Steven Alexander, City Manager
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with the
Corradino Group for the creation of the Complete Streets Policy and
Design Standards Manual.
This Complete Streets Policy & Design Manual (Project) is part of a
continuing effort to enhance the transportation system and mobility
choices for the residents and visitors to the City of South Miami, The
Project aims to enhance the pedestrian network of sidewalks, crossings,
roadway improvements, shared use (bike-ped) facilities, and
neighborhood greenways throughout the City, connecting residential
areas wtth downtown shopping and dining, transit facilities (Metrorail and
BRT) and M-Path. A main priority of this Project is to provide a safer
environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and residents by through
infrastrLlcture improvements and education. This Project aims to build
upon the results of the South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan
(SMITP) completed in early 2015 with a focus on pedestrian safety and
mobility.
While the SMITP provides a general framework of the City's mobility in
terms of walking, biking, transit, and driving with specific street types, it
does not put the policies in place to ensure future developments adhere
to complete streets principles. This Project is intended to provide specific
recommendations to update and amend the existing Land Development
Code (zoning code) to implement smart growth, a Complete Streets
Policy, and where necessary, the City's comprehensive plan will be
updated to address these policy guidelines. The Complete Street Policy
measures would be required of all new development and redevelopment
projects, where applicable.
The City is looking to evaluate the multi-modal transportation system as it
pertains to the Complete Streets Program. Once the Transportation
Network has been evaluated and graded, a manual of standards for how,
where, when and the frequency that various improvements should be
made will be outlined. Further, specific policies and procedures are
needed to incorporating the recommendations into the Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code. Finally, specific recommendation for mapping and
pricing of multi-modal improvements will be needed.

INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
Over the past decade, interest in urban redevelopment and downtown revitalization has begun
to dramatically change the form of South Miami and surrounding areas. Changes in traditional
land uses, architecture and the desire for intermodal transportation improvements are helping
to shape the character of the City.
The City of South Miami, located in Metropolitan Miami-Dade County is a full service municipal
government. The City is approximately 2.5 square miles with 46 miles of roads and 13,000
permanent residents. The City, located between SW 40th Street, SW 88th Street, SW 57th
Avenue and SW 69th Avenue, is adjacent to the City of Coral Gables, the Village of Pinecrest
and Unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The City is home to two regional medical centers,
South Miami Hospital and Larkin Hospital, a thriving downtown shopping district and a
Metrorail station.
The City enjoys a diverse population of residents, businesses, students, and civic organizations
that are actively involved in community planning to varying degrees. The Green Task Force, a
resident advisory committee, works in close association with the City Commission on
sustainability and transportation issues, recommending strategies, policies and initiatives. The
Green Task Force has identified as one of its main initiatives, to make the City a safe and
pleasant place for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers, as well as improve multi-modal
transportation options. Residents created a petition (with over one thousand signatures)
urging elected officials to make South Miami more bicycle and pedestrian friendly, and as a
result, the City Commission passed a resolution recognizing the importance of bicycling in
transportation and recreation for the betterment of the residents and the environment. In
response to recommendations by the Green Task Force, the City installed bike racks in the
downtown area and began a tree planting initiative to shade sidewalks and decrease traffic
speeds.
In FY 2013, the City approved the funding of South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan
(SMITP) using a combination of PTP and MPO funds. The Plan was completed in early 2015
and implementation funds were allocated during the FY 2015 budget cycle.
While the SMITP provides a general framework of the City's mobility in terms of walking,
biking, transit, and driving with specific street types, it does not put the policies in place to
ensure future developments adhere to complete streets principles.
This Complete Streets Policy & Design Manual (Project) is part of a continuing effort to enhance
the transportation system and mobility choices for the residents and visitors to the City of
South Miami. The Project aims to enhance the pedestrian network of sidewalks, crossings,
roadway improvements, shared use (bike-ped) facilities, and neighborhood greenways
throughout the City, connecting residential areas with downtown shopping and dining, transit

facilities (Metrorail and BRT) and M-Path. A main priority of this Project is to provide a safer
environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and residents by through infrastructure improvements
and education. This Project aims to build upon the results of the SMITP scheduled to be
completed in early 2015 with a focus on pedestrian safety and mobility.
APPROACH & OBJECTIVES
The approach entails soliciting public involvement to develop policies that would implement the
City's efforts to enhance its transportation system and mobility choices for residents and
visitors. Complete street policies involve the integration of all aspects of mobility, including
vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit.
Specifically, this Project has the following objectives:
I) Develop Complete Streets Design Standards Manual
2) Create grading system for the level of services for each mode of transportation
(pedestrian, bike, automobile, transit), define and grade City's Transportation Network
3) Make recommendations for complete streets policies and procedures to incorporate
into Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
4) Make recommendations for specific improvements on the City's Transportation
Network. The multidisciplinary approach will look at how to integrate development
requirements that focus on:
• Pedestrian accommodations such as wider sidewalks; traditional and raised
crosswalks; median crossing islands and sidewalk bump-outs
• T rafflc calming measures such as lowering speeds of automobiles and defining the
edges of automobile travel lanes, including center medians, shorter curb corner
radii, elimination of free-flow right-turn lanes, and installation of street trees.

GOALS
The goals of the City are to achieve meaningful physical improvement in the form of complete
streets, which will serve as an economic development tool for achieving long-term community
sustainability. Instituting a complete streets policy ensures that transportation planners and
engineers consistently design and operate the entire roadway with all users in mind -including
bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and riders, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities,
increasing access to physical activity opportunities for all users.

RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
City of South Miami staff will manage all aspects of the project with the majority of technical
work performed by the selected consultant.
PROJECT AND KEY TASKS
This Project is intended to provide specific recommendations to update and amend the existing
Land Development Code (zoning code) to implement smart growth, a Complete Streets Policy,
and where necessary, the City's comprehensive plan will be updated to address these policy
guidelines. The Complete Street Policy measures would be required of all new development
and redevelopment projects, where applicable.
The City is looking to evaluate the multi-modal transportation system as it pertains to the
Complete Streets Program. Once the Transportation Network has been evaluated and graded,
a manual of standards for how, where, when and the frequency that various improvements
should be made will be outlined. Further, specific policies and procedures are needed to
incorporating the recommendations into the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. Finally,
specific recommendation for mapping and pricing of multi-modal improvements will be needed.
The Project will be accomplished through the following:
I) Data Collection
2) Civic Engagement
3) Policies, Procedures and Design Standards Manual
4) Analysis I Needs Assessment
I) Data Collection
Review and evaluate all pertinent background data I information relevant to the project. This
includes a review of previously completed plans and studies, such as the 2015 South Miami
Intermodal Transportation Plan (SMITP), Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Codes, and related goals, objectives and policies,
as well as the County's Unified Planning Work Program, with the intent of adopting Complete
Street Policies with an emphasis on safety. Review existing conditions and propose
improvements as identified in SMITP. Create a grading system, define the City's Transportation
Network. and evaluate level of service for each mode (bike, pedestrian, transit, automobile) on
the City's Transportation Network.
2) Civic Engagement
The project shall be conducted in a meaningful, transparent and collaborative atmosphere, with
public participation of the stakeholders shall be integrated into the process. Stakeholder shall

existing deficiencies throughout the City. Specifically, this task shall include development of a
comprehensive regulatory framework to implement Complete Streets Design Guidelines
Manual for adoption. The following items shall be updated:
A) An independent separate Complete Streets Design Standards Manual (Manual) will be
prepared to provide guidance to staff and citizens and developers on design tools and
methodologies for ensuring City roads and future development address safe access for all users.
The Manual shall be consistent with the goals of the SMITP and support the recommended
projects that encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation, reducing dependence
on the private automobile. The Manual will establish standards or guidelines to implement the
City's adopted Complete Streets Policy. The Manual will take into account existing city design
guidelines and standards.
B) Provide policy recommendations to enhance safe access for all users, including pedestrians,
bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities, that fit within the context of the
City of South Miami. The City's Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan, and Land
Development Code should be updated to include Complete Streets Policy to enhance safety
and mobility and reference the adopted Manual.
C) Provide innovative and traditional funding recommendations for implementation of both CIP
improvements and enforcement mechanisms for new (re)development.
4) Analysis / Needs Assessment
This task uses the information obtained through data collection, existing conditions and public
outreach effort to identify the key design and operational issues, to enable safe access for all
users including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. The
analysis will focus on issues such as gaps/barriers, origins/destinations, connectivity and safety
and shall be based on projection of future conditions in the City. Specific recommendations of

RE: South Miami Complete Streets RFQ #PL2015-15, (Scope of Services, Cost, Time Line)
Ms. Korth,
p
We understand the City is looking to evaluate the transportation system and its ability to be multimodal.
Doing this will entail an assessment of vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian and transit levels of service. A
menu of multimodal options will be suggested in the bicycle, pedestrian and transit categories. Public
engagement in the form of stakeholders meetings and public workshops will be held to understand the
vision of the community and develop policies. The menu of alternatives will be used to create specific
projects that will fill the gaps in the system and convert poorly ranked facilities into facilities that meet
the service standards suggested in the policies. A method by which these projects can be implemented
as part of development applications will be examined. Finally, a "policy and design manual" will be
created detailing all of the above and the requirements each typical project would nave relative to need,
placement and actual design.
The results of this project will be to update the Comprehensive Plan by adding a Compete Streets
Objective and Policies to the Transportation Element., Subsequently the land Development Regulations
will implement these Comprehensive Plan Policies with specific recommendations. Ultimately these
Complete Street Policy measures would be required of all new development and redevelopment
projects, where applicable.
This scope of service can be completed in 5 months for a cost of $55,000 and $5,000 for a contingency.
The Project will be accomplished through the following tasks:
1) Civic Engagement
2) Review of Previous Studies
3) Data Collection
4) Analysis/Needs Assessment
5) Project Development
6) Policies, Procedures and DeSign Manual
7) Funding
RADI UP
Task 1: Civic Engagement
Under Corradino's approach, this task it the most critical in the entire project. From here the policy
recommendations will come. Completing this correctly, builds consensus, eases implementation and
takes pressure off of the neighbors, staff and elected officials. In this task an outreach program will be
scheduled, including internal meetings, interaction with the public in stakeholders meetings and a public
workshop. The report will be presented and approved at a public hearing with the City Council.
Additionally a web-based social media strategy will be employed so that a broader spectrum of the
public can interact and contribute on their time and at their convenience. Both, engaging the public and
incorporating public input is a multi-level process that takes place consistently throughout the duration
of the plan development. In doing so, ensuring the participation of the public will facilitate the
implementation of the proposed projects, and result in a plan that is uniquely tailored to the specific
needs of the city.
Civic Engagement will be ongoing throughout the project in a variety of individual tasks.
Task 1.1 Project Kickoff / Project Management
Corradino will meet with City's project management team to formalize the scope of services, schedule,
and deliverables. Formal progress meetings are recommended to be held at the kickoff of each
individual task to confirm the work to be done and its timings, and at the conclusion of each indiVidual
task to finalize the work completed.
Task 1.2 Stakeholders / Outreach Meetings
Corradino will meet with a number of stakeholders during this process. This interaction will be in one on
one meetings or in small groups. These meetings will bewith business owners, Citizens, community
leaders, the Green Task Force, staff and elected officials. The goal is that everyone will understand the
same set of facts, and there be no erroneous information in the system. This is important as
misinformation can frequently be used as a distraction to derailprogressive efforts.
Task 1.3: Workshop
Subsequent to the Stakeholders meetings and as recommendations are being created, a formal public
workshop will be held.
Task 1.4: Public Hearings
The public involvement portion of the project will culminate by presenting the draft report to the
project management team for edits, then taking the final report to the City Commission for approval.
The Implementation Strategy task will then be completed, and a report submitted detailing the
prioritized recommendations. Meetings will be held with the appropriate city board or committee
(Planning and Zoning, Green Committee, ERPB, Etc.) and finally the City Council.
Task 2: Review of Previous Studies
This task will review and evaluate all pertinent background data and information relevant to the project,
including:
• Miami-Dade MPO TIP, LRTP and UPWP
• 2015 South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan (SMITP),
• Capital Improvement Plan (CIP),
• City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Codes, and related goals, objectives and
policies,
• Other national examples of design manuals.
• Other research relative to best practices
All planned projects will be categorized by type and responsible entity and mapped on a GIS database.
Task 3: Data Collection
In this task a grading system of bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities will be developed. This task will
consist offormal collection of traditional data such as the location, condition and level of service of
existing faCilities, including roads, bike and pedestrian facilities and transit routes. First an agreed upon
street network will be defined with the City. Then, on-site evaluation will be needed to collect Level of
Service Data. Level of Service is calculated differently for vehicles than it is for other modes. Vehicular
or roadway level of service is a quantitative measure, assessed on how many vehicles can pass a certain
point in a certain period oftime.Bicycie a·nd pedestrian level of service is qualitative, focused on if, how
and at what quality facilities are provided. Traffic Counts are used to collect vehicular level of service,
while personal assessment of facilities is used to collect bicycle, pedestrian and transit level of service.
The agreed upon network of roads will have level of service assessed for each mode. This will be
presented in tabularform. All data will be mapped via Geographic Information System (GIS). Quality
data and accurate level of service is the foundation on which this projects recommendations will be
built. Data Collection will include:
Task 3.1: Grading System
Here, Corradino will develop a methodology based on the standard FDOTVehicular, Bicycle, Pedestrian
and Transit Level of Service Tables. A matrix will be created showing each roadway in the system, and
the various complete streets modes. The each mode will be measured through the data collection in
this task, at their service level or adequacy will be graded in this table. Grades will be projected in to the
future to determine future need.
p
Task 3.2: Transit
Supply and demand in the form of ridership, adjusted service frequency (Vehicles/hour), headways and
hours of service data will be collected from Miami Dade Transit and the City of Coral Gables. Boarding
and alighting counts and transfer activity will be reviewed. This will be supplemented with data
collected in the field (existing infrastructure: visual analysis of the location of transit stops, transit
shelters, signs, route information, bus bays, etc.)
Task3.3: Bicycle and Pedestrian Level of Service
Roadway characteristics of all major arterials and collectors will be collected from FOOT and Miami Dade
County. This will be supplemented by field visits to obtain typical sections, and a qualitative assessment
of the presence and scale of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, lateral separation of facilities from
motorized vehicles, spacing of driveways and side streets, signal spacing, pavement conditions, widths
of outside through lanes, median openings, traffic control devices, speed limits. Crash and fatality data
will be collected.
Task 3.4:
roadways.
Traditional vehicular level of service will be determined for each of the project area
Task 3.5: Land Use
Future land uses will be mapped to determine areas of density and intensity in order to assist in
determining most appropriate origins, destinations and generators to prioritize.
Task 4: Analysis / Needs Assessment
The data collected in the previous task will be analyzed to
discover gaps in the system or areas where actual levels of
service do not meet projected goals. Level of service
deficiencies will be identified in each mode.
Bicycle, pedestrian and transit amenities and their levels of
service (from FOOT's QjLOS Handbook), will be evaluated,
particularly as they interface with major trip generators,
major intersections, and locations that have level of
service issues. Design guidelines for bicycle facilities will be
provided.
Similarly, an analysis of transportation policy issues as a
means of enhancing mobility will be undertaken. Policy
initiatives like alternative concurrency management and
measurement, will be explored, as will transportation
systems management or transportation demand
management techniques which can be incrementally
impactful in mitigating congestion. These techniques such
"Mr,..11 ..

RAe p
as flexible work hours, zip cars, shared bicycles, congestion pricing, car pools and telecommuting will
move travel out of the peak hours, therefore immediately impacting congestion. Bicycle, pedestrian and
transit policies and programs will be recommended. An examination of creative policy initiatives across
the nation which incentivize the desired travel
behavior will be undertaken. A listing and
explanation of the positive and negative aspects
of these polices will be provided. Additionally
other policies that may be considered include
the prioritization of the various modes, the shift
in funding levels between modes, how
concurrency is measured, and how the
development community mitigates its impacts.
Task 5: Project Development
Projects that arise from the existing list of city
projects and the needs assessment resulting
from the analysis and the public input, will be
placed in the "Project Bank". Each project in
each of the five categories (Roadway, Bicycle,
Pedestrian, Transit and Policy) will be described
on a project sheet that includes the following:
• Description of the project
• Purpose and Need
• Location
• Existing conditions assessment
summary
• Cost: Planning, Design, and
Construction
• Possible funding sources
Task 6: Policies, Procedures and Design
Standards Recommendations
In this task the policies regarding complete
streets, the procedures to implement them and
the design standards to build them will be
developed.

This will provide guidance to staff, citizens and developers on design tools and methodologies for
ensuring City roads and future development address adequate and safe access for all users. It will serve
as the Data and Analysis for the updates for the Comprehensive Plan, and Land Development Code,
minimizing efforts to formally update those items. Importantly it will have a link to concurrency, and
suggest a concurrency management mechanism, by which developments are reviewed and asked to
mitigate the fair share impact to the transportation system through the development of projects in the
manualor contributions to funds which will implement the projects.
It is important in developing a design manual, that we be cognizant of other entities. The rights of way
in South Miami, are owned, operated and maintained by a variety of entities, including South Miami,
Miami Dade County, and the Florida Department ofTransportation. Miami Dade County Public Works
design standards will need to be adhered to in many instances. These will be explored.
The manual that is envision will have the following outline:
• Introduction
• Goals, Objectives, Policies
• Procedures
• Street Network
o Principles
o Impacting Factors
o Street Classifications
• Roadway Design
o Design Elements
• Intersection Design

Task 7: Funding
This task will make recommendations on how to creatively fund the recommended improvements,
primarily by incorporating them into a concurrency management program. The goal would be to
provide an incentive for the development community to mitigate the transportation impacts of their
developments by the use of multi-modal complete streets projects as opposed to traditional roadway
projects.
A concurrency management system could be designed by which developers will be asked to work with
the city to assess their impact to the community based on the location, density and intensity of the
development. Each mode would be assigned a level of service standard, which would be incorporated
into the comprehensive plan. This will provide the legal justification by which to have applicants
mitigate impact. Instead of traditional mitigation techniques that focus on roadway improvements,
new mitigation would be based on the implementation of complete streets projects, as part of the
project or in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City's manual will contain a project bank of projects.
The city could convert impact into a per trip fee, and charge applicants, put the collected fees into a
fund, then implement the complete streets projects with those funds.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
'4Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manual"
RFQ #PL20 15-15
INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
Over the past decade, interest in urban redevelopment and downtown revitalization has begun
to dramatically change the form of South Miami and' surrounding areas. Changes in traditional
land uses, architecture and the desire for intermodal transportation improvements are helping
to shape the character of the City.
The City of South Miami, located in Metropolitan Miami-Dade County is a full service municipal
government. The City is approximately 2.5 square miles with 46 miles' of roads and 13,000
permanent residents. The City, located between SW 40th Street, SW 88th Street, SW 57th
Avenue and SW 69th Avenue, is adjacent to the City of Coral Gables, the Village of Pinecrest
and Unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The City is home to two regional medical centers,
South Miami Hospital and Larkin Hospital, a thriving downtown shopping district and a
Metrorail station.
The City enjoys a diverse populat'lon of residents, busin!)sses, students, and civic organizat'lons
that are actively involved in community planning to varying degrees. The Green Task Force. a
resident advisory committee, works in close association with the City Commission on
sustainability and transportation issues, recommending strategies, policies and initiatives. The
Green Task Force has identified as one of its main initiatives, to make the City a safe and
pleasant place for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers~ as well as improve multi-modal
transportation options. Residents created a petition (with over one thousand signatures) .
urging elected officials to make South Miami more bicycle and pedestrian friendly, and as a
result, the City Commission passed a resolution recognizing the importance of bicycling in
transportation and recreation for the betterment of the residents and the environment. In
response to recommendations by the Green Task Force, the City installed. bike racks in the
downtown area and began a tree planting initiative to shade sidewalks and decrease traffic
speeds.
In FY 2013, the City approved the funding of South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan
(SMITP) using a combination of PTP and MPO funds. The Plan was completed in early 2015
and implementation funds were allocated during the FY 2015 budget cycle.
While the SMITP provides a general framework of the City's mobility in terms of walking,
biking, transit, and driving with specific street types, it does not put the policies in place to
ensure future developments adhere to complete streets principles.
This Complete Streets Policy & Design Manual (Project) is part of a continuing effort to enhance
the transportation system and mobility choices for the residents and visitors to the City of
South Miami. The Project aims to enhance the pedestrian network of sidewalks, crossings,
roadway improvements, shared use (bike-ped) facilities, and neighborhood greenways
throughout the City, connecting residential areas with downtown shopping and dining, transit

facilities (Metrorail and BRT) and M-Path. A main priority of this Project is to provide a safer
environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and residents by through infrastructure improvements
and education. This Project aims to build upon the results of the SMITP scheduled to be
completed in early 20 15 with a focus on pedestrian safety and mobility.
APPROACH & OBJECTIVES
The approach entails soliCiting public involvement to develop policies that would implement the
City's efforts to enhance its transportation system and mobility choices for residents and
visitors. Complete street poliCies involve the integration of all aspects of mobility, including
vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit.
Specifically, this Project has the following objectives:
I) Develop Complete Streets Design Standards Manual
2) Create grading system for the level of services for each mode of transportation
(pedestrian, bike, automobile, transit), define and grade City's Transportation Network
3) Make recommendations for complete streets policies and procedures to incorporate
into Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
4) Make recommendations for specific improvements on the City's Transportation
Network. The mUltidisciplinary approach will look at how to integrate development
requirements that focus on:
• Pedestrian accommodations such as wider sidewalks; traditional and raised
crosswalks; median crossing islands and sidewalk bump-outs
• Traffic calming measures such as lowering speeds of automobiles and defining the
edges of automobile travel lanes, including center medians, shorter curb corner
radii, elimination of free-flow right-turn lanes, and installation of street trees.
• Bicycle accommodations such as protected or dedicated bicycle lanes,
neighborhood greenways, wide paved shoulders, and bicycle parking
• Mass transit accommodations such as bus pullouts, transit signal priority and bus
shelters
5) Make recommendations for innovative and traditional funding solutions for
implementation.
GOALS
The goals of the City are to achieve meaningful physical improvement in the form of complete
streets, which will serve as an economic development tool for achieving long-term community
sustainability. Instituting a complete streets policy ensures that transportation planners and
engineers conSistently design and operate the entire roadway with all users in mind -including
bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and riders, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities,
increasing access to physical activity opportunities for all users.

RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
City of South Miami staff will manage all aspects of the project with the majority of technical
work performed by the selected consultant.
PROJECT AND KEY TASKS
This Project is intended to provide specific recommendations to update and amend the existing
Land Development Code (zoning code) to implement smart growth, a Complete Streets Policy,
and where necessary, the City's comprehensive plan will be updated to address these policy
guidelines. The Complete Street Policy measures would be required of all new development
and redevelopment projects, where applicable.
The City is looking to evaluate the multi-modal transportation system as it pertains to the
Complete Streets Program. Once the Transportation Network has been evaluated and graded,
a manual of standards for how, where, when and the frequency that various improvements
should be made will be outlined. Further, specific policies and procedures are needed to
incorporating the recommendations into the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. Finally.
specific reGommendation for mapping and pricing of multi-modal improvements will be needed.
The Project will be accomplished through the following:
I) Data Collection
2) Civic Engagement
3) Policies, Procedures and Design Standards Manual
4) Analysis / Needs Assessment
I) Data Collection
Review and evaluate all pertinent background data I information relevant to the project. This
includes a review of previously completed plans and studies. such as the 2015 South Miami
Intermodal Transportation Plan (SMITP). Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Codes. and related goals, objectives and policies.
as well as the County's Unified Planning Work Program, with the intent of adopting Complete
Street Policies with an emphasis on safety. Review existing conditions and propose
improvements as identified in SMITP. Create a grading system. define the City's Transportation
Network, and evaluate level of service for each mode (bike, pedestrian. transit, automobile) on
the City's Transportation Network.
2) Civic Engagement
The project shall be conducted in a meaningful. transparent and collaborative atmosphere. with
public participation of the stakeholders shall be integrated into the process. Stakeholder shall
include residents. businesses and the City'S Green Task Force. The Project shall conduct at
least one (I) public charrette workshop to include input from stakeholders. This workshop will
the cornerstone to establish guiding principles and proposed design solutions.

3) Policies, Procedures and Design Standards Manual
This task entails development of necessary policies and/or regulations needed to address
existing deficiencies throughout the City. Specifically, this task shall include development of a
comprehensive regulatory framework to implement Complete Streets Design Guidelines
Manual for adoption. The following items shall be updated:
A) An independent separate Complete Streets Design Standards Manual (Manual) will be
prepared to provide guidance to staff and citizens and developers on design tools and
methodologies for ensuring City roads and future development address safe access for all users.
The Manual shall be consistent with the goals of the SMITP and support the recommended
projects that encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation, reducing dependence
on the private automobile. The Manual will establish standards or guidelines to implement the
City's adopted Complete Streets Policy. The Manual will take into account existing city design
guidelines and standards.
B) Provide policy recommendations to enhance safe access for all users, including pedestrians,
bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities, that fit within the context of the
City of South Miami. The City's Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan, and Land
Development Code should be updated to include Complete Streets Policy to enhance safety
and mobility and reference the adopted Manual.
C) Provide innovative and traditional funding recommendations for implementation of both CIP
improvements and enforcement mechanisms for new (re)development.
4) Analysis / Needs Assessment

OUR APPROACH
As you kIlOW, sometimes the most
complex and controversial projects
in our cities can be sidewalks, bike
lemes and traffic calming. Corradino
understands that not only does the
city need technically sound and
implem8ntable projects, but that in
the end, implementation depends
on developing a cousensus within
the community for the policies,
manual and individual projects.
Corradino's approacll is "hands on,"
designed to build consensus throughout
the process. Extra care needs to be
taken when locating tlmtproject as it
will have a direct effect on someone's
neigllhorilood 0" property. Corradino
110S been higlJly successful in wOJ'king
'with communities on complex pJ'ojects,
by communicating and bringing them
together over common il1terests. This
approacilmoke l1eig!1bors ilappy, alld
takes pressure oflof st~ff Gnd elected
officials alike, easing implement"Gtiol1.

Dear Ms. MelJelJdez
Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of
insantiy is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting a different result."
Now ask yourself, how many transportation plans can be produced that
solely focus on automobHe traffic. Do we need another,
Since the 1950s when we started with 2·lone roads to move that traffic, we've
cut down trees to make 4·lone roads. We've maximized the width af·havel
lanes sO cars could move faster. We've created complex algorithms to allow
'traffic signals to process high volumes, moving hundreds to thousands of cars
through the US-1 corridor in hours. Still, the results of 60 years of doing the
same thing over and over again is congestion. In South Florida,. we have
created an automobile dependent community, which has resulted in one of the
most dangerous places to walk and bike in tne United States.
At Corradino, we know it is "Impossible to build our way out of congestion
that emphasizes investing in new road::. and improvements focused solely
on the automobile. To mitigate congestion, prOVide true mobility, health and
safety, we musl provide alternatives. We have partnered with some of the
most progressive communHies across the state In crafting plans and programs
focused on Complete Streets concepts. We are excited about this opportunity
with South Miami because we believe it can be an example for other dties
facing similar congestion and safety frustrations. This project can be a
paradigm shift in transportation planning, not iust in Soutn Miami and South
Florida, but nationwide. Complete Streets proiects are the future. Let us help
South Miami be the model by which others seek.
Corradino's work on transformational projects relating to transportation
planning is extensive, with over 150 employees and a history since 1971. We
have worked on "first of their kind" efforts like the Metrorail and Busway in
South Florida, and Won mUltiple awards for our transportation and planning
work. Our process is proven successful, tested, and Simplified, ensuring our
client's projects are implementable. Experts, and the preferred Comp'lete
Streets consultant in ·South Florida, Corradino has completed similar projects
for CiJtler Bay, Palmetto Bay, Doral, Miami, Key Biscayne, Miami Gardens,
Miami Lakes, Coral Gables, Sunny Isles Beach, Homestoad, Islamorada,
Pinecrest, Sarasota,FDOT, the Miami·Dade MPO, and more. As a firm and as
industry profeSSionals our team has experience with MPO Municipal Grants,
haVing worked on over thirty of them. We have also worked with the Health
Foundation of South Florida, and having produced nearly 0 dozen Safe Routes
to School studies.

We have worked on "first

and planning work.
I will serve aS project manager and pOint-okontoctfor City stoff forthis project.
My track record on similar projects is extensive, including having developed
multimodal plans based on the Complete Streets philosophy that has been
implemented in across the region.
As an extension of the City our team will meot with key stakeholders including:
religious and business leaders, concerned citizens, elected officials, and staff,
to understand needs and wants, Following these important discussions, the
Corradino team will help the City prioritize projects provide cost estimates l
timing and prioritization. Lastly, we will creote a detailed and realistic
implementation plan, which will serve as a "play book" for the City to plan,
design, and construct its. projects. We commit to completing individual work
tasks as well a. the final deliverablets) on-time and within budget.
I look forward to assisting South Miami stop the insanity by doing something
different. I am positive that this will serve as an example for others.

Transit Mobility Plan: As a new municipality, the City of Doral
had to develop and upgrade its transportation mobility infrastructure
in a multi~modol manner. Corradino developed 27 projects that were
implemented by the City focusing on pedestrian, bicycl~, and transit
aspects of the inter modal transportation system. This Transit Mobility
Plan focused on fur.ther linking all modes of transportation together by
looking to ensure that roadways have the multimodal capacity for modes
such as pedestrian, bicycle, and transit in addition to the automobile. In
doing so, each mode was examined to determine their Level of Service
on each street, and projects were devloped accordingly.

General Planning Consultant: As Miami Beach began to rejuvenate in the
early 1990s, The Corradino Group played a critical role in the master planning
process that led to the implementation of a $97 million general obligation bond
initiative.
Three master plans Were devel~ped:
• Transportation
• Water and Sewer
• Drainage
The Corradino Group developed the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan, which
looked at the city from a multi-modal perspective. This generated nearly 100
proiects and won an Award of Excellence from the American Planning Association.
Some of the resulting projects were the first of their kind in the state, including
the Transportation Concurrency Management Artlos, an Automated Concurrency
Monagement System, and a major effort to develop a multi modal transportation
system, including greenways, trails, and transit. Corradino planned the Miami
Beach Electrowavet the first municipal circulatort which was r-un on battery power,
Additionally, Corradino produced extensive urban design plans for Biscayne Point
and North Shore neighborhoods. 'Corradino worked with FOOT District 6 to do the
first approved traffic calming project on a state road in the districts, with the Alton
Road Traffic Calming Project. The firm studied the Boy link project, which was
to connect the Beach to Miami via a transit mode. As the City grew, Corradino
performed the Coastal Communities Transportaflon Master Plan, an extension of
the Municipal Mobility Plan, which looked at multi modal transportation on all of
the cities on the barrier islands_ Importantly, this included a sophisticated origin
and destination study that tracked movement in and out of the area, shedding new
light on local and regional travel pa~erns. Similarly, Corradino updated the City's
Transportation Element, which furthered the concepts of shared bikes and zip cars,
Corradino conducted the City Wide Parking Study which surveyed every parking
space in the city.

f. OTHER RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
CiTY OF "'HAMI ~"ACH
Corradino produced the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan
in the early 2000s. This effort was the genesis of $97 million in
General Obligation Bonds which set out to address multimadal
transportation issues city-wide, As a master plan l it looked at the
entire community in each mode, Levels of service for modes of
transportation were graded and as a result, it suggested many key
praiects which have been built an incrementally over the years.
Resulting proiects included the ElectroWave, (the first municipal
circulator, which at the time was run by an electrically powered
bus) atneady 100 intersections. Operational improvements were
suggested, such as enhanced crosswalks, signa! optimization l
and pedestrian prioritization improved turning radii, as a result,
transit circulators were suggested in North Beach and Middle
Beach and led to bicycle and pedestrian master plans. A cily-
wide parking analysis was completed by Corradino, as was an
intermodal feasibility study for a potential rail line. It was the first
multi modal attempt at municipal master planning, and pioneered
the evolution of Miami Beach today.
By the mid 2000s, the initial Miami Beach plan was updated by
Corradino in the form of the Coastal Communities Transportation
Master plan. That analysis was funded by an MPO grant and
participated by all the cities on the barrier islands from Golden
Beach to Miami Beach. Its focus was an elaborate origin and
destination study which tracked each vehicle.that entered and
exited the system over the causeways via camera. A detailed
pielure oltravel patterns was established and improvements to the
roadway network were suggested and implemented. The results
guided another shift toward multi modal Complete Streets Iype
efforts, as the Cily was realizing that its needs could no longer
be served by roadway proiects. Proiects such as the shared
bicycle programs and enhance greenways were implemented
as a result. This year, Miami Beach built on this historic policy
effort by formally prioritizing alternative transportation modes,
and ranking pedestrian and bicycle mades first.

Corradino has produced three updates for the City of Dorol,
including their Mobility Plan and multiple traffic calming analysis.
Dora! is a relative-Iy newly incorporated city in west central
Miami·Dode County that is built on a giant one mile grid, which
is completely unwalkable_ Initially, they undertook a mobility
master plan that focused on all modes. City leaders began to
implement roadway projects within the right-of-way ta improve
traffic flow and planned a bicycle and pedestrian master plan.
The second update of the master plan further focused on the
development of multimodol projects. Through both iterations,
projects in this fast growing city were planned, designed and
built and require more proiects to place into the development
pipeline. Mast recently in 2014, Doral and Corradino completed
the third of these studies, the Doral Transit Mobility Plan that
focused on the more definitive shift from roadway projects to
alterative mode projects. All modes of transportation had their
levels of service graded. Heavy focus was placed on filling gaps
in the bicycle and pedestrian network at specific locations which
will be subject to the most intensive development. This is currently
being implemented by the City and will be used to assist in the
mitigation of traffic impacts.
--_._-------'
Corradina produced multiple reports for the Village of Palmetta
Bay including their Mobility Plan, Bicycle and Pedestrian Moster
Plan, Safe Routes to School, multiple traffic calming analysis,
and their Transit Circulator. After analyzing and grading level
of service in every mode and projecting capacity deficiencies on
each road , it was found that while there were many operational
improvements, the roads Were essentially built out and significant
capacity would not come from road widenings. To maintain
quality of life and mobility, people needed alternotive options.
Levels of service for all modes Were measured arid deficiencies
were identified in which they were tested and projects were
planned to mitigate those issues. Policies were placed in the
Comprehensive Plan to ensure that implementation of these
projects. This award-winning effort was led by Corradino.
Projects were designed to existing standards. Subsequently,
another award-winning plan was their Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan focused on providing connections to local
generators, other city bicycle and pedestrian facilities, as well as
regional lanes, paths and trails_ Similarly, multiple Safe Routes To
SchoolStudies were conducted, providng children with alternate
safe walking paths to school. The Palmetto Bay Circulator was
studied and routes initiated. This provided service between the
various generators within the community. Today, Corradino is
updating the Circulator study to gain more efficiency from it'
routes allOWing Palmetto Bay to have one of the most well-
planned diverse transportation networks in the County.

G. PROPOSED APPROACH FOR COMPLETING THE PROJECT
WE UNDERSTAND the City is looking to evaluate the transportation system and its ability to be multimodal. Doing this will
entail an assessment of bicycle, pedestrian and transit levels of service. Public engagement in the form of stakeholders meetings
and public workshops will be held to understand the vision of the community and develop policies. Multimadal options will be
suggested in the bicycle, pedestrian and transit categories. These alternatives will be used to create specific proiects that will fill
the gaps in the system and convedpoorly ranked facilities into ones that meetthe service standards suggested in the policies.
The results of this project will be to update the Comprehensive Plan by adding a Compete Streets Objective and Policies to the
Transportation Element. Subsequently, the land Development Regulations will implement these Comprehensive Plan Policies
with specific recommendotions. Ultimately, these Complete Street Policy measures would be required of all new development
and redevelopment projects, where applicable.
This scope of service can be completed in 5 months for a cost of $55,000 and $5,000 for a contingency.
The Project will be accomplished through the following tasks:
11 Civic Engagement
2) Review of Previous Studies
3) Data Collection
4) Analysis/Needs Assessment
5) Project Development
6) Policies, Procedures and Design Manual
7) Funding

TASK 1 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
UNDER CORRADINO'S approach, this task is the most critical in the entire proiect. Under our approach, the policy
recommendations will result from combination of needs and want assessments of the community. Completing this correctly
builds consensus, eases implementation, and takes pressure off of the neighborhoods, staff and elected officials. In this task,
an outreach program will be scheduled, including internal meetings, interaction with the public in stakeholders meetings, and a
public workshop_ The report will be presented and approved at a public hearing with the City Council. Additionally, a web-based
social media strategy will be employed so that a brooder spectrum of the public can interact and contribute on their time and at
their convenience. Both engaging the public and incorporating public input is a multi-level process that takes place consistently
throughout the duration of the plan development. Ensuring the participation of the public will facilitate the implementation of the
proposed proiee!s, and result in a plan that is uniquely tailored to the specific needs of the city. Civic Engagement will be ongoing
throughout the proiee! in a variety of individual tasks.
Corrcdino will meet with City's project management team to
formalize the scope of services, schedule, and deliverables. Formal
progress meetings are recommended to be held at the kickoff of each
individual task to confirm the work to be done and its timings, and at
the conclusion of each individual task to finalize the work completed_
1.'2 ~takeh"k:ler51 O~'tre"ch Meetings
Corradino will meet with a number of stakeholders duri,ng this process.
This interaction will be in one-on-one meetings orin small groups. These
meetings will be with business owners, citizens, community leaders,
the Green Task Force, staff and eleded officials. As misinformation
. can frequently be used as a distraction to derail progressive efforts,
the goal is to ensure that everyone will understand the same set of
fads, and to eliminate erroneous inFormction in the system.
1.3 Workshop
Subsequent to the Stakeholders meetings and as recommendations
are being created, a formal public workshop will be held.
1 A Pvblk !-!earings
The public involvement portion of the project will culminate with the
presentation of the draft report to the project management team for
edits, and then taking the final report to the City Commission for
approval. This report will detail the prioritized recommendations as
a component of the Implementation Strategy. Meetings will be held
with the appropriate city board or commiijee (Planning and Zoning,
Green Committee, ERPB, Etc.) and finally the City Council.

CORRADINO WILL EXECUTE formal collection of traditional data such as the location, condition and level of 'ervice of
existing facilities, including road" bike and pedestrian facilities and transit routes. This is where the grading system of the roads
will be developed. First, an agreed upon street network will be defined with the City. Then, on-site evaluation will be needed
to coiled Leve! of Service Data. Level of Service is calculated differently for vehicles than it is for other modes. Vehicular or
roadway level of service is d quantitative measure, assessed on how many vehicles can pass a certain point in a certain period of
time. Bicycle and pede,trian level of service is qualitative, focused on if, how and at what quality facilities are provided. Traffic
Counts are used to collect vehicular level of service, while personal assessment of facilities is used to collect bicycleJ pedestrian
and transit level of service. The agreed upon network of roads will have level of service assessed for each mode. This will be
presented in tabular form. All data will be mopped via Geographic Information System (GIS). Quality data and accurate level
of service is the foundation on which this proiects recommendations will be built. Doto Collection will include:
3.1 Gf'a<iing System
Here, Corradino will develop a methodology based on the ,tandard
FDOT Bicycle, Pedestrian dnd Tromit Level of Service Tables. A matrix
will be created showing each roadway in the system, and the various
complete streets modes_ The each mode will be measured through
the data collection in this task, at their service level or adequacy will
be graded in this table. Grades will be projected into the future to
determine future need_.
Supply dnd demand in the form of ridership, adjusted service
freguency (Vehicles/hourI, headways and hours of service data will
be collected from Miami-Dade Transit. Boarding and alighting counts
and transfer activity will be reviewed. This will be supplemented with
data collected in the field (existing infrastructure: visual analysis of
the location of transit stops, transit shelters, signs, route information,
bus boys, etc.)
3.3 Bicll-de and Pedestrian Level of Service
ROddwdY characteristics. of all major arterials and collectors. will
be collected from FDOT and Miami·Dade County. This will be
supplemented by field visits to obtdin typical sections, and a qualitative
assessment of the presence and scale of bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, lateral separation of Fadlities from motorized vehicles,
spacing of driveways and side streets, signal spacing, pavement
conditions, widths of outside through lanes, median openings, traffic
control deVices, speed limits. Crash and fatality data will be collected.
3.4 LOlrld Use
The development of Complete Streets is inherently tied to the land
use, which creates not only the trip generation, but may influence
multi-modal needs. Information about the existing and future land
use, including density, essential services, and the mix of uses, will be
collected from the City and compared to the corridors to supplement
the data on existing facilities.

TASK 4 ANAlYSIS /I"IEEDS ASSESS!ViEN1'
THE DATA COLLECTED in the previous task will be analyzed. Traffic volumes will be projected into the future, while gaps or
weaknesses in the system will be identified. This will be the basis of the selection of alternative projects. This project will use
existing MPO South East Regional ·Planning Model Data, supplemented with FDOT and Miami-Dade County traffic data to
assess vehicular lOS and projecl volume and all lOS into the future.
This will be done by determining the system performance as stated by the level of Service for the selecled roadways and
interS8Gtions in the existing condition and the future condition in 2020, and in 2035, in the peak hours of travel. All will be
determined at a planning level analysis from the FDOT lOS Handbook, Capacity Tables, and by review of MPO LRTP Model
results.
The bicycle and pedestrian analysis will focus on supportiveness of the area towards those modes in terms of safety measures,
density, mix of uses, street connectivity, proximity to transit and other essential destinations like grocery stores, schoois l senior
housing and services l sodal services, major employment areas, colleges, hospitals, libraries and parks. The first step of this
andlysis is to identify dreas where pedestrian and bicycle improvements would likely have the highest impact on the largest
number of existing dnd potential users. System deficiencies will be identified, specifically missing sidewalks and bike lanes. These
will be mapped, and each corridor assigned a bicycle and pedestrian LOS. Level of Service emphasizes reducing the number of
obstacles that prohibit the greatest number of users from walking and cycling. Missing links in the bicycle and pedestrian network
will be input inlo a spread sheet detailing the exact location, side of the street and missing linear feet. Costs to improve these
links will be tallied, providing an easily understood spreadsheet as to the location and cost of this infrastructure improvement.
Alternative projects will be evaluated based on their ability to reduce conflict and attract the greatest number of users,
The transit analysis will focus on understanding transit from an operational perspective. The routes, and the ridership 'will be
assessed. The route performance and individual bus stop performance within each route will be ranked relative to ridership and
on-time performance. The ridership data will be used to suggest improvements to the existing stops and stops either by eliminating
or combining stops, or rearranging or consolidating routes.
From the results of the analysis and the input obtained from the initial workshop, an initial set of short, mid, and long term
multimodal alternatives will be developed. Many of the needs will be gleaned from ideas received in the public involvement
portion of the project. This task will develop and recommend a list of future transportation needs, identify concepts to address
the needs, and analyze the feasibility of transportation concepts.

Proieets will be identified in each of the following modal areas:
As part of this study, locational
aspects were documented via site
visits and the ,qualities ,and conditions
of the R. o. W. were incorporated into
the recommendations.
4.1 'ifral'lsit
This will focus on areas of transit level of service (nOS, from FDOT's Q/LOS
Handbook), as it interacts with areas of existing and planned activity as well as major
trip generators. Focus for transit projects will be at points of concentrotion like transit
stops, adjacent to trip generators -e,g. schools, civic organizations, hospitals, etc,
4.2 1>edestdan
This will focus on pedestrian amenities and their levels of service (PLOS, from FDOT's
G/LOS Handbook), particularly as they interface with moior trip generators, maior
intersections, and locations that have level of service issues. Pedestrian and bicycle
projects will focus on projects that are interconnected with existing bicycle or
pedestrian segments l connect to existing major trip generatorsl and that improve the
level of service for pedestrians and bicyclists. By gqining an understanding of how
pedestrian connectivity between origins and destinations can be beneficial to the
community on many levels, the City can change both driver and pedestrian behavior
to prioritize the pedestrian made of travel. A program to incentivize the development
of these fadlities will be provided focusing on evaluation, education, enforcement,
and engineering. Design guidelines for pedestrian facilities will be prOVided.
4.3 Bicyde
This will focus on bicycle amenities and their levels of service (BLOS, from FDOT's
G/LOS Handbook), particularly as they interface with maior trip generators, major
intersections, and locations that have level of service issues. Bicycle projects will Focus
on projects that are interconnected with existing bicycle segments, connect to existing
major trip generators, and that improve the level of service for pedestrians and
bicyclists. A detailed examination of potential proiects will be undertaken focused
on the improvement on the level of serVice, the removal of impediments, or the filling
of gaps in the system and the ease of implementotion. Design guidelines for bicycle
facilities will be proVided.
4.4 Policy
This will focus on transportation policy issues as a means of enhancing mobility. Policy
initiatives like alternative concurrency management and measurementwill be explored,
as will transportation systems monagement or transportation demand management
can be incrementally impactful in diminishing congestion, These techniques, such
as flexible work hours, zip cars, shared bicycles, congestion pricing, car pools
and telecommuting will move travel out of the peak hours, therefore immediately
impacting congestion. Bicycle, pedestrian and transirpolicies and programs will be
recommended. An exomination of creative policy initiatives across the nation which
incentivize the desired travel behavior will be undertaken. A listing and ,explanation
of the positive and negative ospects of these polices will be provided. Additionally,
other policies that may be considered include the prioritization of the various modes,
the shift in funding levels between modes, how concurrency is measured, and how
the development community mitigates its impacts.

THE POLICIES REGARDING COMPLETE STREETS, the procedures to implement them and the design standards to build
them will be developed,
This will provide gUidance to stoff, citizens and developers on design tools and methodologies for ensuring City roods and
future development address adequate and safe access for all users, it will serve as the Data and Analysis for the updat& for the
Comprehensive Plan, and land Development Code, minimizing efforts to formally update those items. Importantly, it will have
a link to concurrency and suggest a concurrency management mechanism, by which developments ore reviewed and asked to
mitigate the fair share impact to the transportation system through the development of projects in the manual or contributions to
fu nds which will implement the projects.
It 15 important, in developing a design manual, that we be cognizant-of other entities. The rights of way in South Miami,
are owned, operated and maintained by a variety of entifies, including South Miami, MiQmi~Dade County, and the Florida
Department of Transportation IFDOT). FDOT and/or Miami-Dade County Public Works design standards will need to be
adhered to in many instances. These will be explored and incorporated where applicable,

City of South Miami Complete Streets Policy & Design Standards Manua} RFQ# PL2G15-15
CORRADINO WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS on how to creatively fund the recommended improvements, primarily by
incorporating them into a concurrency management program. The goal would be to provide an incentive for the development
community to mitigate'the transportation impacts of their developments by the use of multi-modal complete streets proiects as
opposed to traditional roadway proiects.
A concurrency management system could be designed by which developers will be asked to work with the city to assess their
impact to the community based on the location, density and intensity of the development. Each mode would be assigned a
level of service standard, which would be incorporated into the comprehensive plan. This will provide the legal justification by
which to require applicants. mitigate impact. Instead of traditional mitigation techniques that focus on roadway improvements,
new mitigation would be based on the implementation of Complete Stre.ets projects, as part of the project or in the surrounding
neighborhoods. The City's manual will contain a project bank of projects. The city could convert impact into a per trip fee charged
to applicants. These collected fees would then be placed inlo a fund dedicated towards the implementation of the Complete
Streets projects. Corradino has developed similar systems in the post and will be able to apply this experience to the City's needs.
