EXHIBIT "A"
(ATTACH SCOPE OF SERVICES/WORK AUTHORIZATION)
Exhibit "A"
Key Biscayne Mobility Master Plan
Scope of Services
Introduction
This proposal is born out of the need to understand traffic, congestion and mobility in Key
Biscayne. In essence this mobility study seeks to find out exactly what the existing conditions
are like, which facilities are performing poorly, which can be fixed, and what it would cost to fix
them.
The study represents a scientific planning analysis of needs, through the evaluation of the multi -
modal transportation system in the Village, by examining the existing conditions, projecting
those conditions out a decade, discovering system failures, and determining the cost to remedy
them. Concurrently, the study includes a more subjective analysis of aspirations, through the
interaction between technical staff, management, decision makers and community
stakeholders to determine the perception of the system and preferred methods of mitigating
deficiencies. Because this is a planning analysis it will be conducted by Corradino's team of
urban planners. No Professional Engineers will be used on this contract.
An examination of this nature represents a progressive approach in the development of
multimodal mobility not only on Key Biscayne, but in Miami -Dade County as a whole. Out of
necessity, many communities are focusing on providing options for people as they travel from
one place to another. This expands the capacity on their roadway (or right of way) networks.
Communities understand that little if any more space can be dedicated to the single occupancy
automobile. The capacity that exists on our roads can be enhanced and expanded without
building significant new lane miles. By using the roadways differently, thereby incentivizing golf
carts, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian mobility, communities can minimize congestion and
enhance the quality of life for its residents, businesses, and workers.
Basic research has been done into how Key Biscayne functions. All in all Key Biscayne is:
• Compact
• Dense
• Geographically Isolated
• Growing
• Diverse
• Either very young or growing older
• Affluent
• Educated
• Mobile
• Flexible in how they allocate their time
• Creative in evaluating solutions to problems

Facts about Key Biscayne
Key Biscayne has a population of about 13,000 people, in about 4,300 households. Yet each day
this population shrinks as about 4,000 workers leave the community, and about 2,700 come in
to work. Only 477 residents also work on Key Biscayne, not including those who report working
from home. This means the working population is highly mobile creating congestion. It also
means that on any given day 2/3 of the total population does not follow regular commuting
patterns, which shows that peak hours may be different than in traditional communities. At this
point, nearly 60 projects are under construction, drawing construction workers and their
equipment.
Over the past decade the Village has seen a significant increase in population (10,507 pop, in
2000), partially due to the fact that the economic downturn was not as pronounced in the area,
evidenced by construction of several condominium complexes in that time period.
Key Biscayne, in regards to transportation planning, has 4 distinct populations:
1) Local residents (and their subdivided groups, including students),
2) Seasonal residents,
3) Tourists/visitors (which may be further subdivided into those with Key Biscayne as a
destination and flow -through traffic to Bill Baggs State Park to the south), and
4) Workers.
Age
Typically on Key Biscayne you will find the young and the not so young. The population
distribution of Key Biscayne shows a community with families and then the elderly:
approximately 30% of the population is persons 18 and younger (the children), and
approximately 37% of the population is persons between the ages of 35 and 59 (the parents of
the children). The population of persons aged 60 and older is 22.7% (the parents of the
parents). Young professionals, those aged between 20 and 34, (typically single, or married
without children) are 8.5% of the population.
The median age is 41.3. 40.4% of households have at least 1 person under 18, and 33% of all
households have at least 1 person 65 and older. The demography of the community is what
would be generally expected in a community with the property values held in Key Biscayne.
Income
Key Biscayne is a wealthy community. Median household income is extremely high in the
community, at $145,313, with the mean income at $252,008. Per capita income is $76,719. Key
Biscayne boasts a highly educated community; 76% of the population 25 and older has a
college degree; at least 90% have attended some college.
2
Vehicle Ownership
Of the 4,347 households, all but 166 of them have cars. 2,766 households, or 63.6% of all
households, have at least 2 cars. This is not unusual given the lack of or perceived lack of
transportation options, and the need for vehicles may be further exacerbated by the fact that
Key Biscayne, given its low altitude and exposure to the Atlantic Ocean, is generally one of the
first communities to be evacuated in hurricane weather.
Workforce Characteristics
Only about 37% of the population of the Village is in the workforce. Key Biscayne has a
population of 8,894 persons 16 and older; of these, 4,843 constitute its resident commuting
workforce. Inflow/Outflow analysis of the community indicates that only 477 of this commuting
population work and live in Key Biscayne. There is a net outflow of people in the community
when it comes to the workforce, with 2,737 people coming into the community but 4,183
people leaving for work; however, Key Biscayne is and is surrounded by state parks which are
popular tourist destinations, and thus has a large population coming in from outside of the
community.
The workforce above vary in terms of modes, 70.6% drive alone, 4.1% of the overall population
carpool. At approximately 75% of workers driving, this trend is less than that experienced
outside of Key Biscayne, while the carpool population's percentage is consistent with trends
seen outside of Key Biscayne.
Public transportation usage is low, at 1.0%.
3.7% walk, which is somewhat consistent with areas outside of Key Biscayne.
15% of the population work at home according to the Census, which is a significantly higher
percentage than the rest of the county.
Community Dimensions and Land Use:
Key Biscayne is a small community approximately 1.4 miles in length N -S and E -W at its widest
points. Crandon Boulevard provides the only main arterial for the community. Attached map
shows that most of Key Biscayne is within the 1/2 mile radius of Crandon Boulevard, indicating
that if the correct destinations exist, there should theoretically be high levels of pedestrians
coming from in and out of the neighborhoods.
Majority of the road network are small residential streets; in addition, Harbor Drive is a 2 lane
road as well.
The commercial area primarily exists along Crandon Boulevard. Configuration of the
commercial area is primarily strip mall in design, with parking lots in front. Crandon provides an
3
E -W split in land use. The west side of the island are more detached family housing and low
density in nature, with the east part of the island primarily consisting of medium and high
density single family residential and hotel uses. Existing land use and Future Land Use map for
2025 show no change for the community. Though technically built -out, continuous
construction/reconstruction of housing currently brings additional workers into the area.
Transportation:
Traffic (Vehicular):
Vehicular traffic in and off the island of Key Biscayne is through the Rickenbacker Causeway.
Vehicular traffic in Key Biscayne is constrained to 30 mph or 20 mph speed limits. Key Biscayne
recently completed a Traffic Calming Master Plan, with implementable projects to reduce
speeding along certain roads. A large portion of the roads have traffic calming measures (Green
lines in map below) already in place.
Crandon Boulevard operates at LOS C. Vehicular traffic, however, is more aptly measured not
by Crandon Boulevard, as legally required and present in the Village's Comprehensive Plan, but
by evaluation of Rickenbacker Causeway as a "bottleneck," which is outside of the Village's
limits.
4
AADT counts for Key Biscayne Roads were 11400 at the junction of Harbor Drive and Crandon
Boulevard, 4000 on Harbor Drive immediately west of this particular junction, and 1600 on
West Mashta Drive. These numbers imply that approximately 7400 vehicles travel down
Crandon Boulevard for all or a portion of this road, either to destinations within Key Biscayne or
to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.
Key Biscayne has instituted a Golf Cart ordinance which allows golf carts; this ordinance has
won an award.
Traffic (Pedestrian):
Roads with sidewalks exist (See map below, blue lines, from Traffic Calming Master Plan), but
the sidewalk network is virtually nonexistent through an overwhelming majority of Key
Biscayne.

Key Biscayne has some good pedestrian designs utilized as part of traffic calming, such as
differences in coloration and materials for pavement at certain points. Higher pedestrian traffic
is expected along Crandon given its connections as an N -S connection between state parks,
access to commercial areas, and as the point of origin and departure for public transit in Key
Biscayne. General reports indicate low pedestrian traffic flow from Key Biscayne west
residential neighborhoods. Pedestrian vehicular conflicts should be a concern now and in the
future. This concern would be intensified with more pedestrian traffic that multi -modal transit
development may produce, and mitigating techniques may be necessary.
Traffic (Bicycling):
Key Biscayne is well connected through the current bicycling system through paths which run
along Rickenbacker Causeway, and Bike Zane/shoulders exists along Crandon Boulevard,
connecting the State park to the south. Attached map shows existing Miami -Dade bicycle
routes in relation to Key Biscayne. Key Biscayne has noted issues with bicycling safety in the
past, with collisions resulting in injury/loss of life, and had explored the possibility of requesting
barrier erections for safety purposes, with the costs being paid for via a new toll for bicyclists.
Bicycling/vehicular conflicts are a demonstrated source of concern for the community.
Residential roads could feasibly be adapted for bicycling, with higher appeal for this mode of
transit especially if traffic calming measures work.
Public transportation:
One MDT bus line runs into Key Biscayne — Route B. This route leaves the Brickell Metrorail
Station and travels south to either Cape Florida State Park or Mashta Drive in Key Biscayne, and
runs on a 30 min peak headway. Route map is attached. The route has several bus stops with
benches, generally off of, but connected to sidewalk right-of-way, with benches.
Ridership range runs anywhere from 45-61k riders a month. It is important to note that during
construction of Rickenbacker Bridge, which closed two lanes, ridership held steady from the
prior year for much of the year. Peak season is in March, which makes sense given the tennis
matches in March, though as a whole, peak season generally runs January -May for ridership.
Other facilities:
A Yacht Club exists in the north of the island, and is used for recreational activities.

Background
This Mobility Plan will be focused on taking the basic understanding of the Village and the
linkages to it, extrapolating them into the future so that the impacts to the transportation
infrastructure are quantified. The deficiencies and surpluses of individual components of the
mobility system will become evident, as will the costs and benefits of their mitigation. Focus
will be placed on further linking all modes of transportation together to ensure that roadways
have the multimodal capacity for modes in addition to the automobile, including personal
mobility devices like golf carts, pedestrian, bicycle and transit, thereby developing synergistic
options for ameliorating service deficiencies. In doing so, each mode will be examined to
determine their level of service on each street and projects will be developed to enhance
mobility and connect the modes.
The following proposed scope of work and budget incorporates extensive data collection and
analysis, an assessment of existing conditions and future needs, development of mobility
projects, and an implementation plan. Further, it addresses the spatial requirements of
elements necessary for effective, safe and secure multi -modal transportation solutions
integrated into normal roadway operations.
Performance of the analysis will depend heavily on quantifying conditions and system
performance in all categories of transportation. Traffic counts, transit ridership data, parking
occupancy and operations, as well as field observations, will lead to the discovery of level of
services conditions on roads, at intersections, transit routes, as well as bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. An examination of existing ordinances and codes will take place to determine if issues
can be addressed legislatively. Research will be done examining what other similar communities
have done nationally to address these issues.
The issue relative to transportation here and in other areas of the county continues to be the
lack of roadway capacity. While thousands of drivers converge on the Village each day, the
system lacks the capacity to maintain an adequate level of service. Many communities in
similar situations have begun to solve this through adding capacity into the system by using
alternative modes of transportation. By assessing transit, bicycle and pedestrian usage and
linking the modes together, multimodal transportation can be addressed, greater mobility can
be achieved, and the quality of life for the citizens and businesses in Key Biscayne will be
improved.
The study will result in a plan that is both visionary and strategic. It will balance the community
aspirations within the physical and fiscal constraints of Key Biscayne. The plan will identify fixes
to roadways and intersections while examining existing bicycle, pedestrian, and transit
infrastructure to identify and recommend improvements to these components of the system.

The goals of the project are to:
• Understand the existing levels of service
• Determine which components of the system do not function appropriately
• Ascertain options for mitigating the deficiencies and the cost to do so
• Determine the desires of the community
• Develop an implementation plan, which has prioritized the top projects
• Ultimately promote safe and secure multi -modal transportation
• Enhance the quality of life
• Study effectiveness of traffic signalization
Scope of Services
The following is a detailed scope of services, schedule, and cost estimate of the project.
Seven tasks are proposed including:
Task 1: Public Involvement
Task 2: Review of Background Information and Previous Studies
Task 3: Data Collection
Task 4: Analysis
Task 5: Project Development
Task 6: Implementation Strategy
Task 7: Reporting
The entire project can be accomplished for a cost of $80,000 in a time frame of nine months.
Task 1: Public Involvement
Cost: $14,000
Duration: Day 1— Day 270
In this task an outreach will be scheduled, including internal meetings, interaction with the
public in workshops and public hearings, as well as meetings with local transportation funding
agencies. Both engaging the public and incorporating public input is a multi -level process that
takes place consistently throughout the duration of the plan development. In doing so, ensuring
the participation of the public will facilitate the implementation of the proposed projects, and
result in a plan that is uniquely tailored to the specific needs of the Village. This task will be
ongoing throughout the project.
Task 1.1 Project Kickoff
Corradino will meet with Village's project management team to formalize the scope of services,
schedule, and deliverables.
Task 1.2 Workshop #1
After the initial data collection is completed, the first of two interactive workshops will be held
to introduce the project to the community and solicit information that can be researched as
part of the data gathering effort. This workshop will introduce the project and explain the
basics of capacity, mobility, and urban design, so that a common understanding of the direction
is held. Past experience has proven that this is an invaluable exercise in moving the process
forward. At this workshop formal project goals will be determined.
9
Additionally the existing and future conditions resulting from the data collection and analysis
will be discussed. A photographic inventory of issues and opportunities will be presented. This
will show what the existing and future conditions of the community are. It will directly point to
specific needs. At this meeting opportunities to focus on specific areas of the community will
be provided through "breakout" sessions, where citizens may visit various tables and provide
detailed input. The workshop will be held within three weeks of the completion of the data
collection to provide time for the existing and future conditions analysis to occur. As a result of
this meeting a list of projects both needed as determined by the analysis and wanted as
gathered from the public will be listed from the public input and future conditions analysis.
This list of projects will be tested in the Project Development task.
Task 1.3 Workshop #2
The final workshop will be held once the list of projects has been tested and the results of the
analysis are known. These will be presented and initially prioritized. This will focus on a
discussion of the projects and prioritization criteria. Each project will then be ranked and
prioritized into the most appropriate time horizon.
Task 2: Review of Background Information and Previous Studies
Cost: $6,000
Duration: Day 1 - Day 30
Key Biscayne is relatively unique in that it is a small island community with one ingress and
egress point. A review of demographic and economic data shows that it is compact, dense,
geographically isolated, growing, diverse, either very young or growing older, affluent, mobile,
and flexible in how they allocate their time. Even in Florida, few communities share these
characteristics. A peer city comparison will be undertaken to examine similar communities and
their solutions to similar problems. This will include yet not be limited to Key West; Miami
Beach; Long Boat Key, FL; Kiawah Island, SC; Cape May, NJ; Block Island, RI; Naples, FL; etc. This
task will consist of a thorough review of all transportation studies impacting Key Biscayne over
the last 20 years. It will assess the regional policy toward multi -modal transportation in this
part of the county. All of this will be placed into context through an analysis of local, regional
and national trends in the field, including what other communities are doing, what the federal
government is incentivizing through the new transportation authorization (MAP 21), and it will
provide an unvarnished assessment of our local adherence and performance relative to these
benchmarks.
Task 2.1: Research
• Peer Cities
• Previous Transportation Evaluations, Master Plans, Bikeway Plans, Transit Plans

Task 3.3: Bicycle and Pedestrian Level of Service
Roadway characteristics of all roads will be collected from FDOT and the Miami Dade County,
supplemented by field visits to obtain typical sections, and a qualitative assessment of the
presence and scale of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, lateral separation of facilities from
motorized vehicles, spacing of driveways and side streets, signal spacing, pavement conditions,
widths of outside through lane, median openings, control devices, speed limits, and main
deficiencies that can be addressed by the study. Pedestrian movement, bicycle travel and bus
transfer activity will be observed and documented at key locations. Crash and fatality data will
be collected. Information on the economic vitality of bicycle and pedestrian communities will
be researched.
Task 3.4: Traffic
It is primarily important to understand what the vehicular LOS is on the roadway network. In
doing so the MPO LRTP Model Data will be evaluated to determine volumes and capacities on
study area links.
Intersections data will be obtained from FDOT and County count stations as well as recent
traffic impact analyses provided by developers. For locations where that data cannot be
obtained traffic counts will be taken. Fifteen locations have been anticipated.
Desired count locations include:
Rickenbacker Causeway @
• Toll
• Bear Cut Bridge
Crandon Blvd @
• Golf Course
• Tennis Center
• Harbour Dr. / Ocean Lane Dr.
• Sonesta Dr.
• East Heather Dr.
• Grand Bay Dr.
• W. McIntyre St
• Galen Dr.
• Enid Dr. / Sunrise Dr.
• W Wood Dr. / E Wood Dr.
• W Mashta Dr. / E Mashta Dr.
• Bill Baggs Park Entrance

Task 4: Analysis
Cost: $ 17,000
Duration: Day 90 - Day 150
The analysis task will use all the collected data to assess the
multimodal level of service.
Connectivity between modes will be assed and rated. During
this phase of the project the analysis of transit, remaining
physical roadway capacity, and pedestrian/bicycle level of
service usage will be undertaken. Existing and future
conditions will be evaluated here. This will be done by
determining the system performance as stated by the Level of
Service for the selected roadways and intersections in the
existing condition, and the future condition in 2020, and in
2035, in the morning and afternoon peak hours of travel. All
13
00
will be determined at a planning level analysis from the FDOT LOS Handbook, Capacity Tables,
and by a review of MPO LRTP Model results.
From the results of the analysis and the input obtained from the initial workshop, an initial set
of short, mid, and long term multimodal alternatives will be developed. Many of the needs will
be gleaned from ideas received in the public involvement portion of the project. This task will
develop and recommend a list of future transportation needs, identify concepts to address the
needs, and analyze the feasibility of transportation concepts.
Several categories of projects will be developed. These include:
Task 4.1: Transit
This will focus on areas of transit level of service (TLOS, from FDOT's Q/LOS Handbook), as it
interacts with areas of existing and planned activity, as well as major trip generators. Focus for
transit projects will be at points of concentration like transit stops, adjacent to trip generators —
e.g. schools, civic organizations, hospitals, etc. This will focus on the evaluation on the
necessity and potential effectiveness of a municipal trolley system, circulator or shuttle.
Corradino has implemented many of these in the past several years. A potential route or routes
will be developed linking residential/commercial areas and major trip generators. Service
characteristics such as capital costs, operating costs, system capacity and headways will be
explored. Necessary elimination or consolidation of stops or the rearrangement or modification
of routes will be recommended as necessary.
Task 4.2: Pedestrian
This will focus on pedestrian amenities and their levels of service (PLOS, from FDOT's Q/LOS
Handbook), particularly as they interface with major trip generators, major intersections, and
locations that have level of service issues. Pedestrian and bicycle projects will focus on projects
that are interconnected with existing bicycle or pedestrian segments, connect to existing major
trip generators, and that improve the level of service for pedestrians and bicyclists. By gaining
an understanding of how pedestrian connectivity between origins and destinations can be
beneficial to the community on many levels, the Village can change both driver and pedestrian
behavior to prioritize the pedestrian. As such a program for the incentivization of these
facilities will be provided focusing on evaluation, education, enforcement, and engineering.
Design guidelines for pedestrian facilities will be provided.
Task 4.3: Bicycle
This will focus on bicycle amenities and their levels of service (BLOS, from FDOT's Q/LOS
Handbook), particularly as they interface with major trip generators, major intersections, and
locations that have level of service issues. Bicycle projects will focus on projects that are
interconnected with existing bicycle segments, connect to existing major trip generators, and
that improve the level of service for pedestrians and bicyclists. A detailed examination of
potential projects will be undertaken focused on the improvement on the level of service, the
14
removal of impediments, or the filling of gaps in the system and the ease of implementation.
Design guidelines for bicycle facilities will be provided.
Task 4.4: Policy
This will focus on transportation policy issues as a means of enhancing mobility. As suggested
in previous master plans, policy initiatives like transportation systems management or
transportation demand management can be incrementally impactful in diminishing congestion.
These techniques such as flexible work hours, zip cars, shared bicycles, congestion pricing, car
pools and telecommuting will move travel out of the peak hours, therefore immediately
impacting congestion. Bicycle, pedestrian and transit policies and programs will be
recommended. An examination of creative policy initiatives across the nation which incentivize
the desired travel behavior will be undertaken. A listing and explanation of the positive and
negative aspects of these polices will be provided.
Task 4.5: Roadway
Projects will be developed to address capacity needs for transit vehicles on the roadway
network. The focus will be to evaluate the roadways to determine if methods of aiding transit
mobility exist. Examples would be queue jumpers, signal priority, managed lanes, bus rapid
transit, bus pull out bays, etc.
Various levels of analysis will be provided. Each is focused on the Level of Service throughout
the Town and the ability to quantify and display traffic movement patterns and trends
occurring today and in the future. The resulting spread sheets could be used as a basis for a
concurrency management system, since they will detail the utilization and capacity of each
roadway link. Traffic counts will be displayed in tabular form by facility. This will serve as a
handbook to detail the condition of each facility in the Village. Detail will be given to:
• Road
• Number of Lanes
• Existence of a Median
• Road Jurisdiction
• Functional Classification
• Number of Traffic Signals
• Segment Length
• Signals per Mile
• Speed Limit vs. Actual Speed
• Roadway Class
• Existing Level of Service Standard
• Service Volume at Adopted Standard
• Average Annual Daily Traffic
• Peak Hour Volume
• Existing Level of Service
• Remaining Capacity
