO.
AND THAT COST IS LET'S SAY LESS ELEVATOR. AND WE DON'T NEED TO DO ANY RAILING.
I CAN SAY ABOUT 7% SOMETHING. OKAY. LOOK AT YOU.
LOOK AT YOUR NUMBERS BETWEEN TODAY AND WEDNESDAY.
I DON'T THINK I WANT TO MAKE A DECISION TODAY.
I THINK I WANT TO THINK ABOUT BURKE AND AND YOUR PROPOSAL AND I JUST LIKE TO, TO HAVE THE INPUT OF THE RESIDENTS TO KIND OF MAKE THE DECISION.
IT'S A, IT'S A BIG DECISION. AND I WANT TO BE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND, I MEAN, IT'S A TIE FOR ME, FOR BOTH OF THEM. SO. OKAY, SO I HAVE CONSENSUS BY THE COMMISSION THAT BURKE AND EU WILL GO OVER UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND DECISION IS SCHEDULED TO MAYBE BE MADE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR FOR PARTICIPATING IN GIVING US YOUR DESIGNS.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WE'RE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
