PETERSBURG PIER LANDMARK/LIVING ROOM _Cover Letter Bryan Eichler September 4, 2014 Engineering and Capital Improvements City of St Petersburg th One Fourth Street North, 7 Floor St. Petersburg, FL 33701 To the Design Team Selection Committee for the St. Petersburg Pier, Ross Barney Architects in association with our Tampa Bay based partner, Long and Associates, is pleased to present our qualifications for your consideration as the Design Team for the St. Petersburg Pier. Our team has the talent, experience and enthusiasm to handle the two important challenges that the reimagining of the St. Petersburg pier creates: conducting a meaningful and resonant public process allowing citizens to contribute to and appreciate the final design and, most importantly, creating a memorable, durable and lovably iconic public space. We have recent experience building public spaces on marine structures like the ongoing $150 million Chicago River Walk project. Recently we designed and executed extremely successful public process for the design framework of the Bloomingdale Trail (now the 606) which will turn a 2.7 mile underutilized rail embankment into a new linear urban park. But while we believe that our past projects recommend us for the Pier, the most important asset we bring is our creative, problem solving vision. Our team possesses the ability to look at the St. Petersburg Pier critically and effectively making a space that will continue to be vital years into the future. This project is challenging and exciting. Because we are so interested in the questions posed by the history, condition of the pier, we took some time to imagine an approach which we include along with our qualifications. Please consider our vision as a beginning not a finished proposal since we lack all important stakeholder input, but we are intrigued with the notion of preserving the Pyramid. We think it can be recast and remolded into a dynamic new experience that stresses its unique position astride Tampa Bay. We are interested in recreating the pier connection as a vibrant, pedestrian centric gathering space. We will study transportation options to arrive at the Pyramid including water taxis and ferries and perhaps a gondola style cable car. I am certain you will be receiving qualifications from many design professionals, local and nationwide teams. But I can promise you that that our team will give you the best and most creative solutions. Please give us the opportunity to show you our ideas for the Pier.

CHECK IF BRANCH OFFICE AUTHORIZED FOR LOCAL REPRODUCTION STANDARD FORM 330 (3/2013) PRIME JV PARTNER SUB CON- TRACTOR _working with multiple clients, sub- consultants and the public Our team has extensive experience working on complicated projects, with multiple clients, the public, and subconsultants. For example, the Bloomingdale Trail Framework Plan entailed multiple public meetings with more than 500 individual attendees. While the client was one city department, the ultimate product, a new park, would be managed by another government agency. We met with both the client and the ultimate manager, as well as other interested public agencies and non-profits, routinely throughout the project. We are especially dedicated to working with the public. Ross Barney Architects’ clients are largely government and institutions. We seek out this type of work because we believe in serving the public. They are the ultimate client. Additional Sub-Consultants Should our team be shortlisted, we may wish to add consultants with expertise in the areas of lighting, acoustics, market analysis, public programming, and community engagement. Minority, Women, Veteran, and Small Business Enterprises Ross Barney Architects is a certified WBE and DBE by the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, and California and would likely also qualify as a Florida MBE and St. Petersburg SBE. We know by our own experience that the work assigned to VOSB/MBE/WBE/SBE team members must be meaningful. If it is not, the VOSB/MBE/WBE/SBE loses the opportunity to gain the experience that will help the company grow into a self sufficient competitive entity. In addition to Ross Barney Architects, our team includes five other VOSB/MBE/SBEs. Long & Associates, the architect and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, and structural engineer, is a VOSB. PlaceMaker Design Studio, the landscape architect, is a Florida MBE and Pinellas County SBE. Polaris Associates, our surveyor, is a St. Petersburg SBE. Scheda Ecological Associates, the marine and coastal biology consultant, is a Florida MBE. Willis Construction Consulting is also a VOSB. ross barney architects City of St. Petersburg Project Management Ross Barney Architects Carol Ross Barney, FAIA Lead Architectural Designer Long & Associates PlaceMaker Design Lex Long, Studio AIA, LEED AP Chris Anuszkiewicz, Architect, MEP, Civil, and RLA, ASLA Structural Engineer Landscape Architect Scheda Gary ADEAS‐Q Engineering Ecological Mormino Jason Collins, Specialties Associates Historian PhD, PE, AICP Group Thomas F.
