that the solicitation did not advertise in the Orlando Sentinel on August 6, 2023 as indicated in the

Answers to questions received and/or amendments to the RFQ Documents are as follows:
Q1. Would a cover, dividers, and table of contents count towards the page limit?
A1. No.

we include the anticipated project workload of our key staff members as the firm's workload
includes hundreds of projects?
A2. Yes. Please include the current and projected workload of the firm’s key staff members for
this contract.

that if needed due to space, we are allowed to use a font smaller than 12pt, specifically for the
resumes?
A7. It is not the intention of the City to place extreme page-count restrictions on respondents
as the city will not be counting the number of pages in each submission; however,
submissions should be approximately 40 pages. Regarding the font size, 12-point font (if
possible) is requested for ease of reading the documents.

RE: Continuing Contract for Transportation Planning Consulting Services; RFQ #23-008
Dear Ms. Hopper and Members of the Evaluation Committee:
We applaud the City of Ocoee’s efforts to help ensure transportation impacts are
identified and prioritized while considering surrounding land uses and development
patterns. During this period of growth in the City, you need a consultant that offers
forward-thinking solutions—that consultant is Kimley-Horn. We have assembled
a multidisciplinary team of engineers, planners, and designers with a passion
for transportation and a track record of implementation. Our core leadership and
supporting professionals have the skills and expertise your projects demand. More
importantly, we have formed relationships with the City and have partnered with you
on a number of projects, positioning us to represent your best interests in various
task assignments with context and institutional knowledge.
As you consider a transportation planning consultant, please keep the
following merits of Kimley-Horn in mind:
A Deep Bench of Resources. Our team consists of a diverse group of
transportation, safety, and mobility experts who are certified planners and engineers. A multidisciplinary perspective
provides well-rounded planning solutions with the final design and implementation in mind. We have structured our team
to include experts in not only the scope of services, but also support type services and specialties that tend to relate to
resolving transportation issues and needs—including GIS, resiliency, and market economics. Our depth of resources and
knowledge will empower the City to plan for its future transportation needs so that it will continue to prosper
as a safe, attractive, and enjoyable place to live.
A Uniquely Qualified and Dedicated Project Manager. As Project Manager for your previous Transportation Planning
Consultant Services Contract, James Taylor, P.E., is acutely familiar with the City of Ocoee. He has built relationships with
your staff and understands your workload and priorities as well as your preference for certain proprietary products. James
will remain heavily involved in production, not only overseeing the staff and project, but will be responsible for all work
production, scheduling, staffing, and quality assurance. James has a vested interest in continually improving the
City’s transportation system and preserving its unique character.
We Understand Your Scope of Work. Kimley-Horn has extensive experience with and excels in local municipal continuing
services contracts all over the state of Florida, including Volusia, Osceola, Orange, and Brevard counties, as well as the cities of
Longwood, Lakeland, Winter Park, Maitland, Winter Springs, Casselberry, and Orlando, among others. The Kimley-Horn team has
and will continue to provide best practices and regional perspectives from our engagement with your partners such as the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) and MetroPlan Orlando. We understand the processes and procedures through similar
contracts where Kimley-Horn staff on multiple levels have worked and interacted with various municipality staff.
We are Local, Trustworthy, and Available. Kimley-Horn is dedicated to the City of Ocoee. Our involvement in the
community, our experience working shoulder-to-shoulder with your staff, and our depth of local resources means we have
the knowledge and expertise to help you reach your goals. Our local office, just a 20-minute drive from the City’s

YOUR PARTNER IN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
For 56 years, Kimley-Horn has provided planning and engineering consulting services
to clients nationwide since its founding by transportation engineers in Raleigh, North
Carolina. In the early 1970s, the firm built an impressive track record in regional and
urban area transportation planning, traffic impact analysis, parking planning and design,
traffic control system design, and statewide and local traffic operations and safety
studies. During this period, the firm also added practices in structural, highway, and
bridge design, as well as airport planning and design. Since then, Kimley-Horn has grown
into a nationwide full-service engineering consulting firm with over 7,300 employees
nationwide. We’ve been established in Orlando since 1980 and have served in
similar transportation planning and engineering roles for the City of Ocoee and
surrounding cities in Central Florida. Our Orlando office, just a 20-minute drive from
the City’s offices, has a transportation group ready to serve on this contract.
Kimley-Horn knows that when you choose a consulting firm, you are really choosing the people who will bring you technical
expertise, hands-on experience with similar projects, and a commitment to timely, first-rate deliverables and client
service. Kimley-Horn has assembled a team that includes a balance of expertise in multi-modal transportation and active
transportation network planning with a team that has a history of working together and working in Central Florida.
EXPERTISE IN SCOPE OF SERVICES
Transportation Planning
For over five decades, Kimley-Horn has been studying and improving the transportation network in Florida as a consultant to cities,
counties, and transportation planning organizations (TPOs)/metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). Established by transportation
planners and traffic engineers, Kimley-Horn has become a leading consultant in planning regional and statewide transportation
systems, corridor studies, transportation demand management programs, and transportation impact analysis. The firm has assisted
numerous local and state agencies in developing short- and long-range transportation plans and programs as well as multimodal
master plans. Kimley-Horn’s knowledge of Florida’s transportation regulations, policies, and procedures is unsurpassed. As we have
learned from our vast experience, agency coordination is a significant aspect of all types of transportation planning and engineering
tasks. We have worked on transportation planning projects directly with Central Florida clients such as the City of Ocoee, Osceola
County, Polk County, City of Titusville, City of Winter Park, River to Sea TPO, and FDOT District Five — to name a few.

Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Review
Preparing and reviewing traffic impact analyses has been a major part of our profession since our founding in 1967. We
understand that transportation impacts must be quantified and documented based on an analysis that considers how many trips
are generated, how they are assigned to the transportation system, and over what time periods. Existing traffic and future
conditions, with and without the project, must be considered. Kimley-Horn engineers have conducted numerous TIA Reviews for
the City of Ocoee and other Central Florida clients such as Osceola County and the City of Winter Springs.
Traffic Operations and Design
Kimley-Horn offers complete in-house traffic engineering services in the areas of preparation and review of traffic impact studies,
traffic calming studies, speed zoning studies, safety and operations studies, accident analysis, pedestrian safety programs,
parking studies, site access and circulation studies, traffic signal communication and system integration design, at-grade crossing
operations and design, intersection geometric design, signing/striping and street improvement plans, and general consultation
in traffic engineering. Kimley-Horn also has extensive experience using traffic analysis and modeling software including Synchro,
SIDRA, Highway Capacity Software (HCS), Traffix, and VISSIM.
Our professionals have experience approaching a comprehensive analysis from both macroscopic (system planning) and
microscopic perspectives (design issues and operations at specific locations). Using these tools, we can model a microscopic
traffic network to determine the interactions between adjacent intersections and produce an animated, graphical display of
traffic conditions.
Our experience also includes numerous roadway design projects for which we have been responsible for traffic operations
improvements such as signalization, signing and marking, roundabouts, and intersection design; highway safety studies; and the
full range of related traffic engineering services that enable us to address any traffic operations situation. The number of critical
intersections in Florida that Kimley-Horn has evaluated or currently has under contract totals nearly 1,500.
Roadway/Multimodal Design
Roadway and intersection planning and design is one of the mainstays of our firm’s professional practice, and we have provided
these services for urban, rural, primary, secondary, and interstate roadways for clients ranging from municipalities to state
departments of transportation. Kimley-Horn makes the most of its vast traffic operations knowledge and experience to serve
our clients better with their roadway design projects. We know that providing design services to our clients goes beyond simply
providing plans, specifications, and estimates, but includes an appreciation for how the project fits within the functionality of the
roadway network. This understanding allows Kimley-Horn to provide our clients with reasonable and practical design solutions that
will not detract from the functionality of the roadway network. Our in-house staff is equipped to address all aspects of roadway
design projects, including intersection geometrics, utility relocations, traffic control, signalizations, signing and marking, structural/
bridge design, paving, drainage, and erosion control. In addition, we have extensive experience dealing with local regulatory and
other agencies to secure the permits and approvals necessary for the building and upgrading of roadway facilities.
Kimley-Horn’s wide spectrum of transportation planning experience includes the following:
»Long-range transportation plans
»Transit development planning
»Active transportation/mulitmodal planning
»Transportation/mobility fee updates
»Transportation demand modeling
»Corridor studies
»Feasibility studies
»Public involvement
»Geographic information systems (GIS)
»Congestion management
»Transportation demand management
»Transportation control measures
»Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)

Comprehensive Planning
Kimley-Horn approaches comprehensive planning with a core purpose in mind: to facilitate a process for informed decision
making aligned with community values and vision, community development strategies, and urban design and transportation
priorities. Kimley-Horn’s planning staff has a wide range of experience with all aspects of comprehensive planning for several
public and private clients. Our knowledge of critical planning elements, such as public participation, community visioning,
regulatory and policy planning, entitlements, comprehensive plans, land use scenario planning, implementation strategies,
cultural and natural resources, intergovernmental coordination indicates that our work is truly comprehensive in scope. Our
staff has also developed numerous zoning, subdivision, overlay district, and planned unit development ordinances. In addition,
our team is experienced in assisting or completing special studies for communities ranging from land use and infrastructure
analysis, small area plans, corridor plans, peer reviews/application reviews for projects, and Complete Streets projects.
Community Redevelopment Areas (CRA) Support
Kimley-Horn supports the mission of CRAs and has been successfully providing services to a large number of CRAs and
cities throughout Florida for decades including Largo, Zephyrhills, New Smyrna Beach, Charlotte County, and Cape Canaveral.
Under-capitalization of CRA initiatives need not be the driving force in limiting or narrowing the redevelopment vision. At
Kimley-Horn, we not only help CRAs and communities create a vision, we get them built. No firm in Florida can match our
track record of implementation and completed construction projects in Community Redevelopment Areas. With over $100
million of built urban redevelopment initiatives—and another $50 million in the planning stage—we have an excellent
working knowledge of how to be successful. In addition, our experience gives us the unique ability to help a CRA use their
funds to leverage additional funding sources—in fact, our typical project has six to eight different funding sources. Our work
with CRAs has included master planning, land use, zoning, civil engineering, and project team management. Our experience
with these agencies and through implementation of the Master Plans has given Kimley-Horn a tremendous working
knowledge of Florida Statutes Chapter 163, Part III.
Land Development Code
When working with our clients, we provide revisions to the codes in the form of an adoptable ordinance, including all
applicable regulating plans. Our approach is for the team to meet with City staff at the start of the code development effort
to confirm the desired direction, format, and procedures. This session will allow the team to ensure that key elements of the
proposed code are fully understood and agreed on before full drafting of the code begins.
Our team believes that codes and implementation principles must be tailored to the communities they serve. To
accomplish this, we always keep the following in mind:
• Administrative Capacity: Different communities have different abilities to administer. Codes should only contain
elements that administering staff can understand, apply, and enforce.
• Balance: Codes must balance the need to prevent undesirable development with desire to allow for creativity. As
both designers and coders, we understand this balance—where regulation is appropriate, and where it isn’t.
• Flexibility: As part of achieving balance, flexibility must also be considered, especially in projects that are phased
over many years.
• Existing Regulations: How a proposed code is shaped by existing regulations is critical. New codes must
consider existing zoning and other regulatory plans.

Traffic Counts and Data Collection
Kimley-Horn is a full-service multidisciplinary consulting firm, but our team is strengthened by partnering with a cohesive
subconsultant who has decades of experience working with Kimley-Horn on similar transportation planning projects to
provide the services required for the City of Ocoee.
Our data collection subconsultant, Accurate Traffic Counts, Inc. (ATC), has provided traffic data collection services in Florida
for over 30 years. ATC personnel and hardware resources allow them to handle large and small fast-track workloads in
a timely fashion and within short notice. ATC staff is both knowledgeable of data collection standards and committed to
accurate traffic counts on schedule. All counts are reviewed by a professional engineer before submission to the client.
Our approach to data collection will be to use the latest technology to perform data collection activities while maintaining
quality control procedures to ensure the highest level of accuracy. Analysis techniques will be based on the specific work
assignment. Kimley-Horn has extensive experience including intersection operational analysis, corridor signal timing analysis,
crash analysis, and corridor analysis to support the City of Ocoee.
Grant Support
Kimley-Horn understands that obtaining successful funding and the identification of potential public and private sources is critical to
your projects, and we will work to identify alternative funding and financing strategies within multiple categories. The Kimley-Horn
team often deals with the complex regulations tied to the local use of federal funding and has been successful in obtaining grants
for a number of municipalities. The Kimley-Horn project team will provide insight into the opportunities available, and the procedures
required to obtain funding.
Kimley-Horn has provided assistance to our clients resulting in more than $275 million in grants and outside funding in the
state of Florida. We have developed a resource library of information on state and federal funding sources and will assist you
in making the most of available resources.
Safety
Kimley-Horn provides comprehensive traffic safety services including local road safety plans, systemic safety evaluations,
road safety audits, Safe Routes to Schools, project and grant development, Vision Zero strategies, and other focused studies
to help reduce traffic injuries and fatalities throughout the country. Consistent with our firm’s desire to be a positive force for
change in our communities and to provide exceptional client service, Kimley-Horn was one of the primary sponsors of a new
certification process available for transportation engineers—the Road Safety Professional certification. Kimley-Horn takes a
proactive approach to safety analysis. We use historical collision data to identify roadway characteristics and driver behaviors
that are associated with injury and fatal crashes in a given city, county, or region. We then develop customized
countermeasure toolboxes to address those specific characteristics to aid in widespread funding and implementation. Our
safety team works closely with traffic operations, roadway design, and mobility planning teams to facilitate that safety
improvements are combined with efforts to improve the transportation system for all users.
Bike/Pedestrian Planning
As metropolitan urban areas continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become
integral components of roadway and transportation system designs as well as infrastructure improvements in general.
Revitalizing commercial districts, controlling traffic flows, and providing recreational areas and pedestrian and bicycle
facilities in increasingly congested areas are some of the streetscape solutions designed by our landscape architects and
planners. Kimley-Horn has extensive experience in downtown redevelopment and streetscape projects and a well-earned
reputation for combining creative ideas, technical excellence, and client collaboration resulting in dynamic projects that blend
into their environments and become a part of the area they inhabit.

SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE
The Kimley-Horn staff has a wide range of experience with all aspects of transportation planning for many public and private
clients. The following demonstrates similar projects that are ongoing or have been completed within the past three years:
Transportation Planning Consulting Services
City of Ocoee
Kimley-Horn is currently providing numerous Transportation Planning Consulting
Services for the City of Ocoee. Completed services include updating the city’s
transportation impact analysis (TIA) methodology and concurrency management
system (CMS) data to streamline traffic study reviews. Kimley-Horn has
reviewed numerous traffic studies submitted to the city for application review,
represented the city at the development review committee and at public
hearings, and performed additional analyses to evaluate roadway segment and
intersection capacity within the city. Other services include the management of
traffic count collection and the development of geographic information system
(GIS) tools for quick reference to area traffic counts, current level-of-service
(LOS), and other multimodal network attributes. Kimley-Horn has also assisted
with an update to the city’s Transportation Element and prepared the city’s
Annual Traffic Report.
Other projects performed under this contract are as follows:
Clarke Road Corridor Study. Kimley-Horn has performed a corridor study
of Clarke Road from SR 50 to Clarcona Ocoee Road to develop updated signal
timings and intersection approach geometries to address corridor delays and multimodal safety concerns. The study
recommended updated signal timings and coordination at seven (7) intersections which, after implementation, resulted in
a significant reduction in corridor travel time during peak commuter hours.
S. Bluford Avenue and Geneva Street Roundabout Control. With a strong focus on quality, timeliness, and cost
efficiency, Kimley-Horn provided administrative support, conducted a thorough traffic operational analysis, and developed
a comprehensive roundabout concept in line with the Bluford Avenue Corridor Study plans and design year traffic
volumes. Our team diligently assessed various alignment alternatives and implemented NCHRP guidelines to ensure
optimal roundabout performance.
Comprehensive Plan Update Support Services. Kimley-Horn is currently providing comprehensive support services
for updating the City of Ocoee’s Transportation Element in its Comprehensive Plan. Our scope includes reviewing the
current Transportation Element, preparing a Data, Inventory, and Analysis (DIA), and updating the Goals, Objectives,
and Policies (GOPs). We will ensure consistency with State requirements and work closely with city staff, providing
regular progress updates.

Continuing Planning and Transportation Services
Osceola County
Kimley-Horn is providing professional services to Osceola
County under several continuing services contracts for
transportation services. Completed tasks include an evaluation
of the County’s long-range transportation system needs with a
focus on multimodal solutions leading to a significant rewrite
of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Kimley-Horn has also
assisted in the master planning of several large districts within
the County and conducted the Southport Connector Feasibility
Study. Currently, we are also providing engineering review
of private sector transportation studies and development
of regional impact (DRI) modifications. Reviews include an
evaluation of comprehensive plan amendments, compliance
with access management standards, driveway and auxiliary
lane design, level of service performance, proportionate share
mitigation, and mobility solutions.
Pleasant Hill/Clay Street Areawide Study. Kimley-Horn
conducted an areawide planning study involving multiple
municipalities to evaluate future transportation impacts
of a 230-acre community service area (park, schools,
police department, utility service provider, City and County
offices). Kimley-Horn staff met with various stakeholders to
collect data to develop short-term and long-term land use,
access, and roadway network scenarios. Future operational
assessments were then performed to determine ideal
driveway locations and design, and off-site improvements. Several follow-up presentations and plan iterations resulted in
a favorable outcome for stakeholders. Challenges included signal timing coordination and pre-emption in close proximity
to railroad tracks, multiple school vehicle loops and accesses, and consensus building between several parties.
Osceola Parkway Arterial Analysis. Kimley-Horn conducted an extensive analysis to identify short-term, medium-
term, and long-term projects to improve operating characteristics on Osceola Parkway, from Flora Boulevard to
Florida’s Turnpike. Analyses were performed to evaluate safety, access management, signal timings and phasing,
turn lane lengths, a preliminary signal warrant analysis, and TSMO alternatives. An engineer’s opinion of probable
construction costs was prepared.

Plan, aka Orange Avenue Corridor Study)
City of Winter Park
Kimley-Horn has provided a variety of transportation planning and transportation
engineering services to the City of Winter Park, including updates to the City’s
Transportation Element, development of a Mobility Plan, and a corridor study for Orange
Avenue. The Orange Avenue Corridor Study included public involvement, an assessment
of existing conditions, development of best practices, evaluation and recommendations
of specific concepts in support of the Orange Avenue Overlay District. Improvement
recommendations include a lane reduction, pedestrian improvements, turn lane
modifications, and roundabouts at two key locations. An operational assessment has
been completed for 16 intersections in Winter Park, along and adjacent to Orlando

SR 526 (Robinson Street) from Hughey Avenue to Crystal Lake Drive, Orlando, FL
FDOT District Five
Kimley-Horn is part of the Greenman-Pedersen, Inc (GPI) team that was
selected by FDOT District Five for the SR 526 (Robinson Street) from
Hughey Avenue to Crystal Lake Drive corridor improvement project in the
City of Orlando. The project modifies the typical section of the four-lane
undivided roadway through Downtown Orlando to be a three-lane roadway
with a two-way left turn lane and a raised left turn lane, depending on
the context of the corridor. The project implements speed management
techniques, improves pedestrian and bicyclist safety, and mitigates
existing safety concerns through the use of raised left turn lanes, tabled
intersections, bulb outs, on-street parking, midblock pedestrian crossings
with RRFBs, sidewalk and curb ramp improvements, access management,
and installation of a shared use path and cycle track.
Orlando Health Parking Study
Orlando Health
Kimley-Horn is currently working on the Orlando Health Parking Study project, which involves reanalyzing parking demand
at six existing facilities and analyzing parking demand at three new facilities to understand local peak parking demands for
three types of land use - hospital, medical office building (MOB), and free-standing emergency department (FSED). Our team
is performing new data collection at the nine locations and incorporating previous data to document parking demand findings
for the specified land use types. The parking demand assessment covers hospitals, MOB complexes, and FSEDs, with
detailed data collection methodology and analyses conducted in accordance with industry practices. Kimley-Horn collects
12-hour parking demand data on three typical weekdays at each site and summarizes the results in a draft report for review
before finalization. The study provides valuable insights into existing weekday time-of-day parking demand characteristics
and average peak parking demand per gross area of land use at each site, supporting Orlando Health in optimizing its
parking infrastructure for better accessibility and convenience.

Nova Road Corridor Coalition
FDOT District Five
Kimley-Horn is currently working on the Nova Road Corridor Coalition project for FDOT District 5. Our main focus is on
studying Nova Road (SR 5A) from a community perspective, addressing critical safety and traffic operational issues, with
special attention to the segment between south of Granada Blvd (US 40) and north of Wilmette Avenue. We are considering
surrounding land use, business access, and traffic demands to develop detailed concept alternatives that prioritize safety,
multimodal accessibility, and streetscaping, aligned with the community’s needs and preferences. Throughout the process,
we will build consensus within the community to support the implementation of effective roadway design and improvements.
Our approach also emphasizes avoiding right-of-way acquisitions for near-term improvements and minimizing drainage
impacts, while introducing
landscape and hardscape
features to enhance
the driving experience
and create a visually
appealing environment for
pedestrians and cyclists.

Creative Village Mobility Plan
City of Orlando
Kimley-Horn developed a mobility plan for a 68-acre
urban master-planned development in Downtown
Orlando, known as Creative Village. Partnering with the
City, the Creative Village Mobility Plan was developed
to prioritize pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes in
the area using the latest multimodal design practices.
The Plan recognizes and incorporates elements of the
Creative Village Streetscape Design Guidelines, the
Parramore Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, Project
DTO Vision Plan, and the Creative Village Infrastructure
Master Plan. Gateways envisioned for the area include
seamless connection to existing bus rapid transit and
traditional bus circulator systems, light rail stations, a
regional transit hub, bike lanes, sidewalks, and trails.
The intent of the Mobility Plan is to create a road map to
making Creative Village an exemplary model of urbanism
and transit-oriented development, which aims to raise
the bar for Orlando’s transit network. Future developers of Creative Village will use the Mobility Plan as a guide for smart
and efficient development that incorporates emerging technology and multimodal design features. The mobility strategies
identified in the plan set aspirational designs and outcomes that encourage good urban design and planning to reduce
vehicle miles traveled.
The incorporation of plan strategies establish Creative Village as a true transit-oriented development, and in doing so, set the
standard for similar urban infill projects in Downtown Orlando.
Kimley-Horn represented the master developer with the adoption of the Creative Village Mobility Plan by the Creative Village
Development Review Committee and the City of Orlando Board of City Commissioners in 2017. Kimley-Horn has since
advised several developers in implementing multimodal strategies within the area to be consistent with the Mobility Plan.
The Creative Village Mobility Plan was developed to prioritize
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes.

CURRENT AND PROJECTED WORKLOAD
The team members we have assembled for our core team are all available by phone at any time and most of the team is based
in our Orlando offices just 20 minutes away from Ocoee City Hall. Kimley-Horn’s local staff is backed by more than 1,300
employees in 20 Florida offices, and more than 7,300 employees nationwide. We are confident that we can meet the technical
and manpower needs anticipated for this contract with the right expertise for each role. It is part of the firm’s philosophy not to
operate individual offices as profit centers. Rather, we make it a practice to share our depth of resources firmwide.
One of the ways Kimley-Horn confirms the proper resources are dedicated to
specific projects is through the use of a proactive, proprietary management system
known as “Castaheads.” This system details every project’s personnel needs,
staff availability, and confirms that the project team is committed to complete the
various assignments as evaluated monthly. Internal production meetings are held
weekly to enable staff, task managers, and project managers to stay up to date
regarding current and projected workloads. We know the importance of meeting
our clients’ deadlines and proactively take the necessary steps that enable us to confidently commit to meeting yours. With
our depth of staff and ability to activate resources from other offices, we can confirm that each milestone of this project is
completed on-time. Our team is committed to serving the City of Ocoee. Below are projects currently underway for our
proposed project management team, as well as their availability to undertake additional work.

ABILITY TO DELIVER PROJECT ON TIME AND WITHIN BUDGET
We recognize that schedule and budgetary control are critical to the success of your program.
Meeting your schedule for deliverables is not just a goal to us—it is a mandate. A project schedule
is a road map guiding us to a goal, completion of a project by a certain date. This is additionally
critical when funding is tied to time-based sources such as grant awards. But, experience has
shown that no matter how carefully we plan, things can change. How successfully we adapt
to those changes is in part a result of how well we manage our resources and understand the
demands on them, both internal and external.
Kimley-Horn has a track record of successfully completing projects on or ahead of schedule and within budget.
This success is due, in part, to each project schedule and budget being assertively communicated to the project team by the
Project Manager. Kimley-Horn takes pride in evaluating any unanticipated obstacles and making informed recommendations
to overcome them before they impact the project’s schedule and budget. In addition to our proactive communication, Kimley-
Horn uses a “work plan” tool for organizing individual project tasks by phase and discipline. The anticipated labor effort is
then summarized in a matrix that forms the basis for establishing and tracking the project budget. We track the budget on
a percent-complete basis in order to measure performance during each accounting report period. The work plan is also the
tool for establishing staffing and identifying the anticipated labor requirements of each task or phase.
To assist our Project Managers in efficient administration of projects, Kimley-Horn maintains a detailed, integrated management
information system (MIS). This system, designed primarily to focus on schedule adherence and cost control, has proven to be a
valuable tool. The project begins with the preparation of a detailed schedule that includes milestone completion dates for specific
tasks tied to a work plan that allocates person-hour commitments by individual for each task. The MIS generates a Project Effort
Report twice a month, showing actual effort expended by task. This internal control allows us to make, on a timely basis, any
adjustments that may be necessary to maintain your schedule and stay within your budget.
TRACK RECORD OF ADDING VALUE TO PREVIOUS TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROJECTS AND EFFORTS
Kimley-Horn has a long history of providing successful, innovative, and cost-efficient
solutions and takes pride in thinking beyond preconceived notions to develop innovative
solutions that exceed the expectations of our clients. We always look for better and more
creative ways to do our jobs and provide ideas to enhance or improve our initiatives. We
don’t necessarily follow the crowd and use every new technique simply because it’s the “in
thing” to do. Our professional team evaluates emerging technology and applies it where it
can benefit our projects. Kimley-Horn brings open-minded innovation, schedule-focused
efficient project delivery, and an unrivaled understanding of each client we serve. Kimley-
Horn strives to anticipate and meet evolving client needs and leverage new and
unexpected innovations to grow our reputation as a trusted advisor to our clients.
Kimley-Horn’s own planning professionals
created PublicCoordinate to make
public engagement a simple, affordable, and streamlined step in public or private
development projects. PublicCoordinate is an interactive map-based platform where
you can share project information with the public to gather feedback. This allows
you to customize your own projects, translate content into multiple languages,
upload project photos to the map, share multiple alternatives on different
layers, and export formatted reports with summary analytics on the comments.
PublicCoordinate can be used for a wide variety of projects and is a great tool
for soliciting input on a municipal project with multiple alternatives.
Example of PublicCoordinate’s user-
friendly screen that teams, clients, and
stakeholders can use to make comments
and view alternatives.

Re: RFQ #23-008 Continuing Contract for Transportation Planning Consulting Services
Dear Selection Committee Members,
HDR is excited about the opportunity to serve the City of Ocoee on the Continuing Contract for Transportation Planning
Consulting Services. We understand the importance that projects under these types of contracts play in the overall
development, programming and implementation of a variety of transportation projects and studies.
We present to you an Orlando-based team that has the capability, capacity and enthusiasm to deliver a broad range of
transportation planning and professional services. This team is led by Nick Lepp, AICP CTP, supported by a local Central
Florida team of planners, designers, engineers and strategic communicators, and also includes Quality Counts, LLC to
fulfill all the needs of the city.
With more than 12,000 employee-owners, working in 200+ locations around the world, and a nationally acclaimed
firm, we believe in doing things right to make great things possible. This philosophy has enabled us to successfully
deliver innovative and sound transportation solutions. Our team is unparalleled in quality and depth with deep roots in
Florida, where we have nine offices, more than 450 staff members, and 80+ Planning, GIS, and Strategic Communication
professionals that have exclusively served public sector clients and are conflict free. This staff is well-versed across
disciplines and can be mobilized to address project needs as they arise.
We believe that collaboration and communication are key, especially on task work order based contracts with tight
schedules. Our team will work as an extension of City staff as you address issues in transportation planning.
Below are some of the benefits the HDR Team can provide to the City of Ocoee:
• A project manager with extensive transportation planning experience in the region, throughout Central Florida, and
for the City of Ocoee.
• A project team with specific local transportation planning expertise to properly advise the City on the planning and
implementation of projects under this contract.
• A national transportation planning practice that supports best practices from around the nation, and subject matter
experts specifically gathered to support the City of Ocoee.
• A reputation for superior client service, proven through our past similar projects with Central Florida municipal
governments, counties and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
• A corporation that values sustainability and alternative modes of transportation.
The key to the success of these assignments is to choose a team that not only has the technical capability to complete
the project or assignment, but one that also has the background and experience to do it effectively by using existing
resources and maintaining communication with the right people at the right time throughout the process. The City of
Ocoee needs a team that understands your goals and is enthusiastic about helping you achieve them. HDR is that team.
We look forward to working with you throughout this important contract.

Approach to Performing Tasks
Continuing Contract for Transportation Planning Consulting Services | Tab 1 | Qualifications and Response to Scope of Services
We Understand the Challenge
The HDR Team is in an excellent position to help the City of Ocoee
find new ways to address challenges, leverage advantages, and
maximize the value of existing and planned policies and investments.
Our experience across the region allows us to quickly understand
issues and opportunities and work towards the definition of
sustainable solutions for the City and its diverse community. We are
a team of planners, engineers, designers, and communicators who
understand the full life cycle of a project, from visioning and planning
through design, construction and operations. We are truly excited
about this opportunity to serve as your Continuing Transportation
Planning Consultant, as defined in the Request for Qualifications. Included in this section is an overall approach to the various scope elements described in the RFQ along with areas where HDR staff has assisted public sector clients with transportation planning support across Central Florida.
We Have a Process & Plan
Our team leaders have decades of experience supporting planning
contracts for municipal clients. We appreciate the critical importance
of proactive communication with City staff, and recognize project
success builds on our early collaborative work with staff to
understand project expectations, draft detailed scopes of work,
assign team resources, and closely monitor project delivery and
schedule commitments. As shown in the graphic below, HDR’s Project
Management Plan approach, organized around a three-step process,
sets the stage for project success.
We Have the Expertise & Experience
The HDR Team has a long history of delivering successful community
planning, redevelopment and multimodal transportation planning
projects for communities across Florida. Through work with the
region’s stakeholders - from the MPOs, transit agencies and
FDOT, to local governments and regional interest groups we’ve
gained a thorough understanding of challenges, assets and
opportunities communities in Florida are facing.
We’ve been directly engaged in shaping the long-term vision for
the region’s future, and we’ve helped translate big picture visions
into realistic and achievable policies and programs. HDR’s operating
philosophy is to be an expertise-driven firm, delivering tailored
solutions through a strong local presence. We understand our local
communities and have a network of national experts and lessons
learned we can tap into to deliver these services to clients.
Our staff also understands the importance of quality public
communications and engagement, from framing the issues and
being able to tell a project’s story to diverse audiences, whether a
technical group, elected leaders, or the general public. We have the
tools and a dedicated Strategic Communications staff to make sure
communications are clear, concise, and meaningful to stakeholders
and community.
Quality is Key to Success
To produce quality documents, we use technical experts, writers,
a document editor, and strategic communicators. HDR holds our
project team members, including subconsultants, to a committed
QA/QC process. We develop a Quality Management Plan (QMP) at
the beginning of the project that identifies individuals responsible
for production and review of deliverables. The QC review follows a
five-step process, which is built into the project schedule. Our Quality
Officer, Steve Ferrell, will use the QMP to verify that we follow HDR’s
Quality Management Process and deliver quality and compliant
products and services.
Key Areas of Experience
The HDR Team offers expertise across the full spectrum of services
listed in the RFQ. We have staff to deliver services under all categories
identified, from smart city strategies and freight planning to big
data analytics, transportation system resiliency and climate action
planning, grant writing, and safety program management.
APPROACH TO PERFORMING TASKS
Understanding.
The first step involves meeting
with and listening to the needs
of staff and asking questions to
understand issues surrounding a
specific project. The importance
of understanding the project
issues and expectations is
essential for not only the specific
project but also to foster a culture
of teamwork.
01STEP
Staffing, Scope,
Schedule, and Fee.
After assessing issues with
staff, the next step includes the
assignment of the team members
to the project. With the proper
staff assigned, the scope of
services, fee, and schedule will
then be prepared for review and
approval prior to initiating the
work effort.
02STEP
Execute and Communicate.
The final step involves HDR Team
members, including the overall
PM, to effectively communicate
with staff throughout the duration
of the project and provide timely
delivery of quality products and
services. Our extensive resources
allow us to concurrently deliver
multiple assignment.

Short Range Planning /
Development Review Mobility Impacts
Led by Jamie Krzeminski, PE, PTOE
We’ve provided traffic studies and traffic impact analysis review
under multiple continuing service contracts, including work for
Orange County, the City of Altamonte Springs, and the City of
Ormond Beach. We recently assisted FDOT Central Office in updating
their Transportation Site Impact Handbook and Access Management
Guidebook to incorporate specific multimodal analysis processes,
policies, methodologies, targets, and standards to positively influence
the design of the transportation system to provide safe mobility and
site access for all modes.
HDR staff have extensive experience in traffic impact analysis and
plan development reviews for cities, counties, and FDOT D5 in Central
Florida. This experience, including work with Orange County, positions
us to provide meaningful insights that foster better development in
communities we serve. Recently, HDR has been privileged to support
the City of Ormond Beach and understands the interaction between
development and transportation.
HDR has completed intersection & traffic safety evaluations that
include review of crash data and field observations of physical
conditions, traffic queuing and delay, and user behaviors in order
to provide recommendations on appropriate operational and safety
improvements. HDR can conduct specific reviews based on the crash
analysis, access management analysis, sight distance evaluation,
and roadway lighting justification analysis. We also use the Highway
Safety Manual and Highway Capacity Manual procedures to support
the analysis of corridor projects at the state, county, and municipal
levels.
We have a background in transportation/mobility impact fees and
understand the importance of a clear methodology and attention
to data. We have developed fee schedules for local agencies as well
as prepared and reviewed alternative fees in many jurisdictions. We
focus on helping to provide clients the maximum amount of flexibility
related to how funds can be used while verifying that calculations are
sound and defensible.
Our approach to data collection is to first understand the nature of
the problem or issue so we can collect the right data that will help
inform decision-making. Traffic data serves as the basis for much of
the work we do, and we have extensive experience in these activities,
including intersection and roadway counts, vehicular classification
counts, origin and destination surveys, travel time and delay studies,
gap studies, license tag studies, and bicycle and pedestrian counts.
We know the importance of identifying and mitigating the impacts
of new development on the transportation network. Our staff has
extensive recent experience in this area and will focus on presenting
results that are clearly understood by all stakeholders including the
public.
Even more important than the method of collecting the data is
confirming that the data collected is accurate and reliable. We use
a thorough QA/QC process to verify that the data is accurate and
makes sense.
Included on our team is Quality Counts, LLC (QC). QC is a
nationwide, full service transportation data collection firm with more
than 200,000 studies on their resume. QC is a trusted source of
data and collection program development for numerous state DOTs,
counties, cities, MPOs, COGs, private sector clients, FHWA, and the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program.City of Casselberry, Winter Park Drive

Long Range Community & Multimodal
Transportation Planning
Led by Matt Wiesenfeld, PE, AICP
We understand how streets, sidewalks, trails, and transit services
shape the City’s future—mobility networks influence neighborhood
livability and sustainability, the competitiveness of districts and
corridors, and the health, safety, and quality of life of individuals and
families. To advance the City’s planning and placemaking agendas,
we’ll need to get high value and positive community impacts from
every dollar spent on transportation improvements.
Our approach to multimodal planning is driven by the need
to maximize the value of past and planned investments, and
strengthen the critical link between land use, placemaking, economic
development, and transportation decision making.
Our team has extensive experience addressing land use, placemaking,
mobility, and economic development. We’ve prepared plans, design
concepts, code provisions, and development strategies to conserve
sensitive resources, leverage locational and market advantages,
attract appropriate investment, and create distinct and memorable
places. Our award-winning projects — from community-wide
plans and development policies, to master plans for urban districts,
streetscapes, and public spaces — are helping revitalize urban
neighborhoods and transform auto-oriented corridors into more
pedestrian and transit-oriented places.
Defining creative, cost-effective planning strategies to realize a
community’s full potential is the central focus of our practice. Our
team prepares tools to spark appropriate investment, leverage assets,
improve livability, conserve character, and create vibrant, competitive,
districts, corridors, and neighborhoods. We understand the planning
issues facing Ocoee — economic, environmental, fiscal, cultural, and
social — and know what it takes to craft actionable plans, policies,
strategies, and improvement programs.
Our plans grow out of carefully-managed processes of collaboration
and community engagement. Working with clients, specialized
consultants, and key stakeholders, we explore issues and
opportunities, clarify goals and objectives, evaluate options, and
craft innovative, context-sensitive, and market-ready solutions. Team
leaders are practiced in the art of facilitation and engagement, and
have led dozens of community-based planning and design processes.
The HDR Team has extensive experience conducting planning and
policy research, evaluating regulatory and concurrency management
strategies, and translating research into accessible language and
graphics for incorporation in draft and final plans. Our team has
years of experience helping communities develop, implement, and
update comprehensive plans, area and corridor studies, neighborhood
plans, and redevelopment strategies. Team members have helped
communities complete plan amendments, future land use map and
text amendments, land development regulation changes, economic
development programs, and CRA plan updates and amendments.

Regional Coordination & Grant Support
Led by Nathan Hicks, AICP
Our staff is versed in infrastructure finance, public benefits analysis,
regulatory impact analysis, risk analysis and more. Whether for
the business or public sector, we provide focus and clarity for
stakeholders through the application of economic reasoning.
Our team is no stranger to compliance and grants. While working
at MetroPlan Orlando our Project Manager, Nick Lepp, often took
the lead on coordinating LAP (Local Agency Program) and TRIP
(Transportation Regional Incentive Program) and worked with the
City of Ocoee on the process and FDOT on the implementation of
projects.
We also have extensive experience on LAP projects that will be
critical to the success of the overall program. First-hand experience
with this entire process will be a major benefit to helping the City of
Ocoee maximize the amount of transportation funds it can secure and
use.
We have a history of helping clients with major grant awards. We’ve
been involved in obtaining the Safe Streets 4 All grant for the City of
Gainesville and supporting MetroPlan Orlando on the current SS4A
planning grant.
Our local staff is coordinating and identifying cost effective grant
candidates for discretionary grants identified in the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Legislation (BIL) and from other federal & state
agencies. We are also supported by a team of national transportation
economists that work in this field every day and know what is
coming next from the federal level. Having participated in various
grant processes, our team is well aware of the level of coordination
needed to complete these studies and documents. We are also hyper-
aware of the importance for clear communication and aiding in the
facilitation of partner coordination.
We know what it takes to meet a grant deadline with a great,
well-constructed application. We are experienced in assisting our
clients with preparation of committee materials, timely review of
technical materials, as well as performing any necessary committee
presentations if requested to do so.
Placemaking, Urban Design & CRA Support
Led by Alexandra Laporte, AICP, LEED AP
Our urban design team is unmatched in placemaking and
redevelopment planning expertise—from detailed design of parks and
public spaces to neighborhood and commercial corridor revitalization
to district-scale master planning, we can deliver the full range of
support to advance Ocoee’s most ambitious urban design and
placemaking visions.
The public realm, the City’s streets, streetscapes, parks and public
spaces, will play an increasingly important role in our post-COVID
future. Cities with abundant, diverse, and accessible outdoor public
spaces will be at a distinct competitive advantage. As the most visible
public spaces in a community, streets have a powerful influence on
livability and competitiveness. Besides supporting vehicle travel,
streets can be designed to bolster a community’s attractiveness,
expand travel alternatives, advance equity and sustainability goals,
and provide settings for quality private investment.
The HDR Team has completed community reinvestment and
redevelopment plans for districts and corridors across Florida. Our
team provides a full complement of services to support such planning
efforts, from economic and market analysis, planning and urban
design, public and stakeholder engagement, public space planning
and design, comprehensive planning, form-based coding, and financial
feasibility, value capture, and fiscal impact analyses. Our team has
prepared redevelopment plans and guidelines for a wide range of
urban district suburban corridors—from the US 19 Corridor in Pinellas
County to the Ybor City National Historic Landmark District in Tampa.

HDR Orlando Office
Research shows that up to 80% of a project’s data has a spatial
component. We use GIS to capture, analyze, present and store this
crucial information. GIS allows us to plan, design and deliver our
projects more efficiently, developing meaningful work products for
you. Instead of relying on traditional paper maps, we can access a
broad range of data through GIS, including parcels, soils, utilities,
survey controls, flood plains and topography. We leverage this
information to model and evaluate complex spatial relationships and
uncover hidden project obstacles and opportunities. By integrating
GIS with Building Information Modeling (BIM), we can create a
sophisticated 3D model of the project to aid project decision-
making. This model can be used to explore what-if scenarios, plan
construction activities and communicate the project to the general
public through dashboards. Our Orlando GIS team has developed
several of these for our Central Florida clients, such as MetroPlan
Orlando and FDOT D5.
Public engagement cannot be tied to one singular strategy. It ebbs
and flows and must remain fluid. Partnering with HDR includes
Strategic Communications (StratCom) staff that can help strengthen
the City of Ocoee’s presence in the community in a meaningful
and authentic manner. Our full-service communication program
has the capacity to support a variety of meetings and events. From
large scale, interactive design sessions to advisory boards and
leadership councils, our team of professionals can manage it all
from idea to implementation. Additionally, HDR’s StratCom staff
leads in developing and managing comprehensive communications
and marketing plans which include branding, website development,
collateral materials, advertising, special events, social media and
public and media relations.Award winning 2022 Annual Report for Space Coast TPO -

Professional Qualifications for our Subconsultant Partner
Quality Counts, LLC (QC) is a nationwide full-service transportation
data collection firm with more than 130 employees in 12 offices across
the United States. QC was founded in 2003 in Portland, OR to meet
the need for a local, dedicated traffic data vendor. Over the past 20
years, QC has leveraged its specialized commitment to exceptional
customer service, quality products, and innovative technology to
become one of the most respected, industry-leading transportation
data collection firms in the country. QC’s processes are rooted in a
customer-first, transparent business model that maximizes project
efficiency and reporting accuracy.
Our goal is to always provide our clients with the best possible consulting resources. We do this by specifically selecting subconsultant
teaming partners for the services required on each project. After thoroughly reviewing the RFQ and scope for this contract, it was determined
that the vast majority of the scope could and should be handled in-house by HDR staff. Therefore, we developed our team to include only one
subconsultant partner, making HDR a “one stop shop” for the City of Ocoee.
QC believes in always striving to improve. Their system of data
collection evolves with deliberate intent to advance the transportation
data industry. With more than 200,000 studies on their resume, QC
is a trusted source of data and collection program development for
numerous DOTs, counties, cities, MPOs, COGs, private sector clients,
FHWA, and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program
(NCHRP). In fact, their data collection methods are so accurate that
they are often used to establish “ground truth” corroborative data
sets in nationwide studies of survey methodologies and technologies.
QC’s vast experience is made possible through the use of state-of-
the-art hardware, software, and proven processing methods. We
maintain a high level of industry-specific knowledge and cutting
edge technology to allow us to deliver solutions catered to unique
transportation challenges.
Rodrikas has 16 years of experience in transportation data collection
projects. He has acted as QC’s Project Manager for turning movement

Altamonte Springs, FL
Under our continuing services contract with the City of Altamonte
Springs, HDR has completed the following task work orders:
Trail Feasibility Study: Altamonte Springs SunRail Station to
Seminole Wekiva Trail - A feasibility study for a new multi-use trail
connection between the City’s SunRail Commuter Rail Station and the
regional Seminole-Wekiva Trail. The feasibility study recommended a
preferred alignment and expanded on interest from Florida Hospital
to improve connectivity in the area. HDR conducted field reviews
with City staff to look for opportunities to connect a variety of
neighborhoods and regional destinations across the study area.
Orange Drive Pedestrian Access / ADA Improvement Concept
Study and Design - HDR performed a study to improve connectivity
in a neighborhood just south of the Altamonte Mall. HDR performed
a walking audit of the area and helped determine potential crosswalk
options and other possible improvements, such as a new sidewalk
and roadway upgrades. HDR also developed final design plans for the
improvements.
Springs Oaks Blvd Speed Management Pilot Design - This
project aims to reduce vehicular speeds on the corridor from SR 436
to Seminole Wekiva Trail crossing. Through a variety of horizontal
deflection, lane shifts, and island installations, lower speeds are
anticipated on this corridor and will be verified through a speed study.

City of Casselberry, Continuing Transportation Services
Casselberry, FL
Winter Park Drive - This TWO based study evaluated opportunities
for improved multimodal connections between SR 436 and Crystal
Bowl Circle as well as improvements to three signalized intersections.
A major focus of the study was the connectivity and safety of
pedestrians and bicyclists as well as an analysis of the transit needs
of the corridor. Corridor users included golf carts, the disabled, and
municipal services. The study presented results to the Seminole
County School Officials and the City Commission. This led to trail
installation, signal modification plans, and a study that will extend the
effort further north along the corridor.
Central Connectivity Phase 1 - The Central Casselberry Connectivity
Project proposes to provide improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities
along Marigold Road, Hibiscus Road, Palm Drive, and S Winter
Park Drive by improving connectivity throughout the grid network,
including marked crossings and sidewalk improvements; providing
traffic calming treatments and pedestrian signage at all intersections;
pedestrian and roadway lighting; widened sidewalks to better
connect the proposed Palm Drive shared use path to the existing
trailhead at S Winter Park Drive and Marigold Road. The study also
evaluated the creation of a “play street” for a block within the study
area.28

As one of Orlando’s transportation consultants, HDR helped the
City move forward in addressing key safety and mobility issues for
all users of the transportation system and tasks under this contract
included:
North Quarter Phase 2 Traffic/Mobility Feasibility Study -
Evaluated the projected traffic impacts of the North Quarter assuming
one-way couplet of Orange Ave. and Magnolia Ave. is converted to
two-way streets with a cycle track. Evaluated the interaction along
the surface streets and with I-4. Projected future year traffic and
modeled operations in simulation software.
Downtown Gap Study - HDR worked with the City of Orlando to
identify and evaluate the most effective way to complete the bicycle
beltway from the Downtown Connector Trail to Gertrude’s Walk. A
concept plan was developed for the preferred alignment and HDR
was subsequently selected for the design of the project.
Roundabout Feasibility Studies - HDR evaluated six locations for
potential of intersection reconstruction to roundabouts to facilitate
safer operations. The framework was based on national best
practices focused on safety, maintaining, or improving operations and
constructable design.

City of Ormond Beach, Continuing Transportation Services
Ormond Beach, FL
HDR has been serving the City of Ormond Beach on a Continuing

Avalon Park Development Impact Analysis - HDR provided an
independent analysis of a proposed large-scale development just
outside the city boundary of Ormond Beach, FL. The development
was expected to house ~25,000 new residents, as well as provide
200,000 s.f. of retail and commercial space. The analysis assessed
the transportation impacts of ~12,000 new vehicle trips daily,
new water services, new municipal services, and new community
dynamics. The conclusions were provided to the City of Ormond
Beach to support their ongoing negotiations with the developer and
other local governments to determine the best course of action. HDR
concluded the project with a report documenting these findings
as well as a presentation with City staff to concerned residents to
connect the community to information.

Budget and Schedule Control
Continuing Contract for Transportation Planning Consulting Services | Tab 2 | Experience and References
Budget and Schedule Control
For a project to be considered a
success, work must be completed
on schedule, within budget, and
error free. At the start of each
task work order, if applicable,
our project manager prepares a
Project Management Plan (PMP) to
document all information necessary
to execute a successful project.
The PMP is an internal document
that serves as a road map for the
project team. The PMP defines
project resources and includes
client contact information, project
description, scope of work,
deliverables, budget, administration
procedures, and filing requirements.
It also covers communication methods, such as use of intranet
sites, electronic documentation, written documentation, and
working remotely. The PMP also includes a project-specific Quality
Management Plan and a Safety Plan which helps maintain quality
and a safe work environment. We use a combination of company-
wide developed tools and procedures for delivering consistency in
our work, managing internal tasks, maintaining communication, and
staying ahead of schedule and under budget. We are always willing
to incorporate new methods as our clients and project work dictates.
Effective Project Management
The mainstay of a project is the PMP. The PMP defines the vision;
implementation strategy; schedule and budget criteria; and the
policies, procedures, and standards for the project.
The PMP is the master reference document for the team and provides
guidance to subconsultants engaged throughout the life of the
program, from inception through planning, design, and construction.
The PMP provides a level of continuity and standardization to
facilitate time and cost-effective communications and decision-
making.

either from public protest, permitting, loss of leadership and/or loss
of momentum or funding. Diligence, flexibility, credibility and tact are
needed to work through these potential delays or stopping points.
Our proposed project manager understands your policies, procedures,
standards of expected work and overall organization structure,
and has worked closely on previous projects with many of the staff
members assigned to this project.

• Document Control
• Project Controls Plan
• Procurement Management
• Contract Management

Our Value to Your Projects
Innovation is the Key to Success
We know that transportation touches every aspect of life and that
innovation is at the forefront of sustainable multimodal planning
solutions. Innovation not only helps diversify projects and approaches
safety more holistically, but it also demonstrates how we can use
forward-thinking tools to improve quality of life and add value to our
clients’ projects.
An example of how we add value to our clients’ transportation
projects is when we teamed with MetroPlan Orlando and helped
complete their Health Strategic Plan. With the project being one of
the first of its kind, HDR and MetroPlan Orlando charted a new path
for transportation planning that included health-based goals.
The HDR Team took a true multidisciplinary approach by enlisting
our internal experts in the health and research field, synthesized
Community Health Impact Plans (CHIPs) and conducted interviews
with public health leaders to understand what drives key health
outcomes such as life expectancy, mental health status, and
prevalence of diseases such as asthma. We then reviewed
transportation data to reveal how infrastructure and action lead to
mobility outcomes such as travel times and reliability.
We understand that the community around us is constantly changing
and growing, so we continue to innovate in this health space by
applying the plan framework to MetroPlan Orlando’s performance-
based planning process and to vulnerable user assessments.
Client References
National Presence and Resources
Not only do we have our local staff of transportation planners, GIS
and strategic communication professionals, but we also have a
network of staff throughout the country partnering with our clients to
address the transportation issues in nearly every urban metropolitan
area. Our team is continually collaborating across the network to
share experiences, expertise and innovative approaches that we can
share with our clients.
HDR strives to provide services that add value to the mobility of
people, goods and commerce, and to recommend investments that
can implement these objectives.

Ocoee, FL 34761
RE: RFQ #23-008 Continuing Contract for Transportation Planning Consulting Services
Dear Members of the Evaluation Committee:
Toole Design Group is pleased to submit our qualifications for the City of Ocoee’s Continuing
Contract for Transportation Planning Consulting Services (i.e., continuing services contract).
Toole Design is a community-focused urban planning and design firm. While we have the benefit
of expertise and the willing collaboration of 19 offices across North America, our local, Central
Florida-based team understands that the City of Ocoee has its own set of challenges, constraints,
and goals around planning, community growth, equity, and transportation. We have worked with
numerous historic, fast-growing communities in Central Florida and around North America to help
them identify and define their vision, set goals, and prioritize needs. We excel at projects where
the benefits, after implementation or construction, continue to increase beyond the original scope,
ranging from economic growth, to lowering traffic crashes and injuries, to beautifying the space
with natural landscaping, to creating award-winning places that become destinations.
Toole Design has practical experience taking planning projects from concept to reality. With
a diverse design and engineering staff, we have the ability to take challenging and ambitious
goals, translate them into compelling concepts, and develop detailed documents that ensure
that the resulting policy and construction projects proceed smoothly and produce the desired
outcomes. We have successfully accomplished this on a variety of projects including, mobility
analyses, design guidelines, downtown revitalization projects, multimodal corridors, on-street
bike facilities, separated bike lanes (cycle tracks) and protected intersections, road diets,
access to transit, shared use paths, intersection and pedestrian safety improvements, and
wayfinding sign systems.
To us, places must be safe, comfortable, varied, and attractive. They also need to be distinctive,
and offer variety, choice, and fun. Vibrant places offer opportunities for meeting people, playing
in the street, and watching the world go by. Many of the City of Ocoee’s community values are
shared and embodied in Toole Design’s new Es:
▪Equity: Where the public realm comfortably supports all mobile users (i.e., people of all ages,
ability levels, and backgrounds that are walking, cycling, or using transit) and static users (i.e.,
businesses, residences, and institutions). We believe that cities and downtowns are places
of social and economic exchange and that people of all ages, ability levels, incomes, and
backgrounds should be able to readily access what they need live and thrive in Ocoee.
Page 378 of 782
ENVISIONING WHAT COULD BE, THEN BUILDING IT
▪Ethics: We believe that engineers, landscape architects, and planners have an ethical
obligation to develop solutions that improve the safety, health, and welfare of the public so
that fewer of our roadways are dangerous by design. Toole Design’s ethics-driven approach
includes pioneering tactile paving systems so that people with vision disabilities can easily
navigate plazas and streets, removing highways from cities, reforming state and federal DOT
practices, and calming hostile streets.
▪Empathy: We keep the focus of our work centered on people—the end users of our plans,
projects, and programs. We problem-solve and identify potential solutions from the
perspective of the user. The magic of empathy comes when planners and designers intersect
and connect with the affected community’s values, goals, and aspirations.
Not only do our values align, but at Toole Design, we specialize in the work outlined in the
City’s Scope of Services. We are a full-service company that can successfully bring projects
from cutting-edge public engagement (both in-person and virtually) through analysis, policy
development, planning, design, and engineering to construction. We are accustomed to listening,
collaborating, educating, and exploring issues so that diverse groups—including members of the
public, City staff, and elected officials—know that they are heard and their concerns, ideas, and
desired outcomes matter.
Ian Lockwood will lead our team to work alongside the City of Ocoee on task orders. Ian is a
Livable Transportation Engineer and has worked throughout Florida. He has a unique collection
of experience with Complete Streets, network, placemaking, downtown and Main Street
revitalization, walkability, and land use planning in both the public and private sectors, having
served as the transportation director for the City of West Palm Beach, the Project Manager for
a wide variety of town center, sustainability and revitalization plans, and a local government
liaison for transportation issues. Ian has seen a broad range of engineering initiatives through to
implementation, proving his value through the entire process.
We are equally excited about the opportunities support the City in everyday transportation
planning tasks and advancing transformative projects. Our team has the knowledge, expertise,
and experiences necessary to deliver design and engineering services to support the City in
creating and maintaining memorable places that have the power to improve and enrich the
human experience. If you have any questions about our qualifications, please reach out to Ian
Lockwood at 407.496.2529 or ilockwood@tooledesign.com. He would be happy to meet with
you virtually or in-person, in your offices or on-site anywhere in the City. We look forward to
collaborating with you.
Sincerely,
Ernest Boughman, III, AICP
Director of Operations, Southern U.S.

FIRM QUALIFICATIONS
Toole Design is the nation’s leading planning,
engineering, and landscape architecture firm
specializing in public realm infrastructure for
active transportation. As a mission-based
firm, we strive to create livable communities
where places and the way that we travel—
walking, cycling, and using transit—are safe,
comfortable, and convenient for everyone.
We focus on developing cost-effective and
implementable solutions that move people
effectively while also improving health, quality
of life, economic vitality, and place-making.
We have a national reputation for excellence
in Complete Streets, street network planning,
trail planning, public and stakeholder outreach,
community engagement, streetscape design,
and safety work, among a variety of other
related subjects. Our staff have assessed
tens of thousands of miles of roads and
streets in a myriad of contexts throughout
North America. We have extensive experience
working with municipalities, universities,
business improvement districts, community
organizations, state DOTs, FHWA, and other
transportation planning and engineering clients.
We have helped set the standards for active transportation planning through our work with FHWA.
Toole Design was founded in 2003 with a
mission to create dynamic communities where
walking, biking, and transit use are feasible
for people of all ages and abilities. Since then,
the company has grown to 19 offices and over
250 employees across North America. All we
do is livable transportation. We do not widen
and speed up arterial streets. We do not build
or expand highways. Instead, we calm arterial
streets, remove highways, and provide a
myriad of services that advance community
visions to make neighborhoods, corridors,
downtowns, cities and counties better
economically, socially, and environmentally.
Our scopes range from leading 4,000-acre
transit-oriented developments, to countywide
bicycle plans, to designing Main Streets, to
conducting site plan reviews. Our on-call
clients include large cities (like Austin, Boston,
and Seattle) as well as medium and small
towns. We will focus on the smaller cities for
the purposes of this response to Ocoee’s RFQ.
Furthermore, we will highlight on-call services
specifically provided by the people that we

SERVICES
MOBILITY AND
DEMAND MANAGEMENT
Toole Design’s staff is composed of
professionals with a strong foundation in
traffic capacity analysis and simulation, safety
analysis, parking studies and management,
and signal design. Transportation patterns
and habits across the country are changing,
both as a result of the pandemic and a greater
focus on weaving health and sustainability
into everyday movements. In Florida, we
are shifting from a focus on motor vehicles
to walking, biking, and transit. Our staff
has been at the forefront of evaluating and
testing new ways to measure and quantify
the impacts of multimodal improvements
beyond conventional vehicle level of service
calculations. Some of the ways in which our
Florida team can support Ocoee’s mobility and
demand management goals include:
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Toole Design provides development
services to both public and private sector
clients. Many of our staff have municipal or
consulting backgrounds in development, and
we are well-equipped to assist agencies in
updating policies for how they assess and
mitigate right-of-way impacts; planning,
design, and review of development plans;
and preparing and reviewing traffic
engineering and parking studies.
POLICY DEVELOPMENT
AND TRADE-OFF ANALYSIS
Our public sector development experience
has included working with agencies to create
frameworks for how they manage and make
decisions about the competing needs in their
rights-of-way, writing policies and procedures
for assessing development impacts on the
multimodal street network, and writing
policies for regulating shared mobility and
micromobility providers’ use of the right-of-way.
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND
MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
To support local efforts to more effectively
manage motor vehicle parking, Toole Design
offers its expertise in developing Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) programs that
reduce single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips,
increase mode shift to non-SOV modes,
reduce motor vehicle emissions, and improve
conditions for bicycling and walking. In addition
to infrastructure planning and design, Toole
Design provides state of the art guidance on the
programs and policies that can contribute to
successful TDM programs.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR OCOEE
▪Providing viable mobility options for
youth and older adults
▪Managing congestion around
popular areas
▪Creating a complete, connected, well-
signed network of sidewalks and
trails so moving around the city and
connecting to transit make it easy to
get anywhere without a vehicle
▪Managing parking needs and the
demand for space for other public uses,
housing, and commercial development

FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Toole Design has extensive experience
conducting feasibility analyses that guide
project element selection and lead into
concept drawings and, ultimately, preliminary
engineering plans. We have prepared concepts
for complex intersections and corridors
throughout North America. As authors of
FHWA’s Achieving Multimodal Networks, which
focuses on design flexibility, and of the
AASHTO Bike Guide, we are intimately familiar
with the viability and safety of new concepts
and design features. The Toole Design Team
includes experts in all disciplines needed to
identify evaluation criteria that will be specific
to each multimodal transportation project.
Because our team has developed these types
of concepts and preliminary engineering
drawings on many previous projects, we often
have some of the preliminary engineering
plans in hand prior to beginning a project. This
allows us to swiftly assemble information for
the pertinent evaluation criteria and proceed
through preliminary engineering analyses
quickly, including the development of planning-
level cost estimates.
To support City of Ocoee in its ongoing needs,
Toole Design can assist with performing
feasibility and due-diligence studies for a
variety of project types including downtown/
activity centers, transit-oriented development
and mobility hubs, corridor improvements,
microtransit/shuttle services, trails, and
safety. Our process includes investigation
and analysis of potential improvements,
identification of initial and long-term costs, and
feasibility of implementation. We understand
that Ocoee wants to get projects built. Our
recommendations will consider feasibility from
the beginning: we have led projects through
construction management, and we always
work with that end goal in mind. We focus on
practical solutions that are compatible with the
wider transportation context, and we know how
to identify funding sources and implementation
strategies that move projects forward.
Our work with AASHTO has helped define what streets for all users look like.

COMPLETE STREETS
AND CORRIDOR STUDIES
Toole Design’s focus will be on developing
Complete Street design solutions for the
City of Ocoee that improve conditions for
pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users while
also considering the access needs for deliveries
and motorists. With a high number of visitors,
as well as high proportions of both youth and
older adults, affordable transportation options
are critical, and safe, comfortable streets are
key to making walking, bicycling, and transit
viable transportation alternatives to the car.
Toole Design takes many of our Complete Street
projects from concept designs through to final
construction documents, cost estimates, and
construction administration services. We can
assist the City in re-envisioning local streets,
roads, and public spaces with multimodal
transportation facilities such as bicycle lanes,
shared use trails, traffic calming treatments,
and special intersection treatments such as
curb extensions, and mid-block crossings.
Our team has particular expertise with
streetscapes and Complete Streets, interpretive
materials, and landscape amenities, as well
as incorporating sustainable practices such
as bioretention measures and permeable
surfaces. Our pioneering work in Complete
Streets include Boston Complete Streets Design
Guidelines, Federal Highway Administration
Guide for Achieving Multimodal Networks, and the
Solano Avenue Complete Streets and Corridor
Revitalization Plan in Albany, CA. Closer to
home, we’ve completed designs for Orange
Avenue and Magnolia Street in Orlando (which
will restore two-way operations to the one-way-
pair), and Plant Street in Winter Garden.
We have written Complete Street guidance for communities across North America and helped implement them.

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Toole Design has managed numerous planning
and concept development projects that vary
from corridor, trail, and neighborhood to
citywide, regional, and statewide areas. We use
a multidisciplinary approach that integrates
planning, engineering, landscape architecture,
ecological studies, environmental permitting,
and public art, and we understand how the
needs of people who walk and people who
bike are similar and how they differ. Our plans
reflect this understanding by providing tailored
recommendations for each mode.
We have extensive experience using this
understanding to develop planning-level
performance measures and cost estimates for
each mode.
Additionally, our experience with this
multidisciplinary approach means that we
are in a superior position to provide design
concept review; we understand how things
are built, and we apply this knowledge at each
step in the process. Toole Design staff are
experts at using quantitative and qualitative
data to evaluate and prioritize projects, and
we rank recommended facility improvements
by combining public and agency stakeholder
input, our team’s expertise, and appropriately
weighted prioritization methods.
Our specific planning experience includes
feasibility and due-diligence studies, site
planning, and preliminary designs. Our
focus has been on parks and open spaces,
recreational trails, greenways, sidewalks and
walkways, streetscapes and Complete Streets,
bicycle facilities, interpretive and wayfinding
signage, landscape amenities, and sustainable
project elements such as bioretention and
permeable surfaces.
We can support the City with:
▪Plans for the safe and comfortable
movement of people on foot, by bike, on
transit, and by motor vehicle;
▪Access management studies and plans;

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING
At Toole Design, we recognize that an
approach to traffic engineering that focuses
only on motor vehicle operations is quickly
becoming outdated. We offer our clients high-
quality, accurate multimodal evaluations of
transportation systems. Our goal is to provide
the best multimodal solution for each project or
locale based on its characteristics and needs.
Our staff is comprised of professionals with a
solid foundation in traffic capacity analysis and
simulation, safety analysis, parking studies and
management, and signal design.
We understand that transportation patterns and
habits are changing, with many people preferring
to have access to more than one mode of travel.
Many communities are experiencing a shift
away from a focus on motor vehicles to walking,
biking, and transit. Our traffic engineering staff
has been at the forefront of evaluating and
testing new ways to measure and quantify the
impacts of multimodal improvements beyond the
conventional vehicle level of service calculations.
Our engineering and design solutions are focused on
moving people not just vehicles.

11RFQ #23-008 TRANSPORTATION PLANNING CONSULTING SERVICES | TOOLE DESIGN
Over his career, Ian has honed a design approach for maximizing
walkability that he applies to projects at every scale, ranging from
trails, to campuses, to downtowns, to tourist areas. In the 1990s,
Ian led some of the first arterial calming, road diet, and flush street
projects in the country, and in 2005, he helped define the term
Complete Streets. The Path-as-Place doctrine—that trails, corridors,
and streets should be places rather than places to simply pass by—
informs all of Ian’s work, which includes designing flexible-use public
spaces, the design of Main Streets, downtown revitalization initiatives,
one-way to two-way street restorations, and highway removal
projects, all with the goal of increasing social and economic exchange.
SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
FDOT District 1 Complete Streets Training
Ian led a day-long training session for the FDOT’s District 1 staff to help
them achieve a higher awareness and compliance with the FDOT’s new
policies and directives. The training focused on the most challenging;
i) technical issues such as complete arterial design, slowing design
speeds, dealing with conflicting goals, retrofitting the suburbs, and
dealing with sprawl-oriented cities and counties; and ii) cultural issues
such as changing the mindset/paradigm of the practitioners so that they
would see their role differently and better interpret the design guidance
and policies. Ian is now preparing a more advanced course focused on
redesigning State roads for slower and safer speeds.
City of South Bend Smart Streets Initiative, South Bend, IN
Ian served as the Project Manager for this initiative to attract people
and investment back to South Bend’s downtown and create a vibrant
and attractive core. The plan employed changes to the street network
to spread traffic loads on several parallel streets, restoring the one-
way streets to two-way, adding trees and separated bike lanes, and
narrowing the travelways to two lanes in order to operate more slowly,
safely, and with fewer traffic signals. A park and trail component helped
the downtown reengage with its waterfront.

PROJECT EXAMPLES
Toole Design has worked on many similar projects to this consulting services contract. On the
following pages, we have featured some of our most relevant projects, starting with a description
of three current on-call contracts that are: i) being led by and staffed by the same team that is
proposed for this contract; and ii) involve smaller-sized cities with ambitions to meet their potentials
as great places, economically, socially, and environmentally.
They include South Bend, IN, (population 103,000); Sulphur Springs, TX, (population 16,200); and
Winter Garden, FL, (population 47,000); which are comparable to Ocoee’s population which is
approaching 50,000 people.
Our planners, engineers, designers, and landscape architects have worked across North America to make active
transportation safer and communities more accessible.

SOUTH BEND, IN
SOUTH BEND CONTINUING SERVICES CONTRACT
The City of South Bend suffered decades of disinvestment. About 10 years ago, Toole Design Group
was engaged to collaborate with the South Bend’s communities to envision its downtown as a human-
scaled, pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly network of streets, that maximize social and economic
exchange, as well as private investment. The result was the “South Bend Smart Streets Initiative,” a
feasible street network, street redesign, trail, and open space plan. The plan included restoring all
the one-way streets back to two-way, strategically using roundabouts to reassign traffic loads to a
broader network, changing every street into a complete street, and developing a waterfront park and
plaza plan that is integrated with the bicycle and street plans. Funding and implementing the plan
enjoyed a high degree of public and business support due to the charrette-based design process.
The public support was so high for our concepts that the Mayor at the time, Pete Buttigieg, did not
want to miss a “construction season” and initiated an accelerated implementation process on the
early stages of the plan, even before the final charrette process was finished. Due to this concurrent
activity, within six months of completing the final charrette, two one-way streets were restored to
two-way, and a third street was rebuilt to become and attractive 2-lane street with street trees and
wider sidewalks. Hundreds of millions of dollars of investment and development were attracted to the
downtown due to the Smart Streets Initiative. Interestingly, the private investors did not wait until the
Smart Streets Initiative was implemented. Investment began flowing into the City as implementation
was beginning.

26RFQ #23-008 TRANSPORTATION PLANNING CONSULTING SERVICES | TOOLE DESIGN
Today, the original plan is mostly implemented, community pride is high, and the downtown
renaissance has continued and spread. The City kept Toole Design involved after the Smart
Streets Initiative the through an on-call contract. Examples tasks were far ranging and include:
▪Helping the City redesign difficult intersections to become pedestrian and cyclist-friendly;
▪Critiquing and developing site plans for infill developments;
▪Complete Street concepts for arterial corridors;
▪Strategies to reposition the city, east of the river, to be multimodal;
▪Develop a Complete Streets strategy to connect the two sides of the river, the downtown, and
the University of Notre Dame;
▪Conduct the transportation and land use planning for a highway removal.
Regarding the highway removal project, the first steps include removing the interchanges on both
sides of the river, restoring the damaged street networks, reengaging the river, and redeveloping the
liberated land with housing, shops, and waterfront parks and trails. The six-lane highway bridge will
be adaptively reused. The four lanes, toward the north side of the bridge, will be reconfigured into a
Highline-type linear park with great views of the downtown skyline. The remaining two lanes, along
the south side of the bridge, will become part of the two-lane, two-way, complete, street network.
Following the Smart Streets Initiative, the costs and time-lines for the on-call services were
determined by task. The tasks ranged in cost from $2K to $50K and the schedules were determined
to meet the City’s needs at the time. Some tasks needed to be done right away due to an urgent need
and others were spread over months.

Residents of Sulphur Springs had long abandoned the Main Street, Heritage Square, and the
downtown in favor of big box retail stores that had developed along the highway bypass. Through the
Downtown Revitalization Plan, Toole Design transformed Sulphur Spring’s vacant downtown back into
a vibrant hub of business and public life, earning the City a Rudy Bruner Award.
In the Spring of 2021, the City asked Toole Design to help further Sulphur Springs’s revitalization,
this time with a focus on Downtown West. Using a design charrette, Toole Design collaborated with
property owners, City staff, stakeholders, and residents to learn about the community’s aspirations,
history, challenges, constraints, and values. We used their input to create starter ideas, developing
these ideas over time into detailed plans that had the backing and support of the community.
The resulting plan features a linear park with a stream, lake, paths, passive and active places, special
plantings, and interpretive features. A mixed-use development will have residential space towards
the north and then becomes increasingly active and mixed with commercial space towards the south
and around the lake. The streets and bridges were designed to be highly accessible, slow, shaded,
contextual, and beautiful.
Once built, West Downtown will feature denser housing types, live/work opportunities, active and
passive recreation, and amenities, effectively transforming into a local and regional destination.

Dillard Street is the main route into the City of Winter Garden’s downtown. The City of Winter
Garden hired Toole Design to develop a Complete Street concept for the one-mile corridor. The
entire plan for the Complete Street was conceived and drawn on-site, during a community
charrette process. The community’s values and ideas were solicited during a thorough “discovery
phase” that involved site visits, public meetings, and one-on-one interviews. The discoveries were
then translated into a 3-lane, tree-lined, slower street concept, with separated bike facilities, wide
sidewalks, rain gardens, art opportunities, roundabouts at busy intersections, buried power lines,
and safer crossings.
The separated bike facilities along Dillard Street will intersect with Winter Garden’s main street,
Plant Street, as well as the West Orange Trail. Approximately 100,000 people visit the downtown
every month via the trail and the trail users account for 25% of the downtown’s economy. Having
witnessed what happened in the downtown, the community consensus was that the reconstruction
of Dillard Street as a Complete Street will lead to better outcomes economically, socially,
recreationally, aesthetically, and functionally for the adjacent land uses and all modes of travel. The
road diet, roundabouts, safer travel speeds, median refuges, and multiple crossing locations will
eliminate the barrier effect of the street, enhance access to businesses and neighborhoods, and
improve the image of the City.

Toole Design worked closely with Racine City officials and the Downtown Racine Corporation
to create a public realm and parking plan for Downtown. The plan includes three
interconnected components:
1) Monument Square Re-design
The Monument Square design features a flexible, flush curb street that expands into surrounding rights-of-
way to accommodate a variety of civic festivals. This flexible space includes large and small event lawns,
shaded spaces for informal gatherings, a splash pad for warmer seasons that can serve other outdoor
uses during winter months.
2) Main Street Corridor Traffic Design
The ultimate Main Street design includes right-sizing the street to one travel lane in each direction,
on-street parking on both sides of the street with bulb-outs for additional street trees and raised
separated bicycle lanes adjacent to the expanded sidewalk furnishing zones. The plan provides
direction for curbside management needed for pick-up and delivery associated with adjacent
businesses as well as ride share operations and micromobility options.
3) Downtown Parking System Strategy
Careful consideration was given to the short-term parking needs of surrounding retail uses and
to the universal accessibility of the of the gathering spaces. The parking component balances
long-term parking needs of employees with the short-term turnover that businesses require for
customers. It also emphasizes parking technologies and pricing as ways to manage and share this
public resource.
These elements promote the downtown as a welcoming destination, a place to arrive and stay, a
thriving business and cultural center, and a place to call home. Toole Design worked closely with
City officials and the Downtown Racine Corporation to deliver this publicly endorsed project within
five months.

Downtown Chapel Hill is a place filled with the energy of long-time residents, university students,
local businesses, and out of town visitors. As the Town has grown, the need to provide safe and
comfortable mobility options became apparent. Recent changes explored ways to create designated
space for people walking and bicycling; however, Town staff, residents, and businesses desired a
more comprehensive and clear vision for mobility. Toole Design collaborated with the Town and
general public to craft a vision for mobility that increased access and highlighted that Downtown is
the heart of all types of exchange—social, relationship, financial, cultural, and more.
A graphic-rich report was developed to illustrate mobility options and explain why changes to
downtown streets can benefit all users, include static users such and local businesses. The
vision for mobility emphasized high-quality space for pedestrians. Wider sidewalks, café seating,
gathering spaces, safe crossings, and visual interest became critical elements recommended
for the future of mobility in Downtown Chapel Hill. Toole Design used public feedback to develop
additional recommendations for separated bikeways, on-street parking, loading and unloading
zones, curbside management, motor vehicle travel lanes, and operations changes to improve the
experience of traveling to downtown. The final report is a foundation for streetscaping and design
efforts that will take place in future phases and ultimately enhance the people-focused qualities that
exist in Downtown Chapel Hill.

The City of Havre de Grace is a cultural and historic waterfront town situated on the Susquehanna
River and Chesapeake Bay with aging infrastructure. The city received funding for new underground
utility infrastructure which this project is leveraging as an opportunity to reimagine the downtown
space and provide a once in a lifetime restoration of Havre de Grace’s existing street network, public
spaces, and waterfront, while supporting the vibrant business community.
During an extensive charrette process in 2022, Toole Design and the City of Havre de Grace held virtual
public meetings, open studios, client group meetings, and stakeholder interviews to engage the public
and stakeholders with our initial concept designs and define an overall vision and a focused set of
priority areas for the downtown revitalization. Following the charrette process, Toole Design led the
design of the Phase 2A, Preliminary Engineering tasks for the selected Priority 1 areas (Washington
Street, Pennington Avenue, Rochambeau Plaza, and Green Street). This phase advanced the initial
charrette concepts, first through 10% Design which included existing conditions investigation and
preliminary environmental review, then through 30% Design which included preliminary stormwater
management, utility coordination, and the establishment of the design direction for Priority 1 areas.
The design proposes wider sidewalks, a healthy and consistent tree canopy, flush (curbless) streets,
and shared spaces, all of which will create a sense of place, where residents and visitors want to
experience and spend time. The flush street design creates an accessible corridor for all pedestrians,
regardless of mobility impairment. Toole Design performed preliminary grading to ensure the flush
street design simultaneously provides proper drainage while meeting accessibility goals.
In parallel to our roadway design, our team is coordinating the hardscape, landscape, lighting, and
furnishings to ensure a design that compliments the historic characteristics of the City as well
as provides a coordinated design that adds beauty and charm to the downtown. The next phases
include finalizing the construction documents through final design and advertisement, including an
anticipated construction phase beginning in late 2023/early 2024.

Toole Design has been working
alongside Athens-Clarke County since
2017 to envision and then implement
bicycle and pedestrian facilities
throughout the entire County.
Our work started with the
development of the Athens In
Motion Bike and Pedestrian Master
Plan, which put specific emphasis
on connectivity, increasing
users, context-appropriate
recommendations, implementing
projects, and integrating with the
University of Georgia (UGA) campus.
Toole Design went beyond traditional
public engagement techniques
to develop a robust grassroots
process for reaching all corners of the community. The result was an implementation plan,
complete with phasing, cost estimates, and keys to success. We developed an education, safety, and
encouragement plan as a complement.
To assist in the implementation of projects identified in the plan, Toole Design developed a GIS based
project prioritization tool. After the tool’s creation, we began to help the County design several
high priority projects from the Plan. To start, we prepared restriping plans for Lumpkin Street to
facilitate the creation of on-street bicycle facilities across the UGA campus. We prepared planning
analysis and concept designs for bicycle and pedestrian facility alternatives along the Barber Street
and Prince Avenue corridors. These concepts included a variety of bikeway types and intersections
that reduce vehicle speeds and provide a low-stress connection within the community. The Prince
Avenue concept was advanced to an on the ground pilot project, which recently received unanimous
approval from the County Commission for permanent installation.
Currently, we are creating additional alternative design concepts for a portion of Barber Street
as well as Hawthorne Avenue and final design plans for Prince Avenue. Additionally, we recently
authored the successful RAISE grant application for North Avenue that resulted in the award of $25
million for multimodal connectivity. Each of these projects (and the others to come) bring Athens-
Clarke County one step closer to achieving the vision established in the Athens in Motion Plan: a
connected, cohesive community where people of all ages and abilities can walk and bike.
