September 10, 2009 Re: RFQ- New Riverfront Park plan Members of the selection committee. On behalf of our team we thank you for the opportunity to express our interest in the opportunity to continuing working with the greater Nashville community in the next big step in realizing a new riverfront destination for Nashville and the surrounding region. Hargreaves Associates is no stranger to Nashville and its ambitions and we wish to continue where we left off. Hargreaves Associates and our team have successfully completed numerous large scale and complex waterfront projects throughout the region and nation, ranging from $20 million to well over $125 million. Our experience for some of the most iconic riverfront public spaces in the US are those that have incorporated strong and successful design visions with the long-term character and identity that transcend functional, short-range problem solving and programming. Many of our riverfront projects have become iconic, character-defining spaces within their respective cities, even becoming major catalysts to redevelopment and revitalization. We believe our team has the unique set of experience, qualifications and vision to chart such a course for Nashville. It is with these thoughts in mind, along with the following portfolio of qualifications, that Hargreaves Associates is pleased to express our sincere interest in the Nashville Riverfront Park plan. As requested, we agree to and hereby accept the terms and conditions of the Request for Qualifications and the MDHA-issued Addendum. We look forward to hearing from you and if there is anything else we can do, please let us know. Regards,
Gavin McMillan PRINCIPAL gmcmillan@hargreaves.com HARGREAVES ASSOCIATES 118 MAGAZINE STREET CAMBRIDGE, MA 02139 617 661 0070 T
An Understanding of Place and Process
The Tennessee and the Ohio; the Potomac and the North Canadian; the Detroit, the Willamette and the Mississippi; like the Cumberland as it flows through downtown Nashville, all are iconic rivers with characteristics as unique as the communities that rest upon their banks. All are also rivers that Hargreaves Associates have come to know through our work on public riverfronts in over two dozen different communities in the US and abroad. Through our initial planning and design work, we understand that Nashville faces many of the same questions and challenges each of these communities faced when contemplating public reinvestment in the riverfront. Challenges and questions such as: how to envision a park that successfully “connects” the community to a river many have forgotten or simply cannot access; how to turn potential obstacles of riverplain-based park activities and construction into an opportunity, how to engage the unique, local historical and cultural identity of place in manner that is meaningful to both lifelong residents and new visitors; how to generate value to achieve not only public open space, but to do so in a manner that becomes a catalyst for economic investment, how to unite broad interests and stakeholder platforms into implementing the singular vision, and how to do all the of this in a manner that works with ecological systems and regional character to create an environmentally sustainable park for generations who follow. In short, we understand that the Nashville riverfront is not a simple “open space” development that only exists on paper; rather, it is a complex space that requires these challenges to be addressed through leadership, experience, design and creativity.
The Right Balance
The project team is a remarkable ensemble of international expertise and local knowledge and experience. Hargreaves Associates will lead a riverfront team with the proper qualifications in critical areas of landscape architecture, civil/transportation/waterfront engineering, and architecture, sustainable systems and related fields. With our extensive national and international portfolio, we recognize the importance of local knowledge in seeing a project through to completion. We’re proud of the fact that over 75% of our project team is comprised of Tennessee consultants. In the process of assembling the right team, we first looked to those offices that have a reputation for being collaborative, strive for client satisfaction and principal-level involvement, and have an openminded, diverse practice with a culture of innovation, experimentation and progressive thinking. What we found are project partners in some of the best local design and engineering practices; offices that know how to do great work and win an award or two, but are really proud of their work right here in Nashville. In the final analysis of the project team, it was a pleasant surprise to learn
b
executive summary mmary mmary nashville ville riverfront verfro
that nearly 50% of the anticipated project scope will be performed by DBE-qualified firms. Not only has the team provided an inspiring and creative Master Plan but the skills and experience BSF in place to design, engineer, permit and construct the project in a timely manner. The project team has that “right balance” of creative vision and pragmatic and practical expertise.
For the Riverfront to be a Knockout … Nashville needs to deliver a One-Two Punch!
Once completed, we know that Nashville’s New Riverfront Park could be truly outstanding with all the benefits of greener infrastructure, more sustainable resources, healthier citizens, happier children, stronger communities, satisfied users, smarter growth and economic development. It could be a riverfront destination that Nashville can be finally proud of. What stands in the way is a very challenging site that has proven resistant to change - as decades of shelved plans can attest to. To break this resistance, Nashville needs to deliver a strong and effective combination of both design intent and implementation – a “One-Two Punch”. As most of the field investigation work is yet to be done, it is not simply a matter of implementing the master plan. As the discovery of less obvious site information – geology, archeology, history, endangered & threatened species, remediation, flood modeling, traffic etc – is developed, it will be necessary for the design to respond, develop and change. That is how designed places become unique while also overcoming constraints. This is how to build upon the investment to date...with fresh eyes. However, for the design to change without compromising the design intent or breaching stakeholder & community trust or slowing the project down, Nashville needs a Consultant Team that already understands the site, knows what the design intent is and already has goodwill established with the stakeholders and community. This project team really understands the local community, and the things that are important here. We are not “starting over” with the community; rather, we are building on the ideas and strategies that were laid out in the Master Plan and need to be followed. There is no danger of “reinventing the wheel” with this team; and there should be a seamless transition from the Master Plan to Schematic Design to Construction Documents to Ribbon-cutting! During 2005, Metro Parks & Recreation, the US Army Corp of Engineers and our Consultant Team delivered the first punch to all the reasons not to do anything on the river. These efforts exceeded all expectations. We stand on the threshold of the next phase of work and ask Nashville to continue with our Team as their partner and deliver the second punch to create a riverfront that is a “Knockout”.

Our
team combines international experience with local knowledge and community understanding. Hargreaves Associates will lead a project team with the proper qualiďŹ cations in critical areas of landscape architecture, civil/transportation/waterfront engineering, and architecture, sustainable systems and related ďŹ elds. The project team’s skills span the spectrum from design to regulatory permitting to sustainable design and construction.
We have assembled a core team of expertise to work along-side the MDHA project leadership that is speciďŹ c to the unique needs of the Nashville Riverfront. In doing so we strive for the following;
Balance – of leadership with expertise, Personable – senior people are hands-on, Diversity – in gender, ethnicity, age and viewpoint Multidisciplinary but independent – with collaboration at the core to avoid “group think� and “one-mind dominance� See the big picture, yet understand the details – to ensure we bring the plan to life, yet pragmatic with the know how to get it built
Hargreaves Associates is leading the team because we first started out exclusively planning and designing special parks downtown - particularly cities with waterfronts. Over 25 years these public spaces and infrastructure investments have proven themselves as catalysts to surrounding development and we have since focused on successfully leveraging the built environment of public infrastructure and private development to work hand in hand. The features and benefits of the team created for the Nashville Riverfront are; It is lead by Hargreaves Associates - the most innovative firm experienced in waterfronts not only nationally but also in Tennessee – so the probability of a very successful outcome for the residents and visitors of Nashville is great, It reflects a balance between national and local expertise – so the outcome can be truly local and also nationally significant, It continues with the same core group of firms and people who developed the Riverfront Concept Plan – so the goodwill with the public and the good relationships established with regulators will continued without interruption, It ensures that all the field group firms and support group firms have worked with the core group firms on other projects – so there is no learning curve It promotes independent expertise from many firms of people who are managed collectively – so the people who are good at what they do are vested in the project regardless of their corporate affiliations and who are unlikely to be constrained by “group think”, It includes a majority of firms who are located in Tennessee, with over 75% of the team located locally, right here in Nashville-Davidson County.
Nearly 50% of the anticipated project scope will be performed by MDHA certified DBE-qualified firms. It is team with active participants in the greater Nashville design and civic communities

SCHEDULE OF CURRENT AND PAST PROJECTS The vast majority of Hargreaves Associates work focuses upon work in the public realm on projects that are, either in whole or in part, similar in scale, complexity, time sensitivity and civic program to that of the Nashville Riverfront. The following is a list of similar scope and magnitude The list documents recent significant works of the Hargreaves Associates portfolio of the past 5 years, along with other signature, “time-tested” projects form our portfolio.
ON TIME, ON BUDGET Hargreaves Associates takes great pride in our “on-schedule, on-budget record”. We have an excellent record of meeting project schedules, including intensive schedules developed for fast-track projects where there is no compromise in the schedule. These projects include some of the most visible, time-sensitive projects in the world, including the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics. We believe that it is critical to develop realistic schedules that take into account adequate review periods, meetings and presentations, and other tasks that require advance planning and notice. It is also important to build into the schedule a degree of flexibility in the timing of deliverables, allowing buy-in from the appropriate parties. We have implemented and embrace project management tools and systems that ensure the highest quality process and product, and ensure on-time, on-budget practices. Throughout the project, Hargreaves Associates will maintain a high degree of coordination and communication amongst our team members and between our team and MDHA. This ongoing assessment of project status and progress is the best way to ensure that the project will stay on schedule and critical deadlines will be met. We use weekly in-house project status review meetings to further ensure that the all projects stay on schedule and meet or exceed our internal production quality standards.

Waterfronts It is critical to develop realistic schedules that take into account adequate review periods, meetings and presentations, and other tasks that require advance planning and notice. It is also important to build into the schedule a degree of flexibility in the timing of deliverables, allowing buy-in from the appropriate parties. For a project like the Nashville Riverfront, early ‘constructability’ review of the preferred design concept along with a realistic assessment of the budget and permittign considerations are essential so as to not rally support around project elements that are ultimately unachievable. Cost trending is critical to the success of the project. Hargreaves has a substantial database of cost data from built projects and other professional resources. Detailed cost estimates are done at each milestone during the design process and tested with budget and project goals. We frequently reevaluate the project cost goals with the client to determine where cost control measures need to take place. Formal estimates with the Construction Manager are also performed during the design phases to ensure that we are meeting our client goals.

As with the initial riverfront planning efforts, Gavin McMillan will serve as Principal in Charge in our Cambridge,Massachusetts office. Gavin will provide strategic leadership of the entire project team. Gavin will also be responsible for critical points of contact throughout the course of the project. Gavin will attend all critical project meetings and presentations. Also located in Cambridge, Matthew Tucker will serve as Project Manager and will lead the day-to-day work of the project team. Matthew will be the day-to-day contact and will attend all project meetings and presentations. Rachel Loeffler will serve as Job Captain and will continue her role in the project through direct involvement in all aspects of the project and shepherd significant components of the project through to completion. Gavin, Matt and Rachel are unique in that they are equally comfortable at the drawing board, in front of the dais or in the construction trailer. George Hargreaves, FASLA serves as Design Director and is responsible for strategic design direction and frequent design review. George will attend critical project meetings and public events concerning project design. Additional Hargreaves Associates’ project team members will provide specific expertise based on particular project challenges or quality control review.
The Nashville Project team is comprised of a core group of existing consultants who were project partners on the Master Plan. This includes continuing our valued relationship with Gary Hawkins of Hawkins Partners (HPI) and Gary Everton of EOA Architects. HPI will provide local landscape architectural expertise and Gary Everton will do the same for architecture. Both Gary’s will act as a local project liaison, utilizing their long-standing relationships with local stakeholders to assist in moving the project forward on the right path and to help steer the project away from “potholes” or speed bumps. Ann Coulter of KCRW will continue her invaluable role of helping to orchestrate the exchange of public opinion and to help be a barometer of public and political opinion. Moffat Nichol will lead the riverfront engineering aspects of the project and will call upon their international expertise in waterfront engineering andpermitting to help move key elementT of the riverfront plan through permitting. The core team is joined by Dan Barge III and Barry Quinn of #arge Cauthen. Aside from the deep experience in civil and stormwater engineering that will be critical to achieving the sustainable green infrastructure vision of the project, both Dan and Barry will work aside the project team in guiding the project through local permitting channels and will assist in keeping quality control of the field work in check. The following pages clearly demonstrate the specialized expertise of the project team members and a brief profile and bio describing the roles and responsibilities of each office and the respective qualifications of the project key staff. We believe the suite of project skills and qualifications reveals a diverse range of qualifications required to see the riverfront vision implemented.

Role: Architecture Everton Oglesby Architects provides outstanding responsive design balanced with exceptional client service, EOA always strives to achieve excellence – in both design and client service. EOA involves the client as an active participant in the design process and in approving critical decisions. EOA strives to create spaces and architecture that will encourage targeted responses of the building’s occupants. EOA takes a holistic approach to designing architecture for the human spirit and personal interaction – translating concept, style and materials into a higher level of project success – by moving beyond a focus solely on the quantitative elements like program, budget and schedule, to also give consideration to the qualitative, human elements of a program, a building and, ultimately, the client and users. Their architecture strives to reinforce our client’s distinctive brand/purpose/business strategy. They believe all aspects of a building – its architecture, interiors, lighting, graphics, and its hard and soft landscape should be integrated.

His various 404/401 permitting experience deals with projects related to large-scale master planned developments, municipal developments, water withdrawal issues, linear transportation and corridor projects, water supply reservoirs, stream and wetland restoration. A brief summary of Mr. Duke’s professional experience includes the following:
City of Clarksville, TN, Clarksville Marina at Fairgrounds Park — CEC performed the ecological assessment, wetland inventory, and stream assessment for the proposed marina. Following the ecological studies, CEC prepared the Section 401/404 Clean Water Act permit application packages for submittal to the Corps of Engineers and TDEC. CEC prepared a detailed stream and wetland mitigation and performed construction administration for the completion of the mitigation plan. CEC also conducted a sediment characterization of the dredged material.
Tennessee Department of Transportation, Ecology Contract — Project manager for CEC’s contract with the Tennessee Department of Transportation for Ecological and Environmental Documentation Reporting. CEC has been successful in winning the TDOT contract for 8 years and Mr. Duke has managed each contract with the total over $4M in work orders throughout this period. The contract involves projects ranging from simple bridge replacements to new linear transportation routes in excess of 25-miles in length through previously undeveloped terrain. All deliverables to TDOT are in support of Clean Water Act and Aquatic Resource Alteration Permits. CEC has been involved in performing the ecological and environmental documentation for one of Tennessee’s most controversial transportation projects in State Route 840. Specific tasks associated with this roadway alignment are described below.
TDOT State Route 840 Ecology and Environmental Assessment and Documentation for Section 404 Permitting — CEC was tasked with preparing the Ecological and Environmental Assessment for two (2) sections of SR-840 in southwest Williamson County. The project evaluation totaled 16.872 miles of roadway alignment through undeveloped rural terrain.

TDOT State Route 840 Impact Mitigation (Franklin Battlefield) — CEC was tasked with preparing stream restoration plans for two streams located on the historic Franklin Battlefield site. The stream restoration project was selected by TDOT and TDEC as acceptable stream mitigation for impacts to streams on SR-840. The site of the Franklin Battlefield has been modified by development, specifically the Franklin Country Club and the creation of an 18-hole golf course. The golf course channelized sections of the two streams, impounded Carnton Creek with three ponds used as water features for the golf course, and removed much of the riparian zone in long reaches. Furthermore, severe bank erosion is occurring throughout much of both creek. CEC's design team of hydrologists, engineers, AutoCAD designers, and biologists are near completion of the design plans that will be reviewed by TDOT, City of Franklin, and the historic architects to make sure the plan meets the need for stream restoration and the historic theme of returning the site to the near 1860's era layout.
Caney Fork Creek Reservoir Permitting, Portland, TN — The project was for the permitting of a proposed water supply reservoir on Caney Fork Creek near Portland, Tennessee. The project involved numerous tasks including regulatory liaison with both Federal and State Agencies, utilization of the RBP and IBI protocols to characterize resident fish and benthic macroinvertebrate populations, collection of monthly flow and in-situ water quality data. Collected continuous temperature date to document pre-reservoir stream conditions and to model anticipated conditions in the proposed reservoir. The project also involved a great deal of public relations work associated with locating and securing stream/wetland mitigation sites required as a condition of the pending permits. The 404/401 permits were issued and the projects mitigation was performed that included stream mitigation, restoration, and bank stabilization.
Harpeth Shoals Marina, Ashland City, TN, Environmental Permitting and Assessment — CEC prepared the Environmental Assessment (EA) for submittal to the Cheatham Lake Resource Managers Office and Real Estate Division of the Nashville District Corps of Engineers. CEC also prepared the Section 401/404 permit application packages for the Corps of Engineers Regulatory Branch and TDEC.
Clean Water Act Permitting, Nashville, TN — Mr. Duke prepared the environmental permitting and assessment for the Mills Corporation for the Opry Mills retail development project. The existing streams aquatic community, fishes and macroinvertebrates, and water quality was characterized to provide a basis for the permitting process. A stream restoration plan was prepared and approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Tennessee Division of Water Pollution Control.

In addition to these Pennsylvania Act 2 projects, he has also completed similar projects in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Kansas. PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Managed the Act 2 site-specific investigation/remediation of the 126-acre LTV South Side Works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The facility was the location of steel-melting and rolling mill operations. The site was acquired by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh and has been developed into an office park, sports complex, residential housing, and commercial stores. The project was a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Showcase Site in 1998 and a US EPA Region III Phoenix Award winner in 2002.
Managed the Act 2 Special Industrial Area investigation/remediation of the River’s Casino in Pittsburgh. The site is a former steel manufacturing facility that is planned for redevelopment as a casino. The site is in the Pittsburgh North Side Enterprise Zone and so is eligible for Special Industrial Area status.
Managed the Act 2 Special Industrial Area investigation of the 72-acre former LTV Aliquippa Coke Plant. The investigation included the assessment of soil and groundwater conditions, impact on an adjacent public water supply and assessment of potential soil vapor impacts using an emission isolation flux chamber.
Managed the Act 2 site-specific investigation/remediation of a 176-acre coke

Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency RFQ New Riverfront Park Plan plant in Hazelwood, Pennsylvania for LTV Steel Co. Inc. The coke plant was idled in 1998 and demolished in 1999 to 2000. The investigation included installation and sampling of over 50 monitoring wells, several dozen soil borings, river water sampling, bioattenuation analysis, LNAPL recovery, and removal of buried coal tar. The study showed that LNAPL and groundwater contamination were confined to a buried valley where biological activity was effective in degrading contaminants.
Managed the Act 2 site-specific investigation of the 37-acre former LTV Steel East Mills dump site in Midland, Pennsylvania. The abandoned dump was formerly used by LTV Steel Co. to dispose of various steel manufacturing wastes. The site groundwater had been impacted by an upgradient, offsite source of TCE.
Managed the Act 2 site-specific investigation of a former Lectromelt furnace manufacturing facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The investigation included soil and groundwater investigations, waste disposal, asbestos abatement, and demolition of the multi-story manufacturing facility in preparation for construction of new warehouse space.
Managed the Act 2 investigation and remediation of the former RB&W facility in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. The site was formerly used to manufacture screws and has been impacted by oil releases to soil and groundwater. The facility is immediately adjacent to a municipal wellfield and the Ohio River, so concerns about groundwater and surface water exist. The project also included asbestos abatement and building demolition.
Managed the investigation/remediation of releases from a gas station into fractured limestone. The release resulted in free-product discharge from a spring nearly one-half mile from the station.

Mr. Styborski is versed in proposal and budget preparation, job scheduling, sampling plan execution, client communications, and report preparation. PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Mr. Styborski has performed numerous hydrographic surveys whereas bathymetric data collected during the surveys were used to produce river and lake bottom contour maps, and sediment accumulation isopach maps. Consecutive years of data were compared to calculate sediment accumulation volumes using sophisticated software applications. For data collection, a thermal depth sounder integrated real-time GPS in conjunction with data logging software was used to collect simultaneous depth and GPS measurements every 1-second. This in turn allowed for a large amount of data to be collected in a short period of time, coupled with minimal post-processing of data using software applications for contouring, allowed for the production of very precise mapping.
As the field team leader, Mr. Styborski participated in an Aquatic Resource Characterization Study for the ORSANCO, PADEP and the PAFBC. Several inventory techniques were used to collect information on habitat conditions within the 10 navigational pools (110 river miles) surrounding the Pittsburgh area, including sections of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers.

Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency RFQ New Riverfront Park Plan Shoreline videography was used to study near shore cover and riverbank composition, and bottom relief data were gathered using side scan imaging sonar. Sonar substrate signatures were ground truthed through the use of underwater video and substrate sampling and analysis. A differential Global Positioning System (GPS) provided the locational information needed to spatially reference inventory data into a Geographical Information System (GIS). The GIS database is currently being used by regulatory agencies for resource protection, research, and management of the three rivers area.
Mr. Styborski performed a side scan sonar survey of the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers, by the request of and in cooperation with the USACOE and USCG, to identify potential underwater obstructions (e.g., barges, houseboats) within the navigational channels of these rivers. This high importance emergency response search and recovery effort was performed as a result of a flood in January of 1996 in the Pittsburgh region, which resulted in numerous barges, and recreational boats to sink. The rivers were closed until this survey was completed identifying all obstructions to navigation.
As the lead scientist, Mr. Styborski performed a project at the Armstrong Power Station on the Allegheny River in which ecological investigations were performed prior to the filling-in of a mid-river dredge hole with aggregate located in the Allegheny River adjacent to the power plant. The close proximity of the dredge hole to the intake structure resulted in increased silt, debris, and leaf matter to be drawn in to the plant’s cooling system. CEC performed day and night electrofishing, hoop and gill net surveys, dissolved oxygen monitoring, underwater video of the substrate, and a qualitative mussel survey. Bathymetric and side scan data collection were also performed to assist in documenting the habitat conditions of the area. CEC reported the findings to the regulatory agencies for review. Bathymetric and isopach maps were created, and used to calculate sediment fill volume estimates, and to assist operators by providing locational and depth information to be used during the filling process.
Through the use of side scanning sonar Mr. Styborski successfully located a $65,000 water quality monitoring station for ORSANCO which was sunken on the bottom of the Ohio River as the result of heavy river flows and debris loads. Side scan sonar data was interpreted on-site, and a marker beacon was deployed on the submerged station for later recovery by commercial divers.
Mr. Styborski operated and interpreted side scan sonar imaging data during a high importance search and recovery effort in which a metal fuel tank was successfully located while submerged in the navigation channel of the Monongahela River. Due to the abnormally low flow river conditions, the submerged tank punctured a tanker barge during navigation, resulting in a spill of 4,000 gallons of heating oil in to the Monongahela River. As a result of this nine river mile search effort, the tank was successfully located by CEC and subsequently removed by the USACOE to restore safe navigation.
Mr. Styborski has been the lead investigator for over 20 sediment core sampling projects performed in lakes, lagoons, and rivers. These surveys are routinely performed prior to dredging of sediments to characterize the substrates, and identify the chemical constituents, if present. CEC has also

Mr. Styborski assisted in the implementation of an Aquatic Monitoring Program for Duquesne Light’s Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station located on the Ohio River in Shippingport, PA. Sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates, fish and ichyoplankton were performed, in conjunction with Corbicula fluminea (Asian clam) and Dreissana polymorpha (Zebra mussel) Monitoring.
As a malacologist, Mr. Styborski has performed mussel resource evaluations and threatened and endangered mussel species surveys by method of diving for the commercial sand and gravel dredging industry in Western Pennsylvania. The USACOE require underwater investigations for freshwater mussels as a permit requirement prior to dredging sand and gravel reserves from the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers. Bathymetric and side scan imaging sonar surveys were also performed to evaluate the potential aggregate resources, and provide bottom contouring mapping.
Mr. Styborski has served as a field team leader and malacologist for over twelve threatened and endangered mussel species surveys conducted on French Creek, the Juniata River and the Allegheny River for PADOT proposed bridge replacement projects and municipalities. This work included investigative field studies including diving, taxonomic identifications of freshwater mussels, regulatory agency coordination, and report preparation.
As lead Malacologist, Mr. Styborski performed an endangered mussel survey and relocation effort at the Sugarcreek Borough Sanitary Sewer Facility located on French Creek in Franklin, Venango County, Pennsylvania. As a permit condition to perform repairs to the sanitary sewer, freshwater mussels in the project area were collected and translocated to a suitable mussel relocation site in accordance with the objectives outlined in the USFWS Section 7 ―Biological Opinion on the Impacts of the Sugarcreek Borough Pipeline Project on the Northern Riffleshell and Clubshell‖. CEC successfully relocated 91 living mussels, representing 10 mussel species, and including 10 endangered Northern Riffleshell mussels.
As the field team leader for a PCB bioaccumulation study at the U.S. Army Woodbridge Research Facility in Woodbridge, Virginia, select fish species from various water bodies present at the decommissioned military base were collected by electrofishing and gill netting. In addition, live boxes were utilized to deploy mussels at 10 designated locations, and mussels were removed on a monthly basis for tissue analysis. This data was used for a human health risk assessment associated with the consumption of indigenous fish and shellfish.

Greg Stoks has been involved in the water entertainment industry since 1983 when he joined his father’s residential and commercial swimming pool business. In 1997, Commercial Aquatic Engineering was formed with Greg as principal of the company. The company rapidly developed a reputation for being able to provide everything from design consultation to complete construction and maintenance services. CAE was asked by Rainforest Café management to help simplify and redesign their signature water features to improve reliability, reduce installation complexity and improve system maintenance. Under Greg’s leadership, CAE responded with the development of UL listed, prefabricated mechanical systems and highly innovative prefabricated fountain structures. These new systems dramatically reduced field installation time and space requirements, improved reliability and were significantly easier to maintain than the original designs. Greg purchased CAE in 2000 with the vision that this new prefabricated approach would streamline the water feature development process allowing the company to provide competitively priced fountains throughout the United States. It became quickly apparent that architects generally lacked critical information needed for water features implementation. In response, Greg developed a concept validation and budgeting process to assist architects with initial water feature concepts, concept support documentation, functionality and performance reviews and budgeting analysis. In 2002, Greg founded Aquatic Recreation Company, (ARC), where he developed a full line of water play elements for the aquatic industry. Leveraging his twenty four years of experience in the aquatic industry, plus CAE’s water manipulation technologies and the new prefabricated mechanical systems for splash pads recirculation systems, ARC now offers over 100 water play attractions and interactive features that are unique to the industry.

project experience nashville shville riverfront ront
A single project does not has the exact set of circumstances that are identical to the unique characteristics of the Nashville riverfront. Like the peculiar flow and change found along every mile of the Cumberland, the Nashville riverfront has its own identity unlike any other place along the river. This results in a distinct combination of opportunities, scale and scope that define past, present- and future- of the riverfront.
A thorough knowledge and understanding of these unique elements- from why the river flows where it does, to the palimpsest of land use history along river edge- is critical to the success of taking the riverfront from a plan to “a place”. With the unique character of Nashville in mind, our team’s local knowledge and energy- coupled with expertise in making great waterfronts in Tennessee and throughout the world- reveal a suite of projects and places we believe have the similar qualities or issues to that of the Nashville Riverfront, and it’s program and opportunities its regulatory or physical constraints, as well as the broader context of how to integrate multiple projects into one cohesive whole. These similarities include: Knowing the work to-date, respecting the investment and build upon past successes...with fresh eyes Understanding how local experience and knowledge allows us to make the right decisions and lead the project through the right pathway to approval. Getting beyond the veneer and getting to “deep green”, through the integration of ecological systems, urban hydrology, hard infrastructure and long-term maintenance. Finding opportunities to get an ideas implemented and great spaces built- all on a challenging site that has proven resistant to change or when others think it can’t be done. Building great spaces that help people get to know and experience a place, while also serving as a catalyst for economic development and learning. The following pages clearly demonstrate the relevant project experience for each firm on the project team, including the team’s ability to accomplish reviews and permitting of waterfront-related projects. These projects could not be realized without the proper due experience in due diligence and permitting to see the project through.

Hargreaves Associates combines the skills of landscape architecture, planning, and urban design with related disciplines to create memorable environments. The work is characterized by a philosophy of strong, simple design that responds in innovative ways to the unique set of forces exerted upon each site from both cultural and environmental processes. This design philosophy is integrated with a clear understanding of costs, current construction techniques, and scheduling, with an all-important emphasis on the clients’ needs and goals.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Hargreaves Associates has at its core a single overriding concern: connection— connection between culture and the environment, connection between the land and its people. Civilizations have long sought dominance over the landscape, pursuing agrarian and industrial wealth. In reaction, the last twenty-five years have brought about the emergence of an ecological approach to planning, the preservation and restoration of natural systems, and the notion of sustainable landscape. Our own built landscapes eschew these polarized approaches to the land — one potentially damaging to the balance of natural systems, the other blind to culture and remote from people's lives — seeking the in-between. Our work acknowledges the simple truth that "made" landscapes can never be natural. With increasing frequency our work deals with land which has been made and re-made. These projects reach toward real, visceral connections in an everyday environment. The scales of projects vary, from miles of urban riverway and hundreds of acres of waterfront or converted landfill at one end of the spectrum, to a single city block or small courtyard at the other. Through manipulation and amplification of environmental phenomena such as light, shadow, water, wind; residual environmental and industrial remnants; and topography and habitat, we strive to foster an awareness and understanding of the structural components of natural systems by direct interaction. This direct interaction is in contrast to the insular experience of a replication or restoration of “nature.” In this way the experience of these built landscapes may indeed be more real in their impact on people than landscapes of preservation or re-creation. In other instances, these landscapes may accentuate past, present and future fusions of culture and environment. At many different scales, an abstract archaeology surfaces to embrace fragments of previous human use such as those unearthed on an abandoned
industrial or agrarian site now converted to public use. This archaeology may also reveal elements of wilderness or pre-cultural dominance, or even the very forces which shape the earth. Without erasure, beyond recall, and outside the walls of the museum our connection with the land and landscape is exposed as the knotted bond it has been and will always be. Whether reductive or rich, highly programmed or passive, culturally interpretive or teeming with the phenomena of nature’s own systems, these built landscapes seek the power of connection to our day-to-day lives.

NASHVILLE WATERFRONT
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Standing firmly on previous community planning processes and over a hundred different city master plans, the Nashville Riverfront Master Plan unifies previous efforts while proposing a visionary intervention into Nashville’s Downtown. The project creates a 150 acre island by carving a new recreational waterway between the existing Titans stadium and inner I-24 loop. The stadium is surrounded by an urban forest sculpture park which doubles as parking for football events. The Urban Forest is connected to a series of a larger framework of public open spaces which stretch through the site. Development within the island is concentrated along a major new north/south boulevard which links fragmented portions of East Nashville. This development also defines a new active rivers edge with a multi-level Riverwalk framed by commercial, marina, and residential development.

BATON ROUGE RIVERFRONT MASTER PLAN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA This Master Plan for 2 miles of the Mississippi Riverfront in Downtown Baton Rouge is the central catalyst for the renaissance of the urban center of the capitol of Louisiana. Mayor Melvin L. “Kip” Holden’s vision is to develop a world-class riverfront which will reconnect the city to its historic waterfront and foster private sector investment. The River Terraces will be 10.35 acres of new waterfront parkland, built on pier structures in the Mississippi River beyond the levee. The plan includes the major redevelopment of a historic brickyard to include a new ball park, two new hotel complexes and downtown residential and retail developments. The design affords areas for hosting outdoor activities such as concerts, sporting events and art shows. In addition, it re-imagines the Old State Capitol as the civic center piece of downtown and creates a new Town Square for the City Governmental Complex along North Boulevard.

ABU DHABI BEACH PARKS
ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Hargreaves associates with GREC architects were commissioned by the Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) Abu Dhabi to produce a set of guidelines and 2 concept designs for the beaches of Abu Dhabi. Conceived as beach parks rather than ‘traditional’ beach fronts Hargreaves sought to produce a new paradigm for Abu Dhabi’s beaches. Aesthetically the schemes seek a contemporary interpretation of traditional Islamic design principles, mixing expressive ‘calligraphic;’ form with symmetrical rectilinear patternation. Through combining the traditional beach environment with formal and informal sports, formal play, chilled swimming pools, promenades and a supporting retail zone the schemes achieve wide ranging appeal to the local population and the international tourist. The guidelines document equips the client with a set of robust but flexible rules for creating new beach environments throughout Abu Dhabi. It contains information on conceptual principles, program distribution, retail design, car parking, furniture types & distribution, hard & soft landscape and maintenance. With this document the TDIC can conceive, procure and manage its beaches for present and future generations.

CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE
Hargreaves Associates (with Schwartz Silver Architects) developed the master plan for these 129 acres of waterfront on both the north and south sides of the Tennessee River. The design identifies distinct district characters and creates a bold new waterfront for all of Chattanooga, grounded in those qualities of site and history that have made Chattanooga unique. The design recaptures the site of the original founding of Chattanooga and reconnects the city to its waterfront, incorporating 83 acres of open space and infrastructure and 46 acres of new mixeduse development, making the city’s goal of “living, working, playing and learning at the river” a reality.

CHATTANOOGA RENAISSANCE PARK
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE
The 23.5acre Renaissance Park on Chattanooga’s North Shore has been designed and constructed on a former industrial site. An intermittent stream draining over 175 acres of urban watershed cuts through the park, contributing to significant non-source point pollution of the Tennessee River. Enamel frit waste cells left in the water table by previous owners threatened to leach a range of contaminants into the surrounding site and water systems. Buried waste was removed and stabilized chemically and geotechnically on site rather than be exported to landfills. A created wetland system now collects and cleans urban runoff generated on site and runoff brought onto the site via the North Market Street Branch stream, before release into the Tennessee. Finally, unstable and actively erosive stream and river banks have been stabilized with a unique vegetative revetment system and the use of fascines and live-staking, as well as a series of gabion structures and rip-rap armature.

GUADALUPE RIVER PARK
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA The Guadalupe River Park is a paradigm of a modern flood-control project integrated with a major recreation park and wildlife habitat expressed as culturally “made.” It assures nature a place in the center of San Jose — a legacy to last for generations. The River Park underlay consists of the grading plan for the flood-control channel itself; it provides the underlying structural spine for the design of the River Park. Undulating terraced banks and landforms create the obviously manmade and river-influenced backbone for the native riverbank landscape. The second level, or River Park overlay, consists of the plan for open spaces, events and habitat restoration currently being developed along the channel; these places make clear the relationship of humankind, technology and nature.

LONDON, UK Hargreaves Associates with LDA Design are currently developing detailed design for the open spaces in the Olympic Park both during and after the Games. The design will create a new kind of park that promotes sustainable and active living. In 2009 work will start on the parklands and public spaces that will help form part of the largest new urban park in London since the great Victorian era of park building. After the Games the Park will be made up of different areas suiting a variety of needs including allotments and other food-growing areas, meadows, wetlands, wooded valleys, orchards, new wildlife habitats and facilities for sports such as canoeing, mountain biking and climbing. New cycle and footpaths will connect the Lower Lea Valley with the River Thames for the ďŹ rst time.

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA Hargreaves Associates is working for the City of Miami Beach providing design and master plan services for 19 acre South Pointe Park. The existing park’s assets are substantial: expansive views across Government Cut, adjacency to lively residential neighborhoods, and direct access to both the bayfront and beachfront. However, the program amenities and design quality of the park require substantial intervention to capitalize on these assets and make the park a vibrant and successful place. Hargreaves Associates is developing a plan that includes a grand esplanade along Government Cut, a beach dune restoration area, children’s playground landscape, and a park pavilion, all anchored within a dramatic, serpentine landform that will serve as a place for viewing, a path for walking, and artful, iconic feature of the park.

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY The master plan and park design reclaims 120 acres of derelict industrial waterfront by re-engaging Louisville and the Ohio River. One million square feet of residential, ofďŹ ce, and retail space bracket the sloping centerpiece: the 12 acre Great Lawn. The Overlook is 30 feet above the Ohio and offers wide views across the river, back toward the city skyline and out over the Great Lawn and its events. The Park includes an expansive public gathering space, festival plaza and fountain overcoming barriers of expressway and roads to draw people to the river. The Wharf accommodates large riverboat docking, and also hosts an annual concert series. Festival Plaza was designed around Kentucky Derby festivals as well as seasonal vendors. Riverine landforms afford spectacular views of the river and city from elevated play meadows. The rising landforms enclose more intimate spaces, opening out to inlets and riparian habitat.

Everton, FAIA, LEED AP Striving for a better tomorrow today EOA Architects is an architectural, interior design and urban planning firm which positively impacts individual lives and shapes communities through the creation of award winning projects in a variety of specialty areas, including automotive, civic, educational, hospitality, mixed-use, office, residential, historic restoration/ rehabilitation, recreational, religious and retail projects. We also offer resources that address programming, master planning and feasibility studies as well as 3D building visualization, cost estimating and constructability. Our clients continue to select us because they enjoy the benefits from our collaborative design process which yields exemplary architectural solutions specifically tailored to their project’s unique needs. We build a team of talented staff who strive to be well informed of our client’s issues and understand those items and market conditions which are critical to the success of both our client and their building project. Working together, we minimize our client’s greatest challenges and the ordinary now becomes extraordinary. PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE: Our Mission EOA Architects’ mission statement is outstanding responsive design balanced with exceptional client service, articulating that EOA always strives to achieve excellence – in both design and client service. We are an excellent design firm that involves our client as an active participant in the design process and in approving critical decisions. Our client’s satisfaction is of utmost importance to us as we don’t consider a project successful until our client also deems it successful, regardless of how many awards it may win. Additionally, we embrace diversity of people and ideas. Engaging various perspectives is healthy and critical to a holistic design process for delivery of a successful high-performance building. EOA’s collaborative design process utilizes full team charrettes with our clients, other design and specialty consultants and contractors, as well as regular in-house “crit” reviews.

technology allows us to provide a more efficient / effective design and construction process that assists us in meeting our client’s expectations related to a building’s image, functionality, quality, first and life-cycle costs, energy consumption, sustainable practices, long-term operations and maintenance concerns, etc. DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY: Architecture That Makes a Difference EOA is driven by a passion to improve people’s lives through architecture. Our goal is to contribute to making the world a better place through the way we and our projects maximize positive impact on people’s lives and minimize negative impact on our global environment. For us, performance-based design recognizes that not only are material resources more scarce and expensive than ever and time is more valuable, but improving human performance is more essential for a company’s (ours and our client’s) success. Our architecture also strives to reinforce our client’s distinctive brand/purpose/business strategy. We recognize that architecturally branded environments can deliver our client’s brand promise to the public, revealing what the building owner or occupants value or represent. Done correctly, the site design and the building can be welcoming, secure, controlled, progressive, innovative, etc. We believe all aspects of a building – its architecture, interiors, lighting, graphics, and its hard and soft landscape should be integrated to reinforce the project’s targeted brand experience. For us it is not just a matter of design, but also doing our part in saving the environment, forging relationships, and helping people along the way. We call it "humanizing design®". We believe the architectural style of a building should be designed of its time to provide a visual diary of the day’s culture, predicated with a degree of tension between invention and memory, creatively solving the issues of today while respecting the rich heritage of the past. Our designs are not of a predetermined style, yet we seek contextual solutions (style, materials and constructability, etc.) that are well reasoned, intellectually and visually stimulating and contribute to the betterment of the community in which they reside. We are committed to creating artistically stimulating, distinctive sustainable designs that articulate the building’s purpose while enhancing the daily experience of all users and visitors.

Riverfront Greenway NASHVILLE, TN Hawkins Partners provided a master plan and construction documents for a greenway along the Cumberland River. This greenway serves as an urban link between Riverfront Park and the Bicentennial Mall / Farmer’s Market, two significantly used existing parks. This greenway is rich with history including: old existing stone foundations along the bluff which date back to the 1880s; abandoned rail lines from the 1930s; Trail of Tears crossing in the 1830s; an abandoned power house; and two historic wharf locations that had been developed into the Riverfront Park and Riverfront Apartments. Through several phases, this greenway becomes an opportunity to educate the user of the historical aspects of this site through limited interpretative signage and construction detailing. Stonewalls, reminiscent of 1880s building foundations, are used in appearance and layout to recall the row houses typical of that era. The addition of these walls provides additional green space and brings the user out to the edge of the bluff. These walls are strategically placed to capture the views of the downtown skyline, the new NFL stadium, and the historically significant Shelby Bridge and the trestle train bridge. A pocket park was incorporated at the abandoned Power Plant / Steam Plant. This park serves as an anchor between Riverfront Park and the Bicentennial Mall. This space incorporates off street parking, a trailhead, future development for the historical building, and one of only a few opportunities for proximity to the river’s edge. Local art is utilized to serve as the axis / focal point of both First Avenue and Gay Street.

Phase I construction completed February 2004. Phase I construction cost: $1.4 million.
NASHVILLE RIVERFRONT NASHVILLE, TN
Over a six month period starting in July of 2006, Hawkins Partners, Inc. was a part of the planning team led by Hargreaves and Associates which developed a twenty year $340 million vision for three miles of the Cumberland Riverfront that passes through the Nashville Central Business District. The plan took shape during a intensive public participation process that involved early charrettes by the Civic Design Center and a series of public meetings throughout the process. The final plan is an incremental and achievable vision that the community has embraced. The overall plan for the waterfront envisions the creation of an island on the East Bank. The island is created though the introduction of a canal running parallel to the Interstate System. The canal provides further opportunity for economic growth via mixed use development of office, residential and support retail around the existing LP Field. The plan also includes a broad interconnected series of parks, event spaces, piers, overlooks, playgrounds, wetlands, docking facilities and floating walkways to provide Nashville a continuous and expanded civic gathering space along the Cumberland River. A $40 million, 5 year, first phase plan provides a core group of amenities that can be quickly achieved. The additional two phases build incrementally upon this foundation.

North Shore Riverfront Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania As part of the design team for this new downtown waterfront park, M&N was responsible for inspection, planning, design, construction document preparation and construction observation services for waterfront structures, and some civil engineering components associated with those structures. In addition, M&N also provided permitting support and limited construction services. Structures consisted primarily of a riverwalk (steel sheet pile bulkhead fronting a concrete slab-on-grade) that stretched ~3800 lf along the Allegheny/Ohio Rivers shoreline. Riverwalk extended from west of Carnegie Science Center to the west end of PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates Stadium) and included mooring/breasting components for docking water taxis, private pleasure vessels and large steamboats that provide river cruises. In addition to an 18-ft-wide main walkway, riverwalk included several other waterfront structures: Market Street Pier – the 90-ft-long pier is composed of concrete deck atop steel pipe piles with stone façade towers at its river end. Towers extend 30 ft up out of water and support false cable stays that extend landward. Cast-in-place concrete deck is topped by an asphalt layer that serves as the base for concrete pavers. Two steel pipe pile-supported/concrete deck platforms that provide overlooks: one 3900-sf platform adjacent to the steamboat moorings, one 4200-sf platform adjacent to the circular causeway Riverfront quay structures for passenger ferries at Heinz Field and PNC Park. Quay structures included concrete ramps atop fill contained by steel sheet pile bulkhead perimeter. Ramps also provide river access for a local amphibious vessel passenger service. Mooring/berthing dolphins for a nested berthing of a WWII-class submarine and US Navy Destroyer on public display at the Carnegie Science Center. Circular scenic river causeway (360 ft long) at the Carnegie Science Center that curves out into the Ohio River. Causeway is 17 ft wide and comprised of concrete superstructure atop steel pipe piles. Civil engineering components completed by M&N include: Dredge & fill plans for along the waterfront structures, Grading to facilitate riverwalk and waterfront structure drainage; and Bulkhead penetrations for utilities and stormwater outfalls.

Downtown Louisville Waterfront Planning & Engineering, Louisville, Kentucky
Moffatt & Nichol provided planning, permitting and design support for waterfront redevelopment efforts of the City of Louisville as a subcontractor to Hargreaves Assoc. M&N assisted the City and its Architect in planning and obtaining permits as well as design and construction documents for waterfront aspects of a major downtown waterfront park which included a 17.5-acre “Great Lawn” feature that projects into the Ohio River just upstream from the McAlpine Lock and Dam. Other park components for which M&N provided waterfront planning, permitting and engineering included moorings for the riverboat Star of Louisville, relocation and redesign of other riverboat moorings, an adjacent inland Festival Plaza wharf, Plaza/Great Lawn/River overlook and stairs, a water feature inland of and adjacent to the Great Lawn, a small boat harbor upriver of the Great Lawn and 67-acre Linear Park further upriver. Moorings for the Delta Queen riverboat fleet and other riverboats are located immediately upriver from the Star of Louisville. These additional moorings are located riverward of the Festival Plaza’s wharf which fronts 1000 lf of the river and is sloped inland and upward from the river’s edge. The Festival Plaza design extended an existing 500-ft-long riverfront bulkhead and involved design for an additional 570 lf of anchored steel sheet pile bulkhead utilizing soil anchors. Immediately upriver is the Water Feature with an Overlook that transitions to the Great Lawn. This Water Feature is composed of a fountain located 900 ft inland of the river which supplies a series of cascading pools that lead from the inland park boundary to the Ohio River. The river end of the Water
Feature is composed of an inlet which projects inland 250 feet to its waterfall/concrete-encased steel sheet pile cutoff wall. M&N completed structural design of the water feature which involved 750 lf of steel sheet pile bulkhead. Adjacent to the Water Feature is a pile-supported river Overlook which protects the Great Lawn and provides a viewing area and transition between the Water Feature and Great Lawn. The pile-supported concrete overlook includes a cantilevered steel sheet pile cutoff wall (180 lf). The Great Lawn is a 17.5-acre grassy park stretching 330 lf along the river and projecting 120 ft out into the river; a concrete pile-supported platform serves as its foundation with a steel sheet pile cutoff wall (330 lf) at the land/water interface. M&N worked with the regulatory agencies and commercial shipping interests who objected to the Great Lawn in order to arrive at a mutually-agreeable design solution. This solution involved placing the “Great Lawn” on a pile-supported platform so as not to disrupt river currents which would threaten navigation safety near the locks. Immediately upriver of the Great Lawn is a manmade undulating inlet which houses a 20-slip small boat harbor. This harbor uses more than 1,000 lf of anchored steel sheet pile bulkhead on a variety of different bearings and angles. Upriver of the harbor is a 67-acre Linear Park including 4 bank-cut inlets which involve 138,000 cy of dredging and 265 lf of steel sheet pile bulkhead which utilizes soil anchors. M&N performed a variety of numerical modeling tasks using 2-D, finite-element models (RMA-2 and SEDH) to develop a design which would limit sedimentation and improve water quality in this series of new bank cut inlets.

As a commercial sand and gravel dredging permitting requirement of the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), Hanson Aggregates PMS, Inc. (Hanson) contracted CEC to perform hydrographic survey services which included bathymetric and side scan sonar, in addition to biological surveys which included fish and mussel surveys on a 1.2 mile section of the Ohio River near Beaver, Pennsylvania. Bathymetric and side scan sonar surveys were initially performed to evaluate river substrate, depth of water, evidence of previous dredging, and potential obstructions within the study area. CEC generated detailed contour mapping and sonar image overlays (shown at top left) which were geographically referenced and presented on a high resolution aerial ortho-image to present the surrounding landscape and presented to the regulatory agencies for review. Fish and mussel surveys were performed by CEC surveyors approved by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PAFBC) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which hold PAFBC Scientific Collection Permits and PAFBC Chapter 75.4 Special Permit for the Collection of Threatened and Endangered Species, a requirement in the survey protocols. The mussel survey was performed by diving in strict accordance with the survey protocol entitled “A Mussel Sampling protocol to Assess Potential Commercial Dredging Sites in Pools 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 in the Allegheny River and the Dashields, Montgomery, and New Cumberland Pools in the Ohio River, Pennsylvania”. CEC collected a total of eight different species of native mussels during the survey. The fish survey included benthic trawling and night electrofishing in accordance with the “Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Fish Community Sampling Protocol, June 29, 2006”. CEC collected a total of 17 different fish species during the survey. RESULTS: Survey results were presented to the regulatory agencies for determination if specific river reaches met the requirements for commercial sand and gravel dredging or other similar development activities. CEC has performed and supervised over 75 individual freshwater mussel surveys for the sand and gravel dredging industry over the past 15 years. These surveys are performed using standard methods, techniques, safety procedures, and sampling equipment.

Former LTV Steel Plant South Side Works Brownfield Environmental Investigation — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania CEC Services: Site Investigation Remediation Design Risk Assessment Construction Oversight
The former LTV Steel Company site on Pittsburgh’s South Side occupies 126 acres of land along the banks of the Monongahela River formerly occupied by facilities that included coal tar storage tanks, blast and electric arc furnaces, garage, rolling mills, a boiler house, electrical substations and various other associated operations and structures. CEC was contracted to complete an environmental assessment of the site and designed an investigative program that utilized existing monitoring wells and expanded upon previous work utilizing historical mapping of the site and interviews with former employees. At the conclusion of the investigation, CEC had identified groundwater contamination associated with the former coal tar storage tanks and one isolated pocket of free-product. Soil contamination at the site included coal tar compounds at the coal tar storage area, gasoline contamination associated with an underground storage tank, PCB contamination, and an extensive surface mantle of material containing elevated levels of metals.
LTV Pittsburgh Works
UPMC Sports Complex 2002 Phoenix Award Showcase Site
CEC addressed the PCB and gasoline contamination by removing the contaminated material. CEC also performed a detailed risk assessment of the coal tar compounds and metals in the surface soil. The risk assessment, which accounted for planned future use of the site, determined that the placement of 18 inches of clean fill in residential areas would prevent exposure to the residual metals in soil and the presence of buildings and roads would be sufficient to address surface soil contamination in the proposed commercial areas. The Southwest Regional office of PADEP identified the site as the region’s 2001 Showcase Site for the Pennsylvania Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2). The project also won the 2002 Phoenix Award in U.S. EPA Region 3. Occupants of the site now include University of Pittsburgh Medical Center offices and rehab/training facility, Hof Brau House, American Eagle Outfitters, F.B.I and I.N.S. offices, a theatre, restaurants and residential housing, and river-front trails.

THE HIGHLINE New York City
ETM is working with Field Operations, a NYC landscape architectural firm, the NYC Department of Parks, EDC and Friends of the High Line, a non-profit organization, to develop a Maintenance and Operations plan for the proposed new 7-acre park, High Line, to be located on the old Conrail freight line running along Manhattan’s west-side from Gansevoort Street to 30th Street. The existing elevated structure will remain and a new park constructed.
In addition, the new design calls for a number of new and/or custom site features that will have special maintenance needs like: - Custom Benches - Lighting - Vegetated walls - Lighting - Custom wooden seating The new planting design is a combination of trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses. Planting beds include grasses and perennials (due to a lack of soil depth) with “woodland thicket� areas dedicated for trees and shrubs. The plant selection is predominately native plantings along with some wetland, mosses, sedums, vines and climbers. ETM worked with Piet Odulf from the Netherlands to develop annual costs and tasks for maintenance of these plantings.

Park Master Plan

Nashville, Tennessee Hodgson and Douglas worked as the lead firm on a design team to provide a long-range master plan for this historic 2600-acre urban park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Warner Park is well known in the region because of its significant natural beauty and central location; however, increased use over the years was, “loving the park to death”. Our design team was retained to analyze the park’s capacity to accommodate a growing list of active park uses while preserving its unique natural environment. Project included long-range plan that addressed new park headquarters, parking, trails, equestrian facilities, picnicking facilities, circulation and natural systems maintenance. On-site surveys were taken in the park to discover how visiNature Center
tors use the park, what they perceived as the most valued characteristics, and their expectations for future park development. In addition, a series of public participation “visioning workshops” were held with various park user groups. Representatives included: golfers, equestrians, runners, organized sports leagues, bird watchers and hikers, etc. They were invited to come together to create a common long-term vision for the park. One of the key recommendations of the Master Plan was the creation of a “Friends of Warner Park” group. This group was established in 1988 and has successfully raised over four million dollars towards the realization of the Master Plan. Subsequent to this planning effort, H&D prepared a Master Plan for the creation of a new park nature center, outdoor exhibits and parking. This plan was successfully realized several years ago. Public meetings were conducted with park user groups to determine long-range plans.
E A S T N A S H V I L L E C I V I C S Q U A R E Nashville, Tennessee
In 2005, Hodgson and Douglas completed a Master Plan for the East Nashville Civic Square. This 9 month long study created a plan to establish a new town center for the East Nashville area as well as vital pedestrian links to the nearby 5 Points mixed-use development area. A series of four public meetings were held to gain input from the local residents and stakeholders. One of the meetings included a design charrette, where those attending the public meeting were broken into small groups and asked a series of questions that resulted in the creation of individual team designs for the area. Many of the ideas that came from this charrette process were incorporated into the final design. The end result was a master plan that was created and endorsed by the local community. The Master Plan includes the creation of a grand oval lawn to celebrate East Nashville with a rearranged Gallatin Rd. around an ellipse. With the pedestrian and cyclist in mind, two traffic lanes will be reduced in width as a traffic calming measure and a bike lane will be established.. These traffic improvements will act as a crucial step to unifying the neighborhood as well as creating ‘green links’ to different nodes throughout the community.
Frist Center for the Visual Arts & Sculpture Garden Nashville, Tennessee Hodgson and Douglas was part of the design team for this project of significant importance for the City of Nashville. The Arts Center is housed in what was formerly the Downtown Post Office. Our work was divided into two scopes: the redevelopment area south of the post office which is comprised of two city blocks containing older structures and surface parking. The redevelopment plan included redesign of the area streets, clearing the sites, developing new parking, planting and streetscape. The second scope included the area immediately around the post office and the new sculpture garden. For the redevelopment area, H&D developed hardscape plans for new streets, sidewalks and pull-off ramps; developed the area landscape and streetscape plans as well as irrigation; selected and placed site lighting as well as location of street furniture such as benches, trash receptacles, etc. For the Sculpture Court and Garden we assisted the architect in developing the design plans and construction documents. These plans included drawings for the parking hardscape, planter walls, seating, planting, fountains, irrigation and drainage.

In 2005, Hodgson and Douglas worked with a design team to provide a Master Plan for downtown Gallatin, TN. The project included the restoration of a polluted urban stream into both an ecological and recreational amenity. Years of abuse, neglect and unsustainable development polluted the stream leaving it both unusable as well as an eyesore. Through careful inventory, analysis and planning Hodgson and Douglas developed a master plan that called for the stream to be ecologically restored by removing the concrete channels, reestablishing its natural flow pattern and planting native plant communities along its banks. The master plan also developed a series of trails, bike paths and recreation spaces along the stream giving the community a recreational amenity. This portion of the stream will also serve as a vital corridor to a major greenway system throughout the county.

Budget
The City of Knoxville has developed the Knoxville South Waterfront Public Improvement Project, a plan for the development and enhancement of areas south of the Tennessee River/Fort Loudon Lake. This multi-year revitalization effort will include 12 locations along the riverfront and adjacent uplands and the work requires federal permitting from the Tennessee Valley Authority and the US Army Corps of Engineers. New South Associates’ work was designed to support Federal permitting.
Waterfront: $123,866.74 Trail: $14,418.06
New South Associates developed cultural contexts for the Knoxville South Waterfront and compiled information on previously recorded cultural resources in the project vicinity. In addition, New South developed a research design for conducting Phase I archaeological and historic architectural surveys of the individual project sites. The research design characterizes the general archaeological sensitivity of the project vicinity and provides historical overviews and proposed survey strategies for each location. New South Associates also conducted a Phase I archaeological survey of three project sites: Cherokee Road Connector/Spring Water Center (Sites 1 and 12) and Baker Creek Landing (Site 11). Combined, these three areas contained 14.6 acres. The survey resulted in the identification of a single archaeological site, 40KN299, representing an abandoned railroad spur probably dating to the twentieth century.

Budget West Terrace Survey and testing - $63,732.92 Burial Removal - $3,670.00
New South Associates conducted Phase II testing of site 40SV164 within the Main Street Marketplace and West Terrace tracts of the Riverwalk Park development area. The goal of the project was to investigate the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of the site within the two tracts. The study utilized close interval shovel testing, trackhoe trenching, and block excavation. This work revealed two features and a concentration of lithic artifacts. These findings indicated that Site 40SV164 is an ephemeral Woodland site.
The areas located within the West Terrace and Main Street Marketplace tracts were recommended as not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. In addition to the testing of known site 40SV164, New South Associates investigated reports from a previous study at the site of two human burials. Slot trenches and test units were excavated in order to locate these remains. The study identified one human burial and one non-human animal burial.

The Gulch Master Plan, Nashville, TN Working with a team of planners and architects in 2000, RPM helped to develop a master plan for redevelopment of a 30-acre site near downtown Nashville from its existing condition as a blighted industrial zone into an urban, mixed-use neighborhood with homes, workplaces and shopping. The Gulch plan was guided by the principles of New Urbanism, including careful consideration of all travel modes, including walking, bicycling and transit. Factoring in land use, circulation patterns and urban design considerations, RPM prepared a Traffic Impact Study which evaluated transportation issues, including street and intersection design, on-street and structured parking needs. The plan placed special emphasis on providing inviting and functional streetscapes that encourage non-motorized travel. The Gulch project was Nashville’s first master planned district with a transportation infrastructure that balances the needs of all modes. This project received an Award of Excellence from the Excellence in Development of Middle Tennessee in 2001. Subsequent to developing the master plan, RPM was a member of the consultant team selected to complete infrastructure design plans for the project. The construction of the project, which included roadway, streetscape, and traffic signal design plans, has resulted in tremendous reinvestment and development in the Gulch area. Client: Contact:

Country Music Hall of Fame Parking & Traffic Study - Nashville, TN Parking was a critical issue in the development of the Country Music Hall of Fame in downtown Nashville. In 1998, RPM conducted parking studies for the project to determine on-site parking needs as required in Metro Nashville’s Zoning Ordinance. RPM’s parking analysis included an extensive inventory of public parking in the vicinity of the site and the projected peak parking demand expected from the Hall of Fame. The RPM parking study showed that the on-site parking proposed for the Hall of Fame, together with available public parking within walking distance of the site would be more than enough to meet parking demands. The study also included analysis of the impacts of a new hotel and parking garage that were planned for construction across the street from the Hall of Fame. Finally, RPM successfully coordinated the necessary traffic and parking-related approvals with Metro agencies, including those from the Metro Board of Zoning Appeals. In 2001, this project received an Award of Merit from the Excellence in Development of Middle Tennessee. Client: Contact:

Music Row Master Plan & Design Study, Nashville, TN RPM was selected as part of a team to develop a conceptual planning and design document for Music Row. The purpose of the study was to identify and explore various land use and transportation scenarios for the future of the Music Row/Demonbreun Street corridor. The study included recommendations for improving the traffic flow and parking conditions within the study area. The cornerstone of the plan was a recommended roundabout at the intersection of Demonbreun Street, Division Street, 16th Avenue North, and Music Square East. The plan also recommended modifications to Demonbreun Street, between 16th Avenue North and 14th Avenue North, in order to facilitate pedestrian access along the corridor. These recommended improvements were part of a strategy to enhance the connection between Music Row and downtown Nashville, and revitalize the area. In addition to these improvements, the study included recommendations for enhancing the aesthetic features of the corridor and influencing future land use decisions within the study area. This project included the design and construction of Nashville’s first modern roundabout, pedestrian enhancements, parking improvements and extensive streetscape improvements. Since opening for traffic in 2001, the Music Row roundabout has been nationally recognized for successfully reducing traffic congestion, improving pedestrian conditions, and spurring reinvestment in the area.

2001 Strategic Plan for Sidewalks & Bikeways, Nashville, TN Motivated by a desire to build a multi-modal transportation infrastructure and enhanced quality of life, Metro’s Public Works and Planning departments hired RPM in 2001 to develop a countywide plan for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The Strategic Plan contains evaluations of the existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities as well as provides comprehensive recommendations for future facilities. Key components of the plan include an extensive inventory and condition assessment of all existing sidewalks in Nashville and Davidson County. This inventory covered over 750 miles of existing sidewalks. In conducting the inventories, the RPM team utilized hand-held computers equipped with custom developed software that was linked to Metro’s GIS. In order to prioritize new sidewalk projects and other pedestrian improvements, RPM developed an innovative procedure called the Sidewalk Priority Index (SPI). The SPI was designed to identify sidewalk priorities based on a variety of pedestrian related factors including land use, density and proximity to pedestrian activity generators. A bikeway network map was developed by RPM, which evaluated the current suitability of identified roadways for bicycles, along with specific recommendations for bicycle facilities improvements on each corridor. Finally, RPM provided a thorough outline of recommended new policies, practices and programs directed toward integrating pedestrian and bicycle considerations into all relevant Metro endeavors. In 2003, this project won an Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies in TN. Client: Contact:

Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Traffic and Parking Improvements Murfreesboro, TN Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), located in Murfreesboro, TN, is one of the largest university’s in the state of Tennessee with a current enrollment of approximately 24,000 students. Due to the college’s proximity to Nashville, MTSU supports a very large commuter student population. In 2004, RPM as part of a project team, began working with MTSU to develop a plan to improve traffic circulation and parking in and around the main campus. Specific goals included providing parking for a future enrollment of 30,000 students while improving internal pedestrian, vehicular and shuttle circulation. The 500 acre campus is squarely bounded by a solid network of public roadways; however, internal circulation to and from these roadways had room for improvement. A plan was developed to create a network of well-connected internal roadways while reorganizing parking to campus perimeters, creating a pedestrian friendly, vehicle-free core. Integral to the plan was the development of roadway cross-sections that would support all users (general traffic, campus shuttles, bicycles and pedestrians) while maintaining low speed characteristics in a congested campus environment. What was devised was a four-lane median divided roadway with dedicated shuttle/bike lanes in each direction. Traffic calming techniques such as narrow lanes and raised crosswalks were utilized to encourage lower speeds. At the center of the network was the design of a new roundabout intersection. As a result of the new crosssections, what began as an aesthetic intersection quickly became one of the first two-lane modern roundabout designs in Tennessee. Challenges included accommodating dedicated shuttle bike lanes through the roundabout, pedestrian accessibility, stakeholder education, and design phasing. The first phase of the overall plan was completed in the summer 2008. This included two significant portions of the roadway network with new cross-sections and the roundabout. Early this year the project won an Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies in Tennessee for the implementation of Phases I and II. Client: Contact:

Iroquois Steeplechase Traffic, Parking, and Pedestrian Planning, Nashville, TN RPM has served as the first and only transportation consultant for the Iroquois Steeplechase, one of the premier steeplechasing events in the South. Although Tennessee’s race has been held since 1941, 2006 was the first year that race-day transportation data was collected and analyzed. RPM developed a comprehensive race-day data collection strategy to collect traffic, pedestrian, and parking data by time and direction of arrival, parking area, auto occupancy, and event entry point. Special parking and pedestrian features of the Steeplechase include offsite shuttling, valet, and roadway contra-flow operations. The parkland setting of the race grounds has limited infrastructure presenting unique transportation challenges for accommodating the 17,000 spectators. Since 2006, RPM has worked with race organizers to refine the traffic, parking, and pedestrian plan, making it easy for visitors to enjoy this day at the races. Client: Contact:

Central Business District Parking Accessibility Study, Nashville, TN In 2000, RPM was retained by the Nashville Central Business Improvement District to develop recommendations for improving accessibility to parking around the perimeter of Nashville’s Central Business District. RPM completed a thorough inventory of each downtown parking lot and garage. The inventory included detailed information on type of facility, number of parking spaces, parking rates and ownership. A map identifying the location for each garage and lot was developed. RPM then evaluated parking demands and evaluated transit services for the study area. Based on the analyses conducted, recommendations were presented for improving accessibility to parking lots that were currently underutilized by providing direct shuttle service between the lots and central downtown destinations. This work resulted in the successful implementation of the Coliseum parking shuttle service started in 2002 by the Nashville Downtown Partnership. RPM also developed a specific plan for maximizing on-street parking in the entertainment district in downtown Nashville. After developing a curb space inventory for the downtown streets, RPM identified ways to utilize the existing curb space to provide more on-street parking. Client: Contact:

elect Sample Project Experience opry mills mall - nashville, tn TTL provided geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing services for the construction of the Opry Mills Mall, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The project included construction of a 1.6 million square foot retail and entertainment complex. The site was previously occupied by the Opryland Theme Park and is located adjacent to and within the flood plain of the Cumberland River. The nearly 1 mile long construction area included surcharge zones and abandoned structures. Subsurface conditions included heterogeneous, compressible alluvial soils, old fill, abandoned shallow and deep foundations, artificial streams and rock outcrops, as well as extensive underground utilities including a critical communication duct bank that remained in-place and in service. The new construction spanned from open flood plain to a levee protected area. The geotechnical investigation included 70 exploratory borings and extensive laboratory testing to evaluate the subsurface conditions. A shallow foundation system was used but portions of the site had to be surcharged to reduce post-construction settlement. Site constraints required relocation of an existing creek through a 90-inch diameter concrete pipe beneath the building and through the levee in two places. Flood control measures were maintained at all times during construction and the final configuration of the levee was actually incorporated into the building. Additional geotechnical aspects included the following: • A composite cantilever/reinforced earth retaining structure adjacent to the river that also served as a portion of the levee wall • The deep detention basin adjacent to the river included seepage and slope stability analyses under flood conditions • Access tunnels were designed to eliminate the accumulation of water to reduce buoyant forces • Reconfiguration of abandoned storm drains into underdrains allowed grading operations to proceed directly on the former parking surface Construction monitoring and testing services included monitoring fill placement, density testing, monitoring surcharge performance, inspection of reinforcing and structural steel, monitoring and testing concrete, floor flatness and levelness measurements (Ff/Fl), review of abandoned building demolition below grade and monitoring of asphalt pavement. An understanding of the complex subsurface conditions was required in order to assign the appropriate laboratory testing and provide the necessary analyses to determine surcharge areas and estimate postconstruction settlement.

elect Sample Project Experience tennessee titans office & practice facilities - nashville, tn When the Houston Oiler’s NFL franchise moved to Nashville to become the Tennessee Titans, TTL, Inc. was there to review the geotechnical aspects of the construction of their new practice and training facility. A location near the Cumberland River had been selected and previous studies revealed that much of the land had been used as an industrial landfill. Unsuitable materials were known to be present beneath the site, which occupied part of an urbanized flood plain that was protected by an earth levee. For the Titans facility, the selected replacement of deleterious fill, shallow ground water and the potential for settlement of the underlying natural, alluvial soils were significant factors influencing the design and construction. During construction, TTL confirmed the removal of the objectionable fill and monitored the placement and compaction of the new engineered fill used to provide stability and foundation support for the new facilities. Shot rock was used as fill material because its integrity was less affected by moisture and, therefore, it allowed for satisfactory fill construction even in wet weather and in areas subject to high moisture due to ground water. TTL installed several monitoring devices to check for and measure settlement of the fill and buildings during and after construction. TTL’s technical staff monitored and tested concrete placements and checked for proper installation of reinforcing steel. As with all routine construction monitoring projects handled by TTL, the owner and members of the project team were supplied with daily narrative accounts of the construction activities and with test reports designed to check compliance with project specifications. Both surface water and subsurface water had an impact on the design and construction. Dewatering was required for the excavation below the structure and the initial lifts of the site retaining wall had to be constructed in the water. The use of shot rock provided a sound building pad and was easy to work with around the water.

elect Sample Project Experience montgomery riverwalk stadium - montgomery, al As part of a master plan for downtown development and revitalization, a site adjacent to the new Riverfront Park in the heart of downtown Montgomery was selected for a new baseball stadium to replace the aging Patterson Field on the western edge of downtown. Historical preservation rules required minimal alteration to the existing structures. Additional site restrictions, including a railroad mainline, a major telecommunications facility, and poor subsurface conditions in some areas of the site created several design and construction challenges. In order to meet these challenges, the design team used a variety of foundation types and construction techniques at the site. Foundations varied from shallow footings to structural mats to drilled shafts. Construction techniques included the use of a surcharge on part of the site and geosynthetic grids on other parts to modify the bearing soils. The design team was challenged both by excessive rain early in the construction schedule and by several unanticipated subsurface conditions threatening to exceed the budget for land purchase, design, and construction. The incorporation of the South Wing and Headhouse buildings as components in the stadium demonstrates sustainable design and construction practices. The use of several foundation systems allowed the project to fit within the allotted site and be completed one week ahead of schedule on April 9, 2004, resulting in the cost of the project matching the $26.5 million budget. The Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium is a fine example of how the reuse of historic buildings can yield great benefits to a community and is a model of ingenuity for future engineering projects.

With Phase One of the Master Plan, including the critically important Adventure Play Park, accepted by the community and adopted by the new Dean Administration, it now requires a strategic ‘Business Plan’ to progress to the next logical phase of development. The features and benefits of the business plan created for the Nashville Riverfront are;
• It is comprehensive because it is based upon an intimate knowledge of the site and the stakeholders from the previous Concept Plan study – so the probability of a very successful outcome is greater, • It includes mechanisms to manage the potential risks of unknown information that may present itself during the field work – so the workflow can continue while adjusting to new conditions or new opportunities, • It enables the schematic design of the entire site to run concurrently with the design development and contract documentation of the Adventure Playground – so the project can break ground next year and be the first of many projects to follow, • It proposes regular project meetings in Nashville once a month – so that progress can be measured and management adapted, • It proposes to complete the documentation and permitting of the Adventure Playground within 8 months from notice to proceed – so the review time for the permit will not hold up subsequent implementation projects.
CORE GROUP SCOPE Project Lead – the integration of all the various aspects of the project from cultural, to economic to environmental with the unique nature of the site is needed. The “big picture” is important not only to ensure coordination of all the disciplines, stakeholders and agencies but also because the end user will experience the completed site as one place. The “big picture” will also enable the phased implementation of projects like a jig-saw puzzle enabling all the parts to fit together. The Project Lead-- will also handle the cost estimate. Architecture – the Phase One of the Master Plan calls for piers, overlooks and pavilions that must relate to their unique Nashville surroundings. All of these elements that interconnect with the river must also address the extreme fluctuations of the water level – a worthy design challenge for our team of creative minds. The architect will focus in on what the program is for the buildings and structures to develop an overall look and feel for them in relation to their unique Nashville context. Once the “family” of structures is developed the NABRICO Building’s interconnectivity to the other Riverfront Park elements will be developed further. The architect will also handle code compliance. Landscape Architecture – the riverfront has many landscape typologies that need developing. There are the riparian river banks subject to erosion and flooding, the higher flood plain area subject to intense use by people and the Urban Forest subject to vehicle use. Public Participation – in the wake of the Plan of Nashville, the Concept Plan attracted a wide audience of the general public and also specific user groups like boaters. For the plan to succeed these same people and then new people need to participate in a meaningful way at several key points of the design process. Marine Engineering – structures in or on the water need to take in forces that are different to normal structures. An understanding of flooding, sedimentation, settlement, piling and vessel navigation is necessary. The use of hydrological computer models to demonstrate “no-rise” flood impact for the entire project is also needed. The Marine Engineer and Design Lead will handle the USCAE permit applications with significant input by the local project team engineers.
FIELD GROUP SCOPE Hydrographic/Sonar – while the USACE has bathometry for the river bottom we propose to undertake supplementary hydrographic and sonar survey to identify any obstructions to navigation and/or dredging and to identify any potential sunken vessels or structures of a cultural resource interest. The river bottom data will be compared to the data used in the flood modeling. Cultural Resource Survey – with adjacent listed historic districts, eligible structures, early settlement and the rich Native American History, an assessment of cultural resources and any potential impacts will be necessary for the design processes, USACE permit and SHPO jurisdiction. Topographic Survey – although some areas have been surveyed before, the existing data is an incomplete patchwork done in different years to different datum. We propose that a new topographic survey be completed for the entire project area to serve as a baseline for design and future construction. We have already issued a detailed subconsultant RFP for this work. Ecological Survey – although a disturbed urban location, the site needs to be checked for any endangered species and/ or federally defined wetlands. Ecology is also important to mitigate any adverse impacts in a way that is integral to the design. Geotechnical Investigation – while not strictly required for schematic design or permitting it is important to understand the nature of the substrate in critical locations where structures or steep slopes are proposed. This is really bringing
more expensive fieldwork up sooner into the design process to ensure feasibility is tested and the estimate reliable. We have already issued a detailed subconsultant RFP for this work which includes both borings on land as well as in the river.
SUPPORT GROUP SCOPE Remediation Engineering – the site has had an initial screening by an un-yet published EPA/USACE/TDEC investigation. The area of most concern is probably limited to the east bank adjacent the Korean Veterans Bridge. If the State or Metro determines the need for a remedial action plan in this area then we have allowed for it. Stormwater Engineering – as a riverfront project the quality of the water entering the river is very important. We will ensure that water quality is improved whether it is in a landscape, in a pipe, on a road or even in a parking lot. The use of hydrologic models to show pollutant removal rates need to be developed to inform the design. Sustainability – besides the obvious LEED standards for park buildings, the design should also look at developing sustainability targets to conserve resources, reduce waste and emissions for the construction and operation of the park as a whole. Traffic Engineering – the modifications of bridges to improve the pedestrian and bicycle experience is needed. This needs to be balanced against the needs of vehicles and traffic flow. Any modification to existing parking lots will also need a strong understanding of traffic flows for weekdays, weekends and special events. Lighting Design – the design of the night time experience is so important for riverfronts to ensure safe pedestrian activity but also to enhance the reflections of the city and the bridges on the water. Downtowns have a lot of spillover light so light measurements of existing light levels in the parks, on the roads and on the bridges will be taken to assess additional needs. Waterfeature Design – the Concept Plan features two features. One is integrated into the playground and the other is a large fountain in the river. A particular knowledge of water and its effects are needed to ensure a solution that works and is maintainable in a sustainable way. Mechanical , Electrical & Plumbing – as the park program develops, systems to supply essential utilities will need to be integrated with the architecture and landscape architecture not only for buildings but also for plug-and-play event nodes. Structural Engineer – as the park pavilions and piers develop, structural systems need to inform the design to ensure feasibility and an integrated solution. The intent is that the structural systems will be expressed rather than masked. Graphic Design/Multimedia Consultant – A “wayfinding consultant”- in the traditional sense- is probably too narrow of a role for a cutting edge riverfront. So, we’ve brought aboard a multi-media design partner to work with the rest of the project team of designers and engineers to enrich the riverfront experience, through a variety of possible platforms – real and/or virtual kiosks, interactive media/mobile technology, graphic design/identity, etc. In short, we’re looking to experiment with the possibilities of what “wayfinding” and “interpretation” can mean for Nashville.

3. SCHEMATIC DESIGN-New Riverfront Park Plan A. Objectives: This phase is critical for refining the approved phase one master plan design intent, but still schematically at the scale of the whole project site on both banks of the Cumberland River as illustrated in Exhibit A of the RFQ. Concurrently, the Adventure Play Park will proceed from its approved schematic design through Design Development, Construction Documentation, Bidding and Construction Administration at the scale of components and/or subsystems. The primary objectives of the Schematic Design Phase are to: • Verify and refine program requirements from previous design phases, • Update relevant information and understanding, • Inform field service work, • Create and explore the most promising alternative design solutions, • Arrive at a clear, feasible design for the project site as whole and its dependant sub-components, • Communicate the design in a way that assists the client in making value-based decisions, • Set expectations and directions for subsequent design phases. Information Needed to Start: City design standards / guidelines / codes, recent bid unit prices on other similar projects, GIS/CAD standards (if required). Potential Uncertainties & Risks: making assumptions in the absence of late or unavailable information to complete the phase in time, tolerance of the creative process, the possibility of discovering an extremely valuable idea beyond the level of effort implicit in the scope of work, getting stuck in “analysis paralysis”, decision maker’s state of mind and absentee decision makers. Additional Services Not Included: comparative analysis beyond 3 alternatives, re-presenting, physical presentation models, 3D presentation models & animations, LEED certification, energy analysis, life cycle assessment
B. Process: Beginning intent: To diverge, scan, engage, immerse, understand, observe, question, ask, listen, learn, extract and establish. The beginning focuses more on the current state than the future state. Middle intent: To speculate, imagine, create, explore, study, innovate, discover, reflect and update. The middle focuses more on the processes of change and the alternative transformations of the place. End intent: To converge, consolidate, refine, evaluate, compare, judge, decide and act. The end of the phase focuses more on the preferred future state than the current state.

4. PERMIT APPLICATION PHASE- New Riverfront Park Plan A. Objectives: The primary objectives of the Permit Application Phase are to assist the client in: • Defining which State & Federal permits require long lead times, • Determine who the lead agencies are and what their fees are, • Formulate a permitting strategy, • Coordinate with the agencies, • Coordinate Field Services for supporting documentation to applications, • Inform the evolving design, • Complete application forms and supporting documentation. This phase is critical for expediting the implementation of projects within the 1 in 100 yr flood plain that potentially impact water quality, flooding, navigation, cultural or ecological resources. Without these approvals, projects can not be built. The applications must represent the maximum possible impacts of the design as only minor revisions to either the application and/or the permit are possible after the submittal. Anticipated approval agencies include the following, • USACE United States Army Corps of Engineers • USCG United States Coast Guard • FWS United States Fish & Wildlife Service • FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency • SHPO State Historic Preservation Office • TDEC Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Information Needed to Start: who the “applicant” shall be, list of permits applied for in the last 5 years. Potential Uncertainties & Risks: agency’s determination of “area of potential effect” could extend beyond project boundaries, the extent of public comments and/or objections is unpredictable, agency processing time is not guaranteed, and agencies may impose non-standard conditions of approval requiring design changes. Additional Services Not Included: detailed negotiations, requests for more supporting information while agencies review applications, Memoranda of Agreements regarding cultural resources and permit fees.
