ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
SECTION ONE: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Discover Bay Life will transform the St. Petersburg Pier into
Bay Life Park, The Pier, and The Marine Discovery Center. The
existing upland area will become a dynamic waterfront park, the
Pier will be a narrower, pedestrian friendly linear park over water,
and the existing pyramid structure at the pier head will transform
into a Marine Observation and Discovery Center, complete
with a diamond-shaped transformable art sculpture. Phase 1
for Bay Life Park will be accomplished for Thirty Two Million
Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($32,350,000.00), and
includes all of the program required by the City for development.
Future development will include uplands Bay Life Park
completion, replacement of the rubber-tired trolley with a rail
system, and completion of the Marine Discovery Center.
In this narrative you will find a Team Directory, a Design Concept Statement, a description of the Regulatory Approach, a Scope
Definition narrative, a Schedule, and Cost Estimate. The proposed uplands Bay Life Park will be the “front door” of the Pier
redevelopment, with a new fine dining restaurant and enhanced beach experience. The Park will continue as a cherished part of St.
Petersburg’s Bayfront civic space.
Walking, swimming, bicycling, running, windsurfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, beach volleyball, and sailing are just some of the
activities that take place here now, and the intent of Bay Life Park is to enhance and augment visitors’ natural use of the space that
is there. Its ultimate form with restaurant, casual beach bar and grille, waterfront promenades, play areas, outdoor amphitheater,
and enhanced native landscape will all be a “light touch” on the land for locals and visitors to enjoy.
With a new, pedestrian-oriented feel, the transformed Pier will naturally extend Bay Life Park to function as a fishing area, a linear
park over water, and path to the Marine Discovery Center. As a 40’ wide linear park, the Pier will energize St. Petersburg’s open
space like the High Line in New York City. With locations for retail Kiosks and mobile food vendors – stylish Airstream trailers and
food trucks – the Pier will become a 21st century pedestrian marketplace, host to outdoor food festivals, arts and crafts fairs, and
other market opportunities. At the center of the pathway, the Pier will widen to accommodate a central interactive water feature of
pop-up jets for visual relief and a children’s play opportunity.
The new Marine Discovery Center (MDC) with a moving “Diamond” sculpture will evolve the existing Inverted Pyramid and provide
outdoor multifunction gathering space and a dynamic transformable art statement ushering in the twenty first century. At its
bottom level, the Pier continues through the MDC, ending in east-facing steps to the water as an ideal place to watch the rising sun
or host an event. Restrooms and storage space are added at this level. Visitors may take existing stairs and elevators to the third
level. At this level, visitors will view into the lower half of the Diamond, which will house interpretive displays and exhibits. Visitors
may then ascend either a monumental stair, or a large glass elevator to the fifth observation level.
At this level, the glass elevator stops in the center of the Diamond, and visitors may spread out onto a 55’ x 55’ open platform
within the Diamond. Its four sixty-foot tall triangular walls transform: they open and close. This space is connected to another
open air observation platform of similar size on the east side of the structure. The entire fifth floor is approximately 6,000 SF of
open space capable of hosting group functions.

SECTION TWO: DESIGN CONCEPT
A. TEAM NAME | DISCOVER BAY LIFE – A TRANSFORMATION.
Our design solution transforms the St. Petersburg Pier into a new
public destination, an urban living room to receive guests and
showcase the best of St. Petersburg’s lifestyle on the west coast.
Nature and culture, commercial and educational activities are all
augmented with new facilities that tie them together into a single
storyline about the new St. Petersburg Pier. We pay homage to
the past by preserving the existing uplands park, pier form and
pyramidal structure and we look to the future of the St. Petersburg
Pier by transforming these spaces into a new dynamic destination
for all to discover and enjoy. We place humanity squarely in the
center, surrounded by water, and in between the city’s skyline to
the west and the transformative “Diamond in the Pyramid” to the
east.
The space between these two markers is remarkably fulfilling, and is a rare example of successful urban open space straddling
land and water that is distinctly “coastal” St. Petersburg. The uplands, which we christened “Bay Life Park”, is a superb vantage
point from which to grasp the scale of the city and enjoy life in a waterfront park setting, not unlike Central Park in Manhattan or
Stanley Park in Vancouver. “The Pier” becomes a linear park over water with opportunities to fish, shop, eat, play and enjoy the bay.
With the transformative “Diamond in the Pyramid” as the next generation of the existing Pierhead and location for the new Marine
Discovery Center, a definitive spatial point is activated.
Its location is perfect, neither too near nor too far to mark the eastern edge of this large-scale linear waterfront space. The
existing pyramidal building form appears incomplete. By opening up and preserving the pyramid form and structure, the vessellike pyramid structure receives the dynamic Diamond sculpture, completing the overall pyramid form and ushering in a new era of
transformable art, just as Dalí brought his vison of modern art a century ago.
We invite you to Discover Bay Life at The St. Petersburg Pier!
B. STORYLINE | A DAY AT THE PIER
The story begins in the morning. At dawn, fishing poles in hand,
the sky is rosy as the sun rises behind the Marine Discovery Center
(MDC) and people greet the day. At the base of the MDC, steps
descend to the bay, a water-piazza for seekers of the sea and the air
of St. Petersburg.
In the morning, Bay Life Park’s fresh clean air invites joggers,
bikers, and swimmers to use the waterfront promenade. Walking
the dog, reading the morning paper, or having a cup of coffee are
all activities to enjoy in the freshly landscaped park surrounded by
water. Sailboats are anchored in the basin. The morning is tranquil
and bright.
St. Petersburg Pier

ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Weekend mornings, the energy of Bay Life Park is charged with a
market, a sporting event, or a ceremony. It’s exciting to be there,
perhaps for a triathlon, swimmers readying themselves for a launch
off Spa Beach, or a paddle board race, competitors checking their
brightly colored boards while an announcer echoes off the water.
During the day, Bay Life Park is activated by locals and visitors alike.
Some days, it is a quiet place to stroll, a place to fish, or a jogging
course. Some days, it’s a food truck rally, a wedding venue, or an art
festival on the Pier. Every day it’s a gathering place, where residents
feel good taking their visiting relatives to show off their bay lifestyle
and the beauty of St. Petersburg as seen from the water.
Children living in downtown St. Petersburg may be at the sunny beach or playing in the park, an unusual urban amenity that sets
this city apart. Picnics in shady spots under trees are for individuals or small groups to share. A beachside luncheon at the Beach
Bar and Grille restaurant invites casual diners, where flip flops are welcome. Tables and chairs are set up in the sand, or if you prefer
air conditioned comfort, indoors under cover. The rooftop deck sparkles with music, laughter, and its views drawing customers who
like to take in the city and the bay, and witness the transformable Diamond at the MDC.
At the pier, fathers teach their children fishing tips, families enjoy the interactive splash pad to cool off, and enjoy ice cream from
the “Airstream” ice cream shop. Moms and visitors enjoy shopping at the colorful retail kiosks located under palm trees along the
length of the Pier. Grandparents watch the scenery from benches, and behind, in the bay breeze, is a cry: the peculiar camaraderie
of fishermen sharing the victory of someone’s big catch.
Weekdays, school groups may take the trolley to the MDC at the end of the Pier, for
a visit to the transformable Diamond and learn the special bay habitats of marine life.
Children peer over the rail to the aqua blue water below, seeking a fish. At the steps,
a scientist may dip a test tube into the turquoise Bay for a school field trip. Upstairs,
on the third floor: the history of St. Petersburg, all the way back to the elusive Calusa
Native Americans, is etched on glass panels. Exhibits about the early St. Louis
Browns at Al Lang Field, the grand pink Vinoy Hotel with its mysterious vault and
famous guest list, and the early moderns at the Dalí Museum are all etched into glass
panels. On the fifth floor, a breathtaking, sweeping view of the Bay awaits. One can
see the eastern shore,
and looking west through the St. Petersburg skyline, the Caribbean
blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico shimmer in the distance.
By noon, the Spa Beach Steak and Seafood restaurant opens up
offering a finer dining experience. Enjoy indoor dining with a bar that
opens up to the outdoor dining terrace overlooking the beach and
water. With another rooftop deck, the casual waterside outdoor dining
atmosphere invites you to stay all afternoon and watch the sun set -a
relaxed way to end the day. Up on Bay Life Park, a band is performing
sound checks in the amphitheater, and a crowd is beginning to gather.
Marina slips are filling as boaters come in from a day’s sailing. The sun
is setting behind the skyline, and the “Bay Life” is fine.

Lights come on in the evening. St. Petersburg’s famous sunsets of brilliant oranges, vermilions, and purples, has no competition.
While the downtown towers shimmer and glitter, the transformable Diamond at the MDC silently, majestically opens. Rays of light
converge upon its point, changing from reds to yellows to greens, and finally fading to violet to match the eastern twilight. Tonight,
with the Tampa Bay Rays playing a game, the Diamond is lit up with navy and silver. A golden starburst twinkles off the Diamond, it
shutters, and for a brief second Raymond the Fuzzball dances across the Diamond’s face for good luck.
The concert is in full swing at the amphitheater. The sound cannot
be heard from downtown, but across the water, the strains of the
band float to the Pier, enjoyed by a crowd lounging in beach chairs.
The stage lights flash and reflect in the indigo Bay. Vendors in food
trucks do a brisk business of specialty gourmet food and drink, and
a warm night breeze washes over the St. Petersburg Pier. Welcome
to the Bay Life of St. Petersburg!
Three distinct elements make up the Bay Life. Bay Life Park is the
uplands area that already exists, augmented by the Master Plan
suggestions from the City’s workshops with public input. The Pier is
a completely new structure, removing the old vehicular structure and replacing it with a linear park. The Marine Discovery Center is
the ultimate transformation of the Pierhead, preserving the existing pyramid and adding a unique structure to it.
BAY LIFE PARK
The uplands area is already enjoyed by St. Petersburg’s
locals and tourists and yet it still needs enhancement to meet
its full potential. It lacks program uses and spaces, and is in
need of additional landscape to soften the empty spaces and
provide shade. A live performance venue will energize this
open space and will be a central focal point. Gently sloping
earth mounds will complement the outdoor amphitheater,
add subtle spatial definition and a place to play or relax, and
recall Florida’s ancient shell mounds past. These soft, but
important additions will enhance and complete this space
and transform Spa Mole into Bay Life Park.
A perimeter waterfront promenade will invite strolling and jogging, and allow for access to the water, to the beach, to the
amphitheater, and to the park space in general. A public art program will be prominent. Future public restrooms will be near the
amphitheater and the future Beach Bar and Grille venue. A kiosk for renting bikes and beach equipment, like paddle boards and
beach chairs, is included in the first phase. St. Petersburg’s lifestyle revolves around the waterfront, and the Bay Life Park is an
enviable destination, capitalizing on St. Petersburg’s original city plan. This waterfront park is symbolic of St. Petersburg’s living
room and will be a signature place for locals and visitors to enjoy .
THE PIER
The transformed Pier will be a dynamic people place with opportunities to stroll,
fish, observe, play, eat and shop. The pier will now be 40’ wide greatly reducing
the impact to the bay and helping to maintain existing sea grasses. The overall
length of the pier remains the same as the existing pier approach affording great
views of the bay and city, ample room to fish or to just enjoy this transformed
St. Petersburg Pier

ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
linear park over water and people watch. Midway down the pier it widens to 64’ allowing room for an interactive “pop jet” water
feature. Locations for food trucks are provided for unique outdoor dining experiences, and two modified Airstream trailers will be
located adjacent to the interactive water feature for an ice cream and hot dog vendor. Kiosks structures for retail venues will be
clustered at the east pier and west pier sections for outdoor shopping. Palms in precast planters are grouped along the pier edge
to add shade and a green effect with benches and shade structures evenly spaced along the length of the pier. A 20’ wide fire
lane will be maintained the entire length for emergency and service access and allow for the trolley path as an alternate means
of transportation to the MDC. Locals and visitors will be able to enjoy the sun, the wind, and the Bay Life at the transformed St.
Petersburg Pier.
THE MARINE DISCOVERY CENTER
The transformable “Diamond” at the Marine Discovery
Center (MDC) symbolizes St. Petersburg in the new
millennium. With the wave of walkable development
sweeping the country, St. Petersburg will bring locals
and tourists alike out to the Pier to celebrate one of the
finest city waterfronts in the southeast. The idea of the
transformable “Diamond” sculpture in the repurposed
Pyramid structure symbolizes clarity, ascension, and purity.
It symbolizes the water of the Bay, elevated; and it links
Bay Life Park and the Pier itself to a universal symbol of
purity and strength. It also links the past pyramidal form
with the new Hoberman transformable Diamond sculpture
– another nod to the past with a fresh look to the future. It
is transformative representing the dynamic nature of the bay itself and the people of St. Petersburg creating a place where people
want to be.
The MDC itself will be the focal point at the end of the Pier and will be a place to celebrate, to learn, to meet, or to just enjoy the
views and ambience of being out over the water in a dynamic structure. Initially Phase One at the MDC will be more like a “Marine
Observation Center” with limited interpretive graphics and art work. In the future, the City will be able to add interactive learning
and discovery exhibits to this location, and visitors will be immersed in the ecology and marine environment of the bay.
At opening, visitors will still be engaged by the location, the transformable dynamics of the structure itself, the ability to gather and
view the city from the 3rd and 5th level observation decks, and be up close to the water via the steps down to the bay. The space
will be available for special event rental, with catered functions as well as daily opportunities to freely fish or stroll around the MDC.
The MDC will provide a sense of completion to the overall destination at the Pier and Bay Life Park.
COMMERCIAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS
The St. Petersburg Pier is primarily a people-oriented space
to share the great St. Petersburg waterfront atmosphere. As
an open recreation space, it already enjoys pre-eminence
within the population of the Tampa Bay area. Recast as Bay
Life Park, the Pier and its environs will be the star attraction
for concerts, dining, markets and events.
The restaurant and bar at Bay Life Park can be potentially
tied with a national brand to create a special and
unparalleled dining experience. The location at the Pier
St. Petersburg Pier
Discover Bay Life - Design Proposal
December 15, 2014
ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
overlooking the water, the beach and the park all make this a unique destination for a restaurant. By pulling it off of the end of the
Pier and locating it on land, it will eliminate visitor and service traffic from the Pier and enable the restaurant to function effectively.
If the same operator wants to lease both the restaurant and the future casual beach bar and grill, the entire area may become a
food and beverage destination.
As a people place, the renaissance of outdoor markets can be brought to the Pier as a linear park for art fairs, food markets,
sports festivals, craft booths, fireworks displays, and many other commercial activities that will benefit from an intense, intimate
experience along the Pier and around the park uplands. Programming and operating this location over time will make it a habit for
St. Petersburg residents to come on a weekend and seasonal holidays.
For boaters and fishermen, the Pier will add a scenic element to the enjoyment of the waters of St. Petersburg. The Marine
Discovery Center, with the transformable Diamond sculpture by Hoberman, can be programmed with exhibit space revealing the
unique estuary system of the Bay, allowing visitors to descend to the water as well as observe it from above.
TRANSFORMABLE ART
Chuck Hoberman’s transformable Diamond sculpture completes the open shape of the existing Inverted Pyramid. By preserving
the Inverted Pyramid form structurally, the city maintains an iconic part of its past, and caps it with a new transformable structure
that will become a significant visual amenity.
The Diamond sculpture is an 8-faced polyhedron, the most complex and unique of the Platonic solids (square, sphere, pyramid,
tetrahedron, and so on). It will fit on top of the existing inverted pyramid structure cradled between the existing concrete caisson
structures. The bottom half will mirror the shape of the existing building, and the top half, when viewed from outside, will create the
effect of two pyramids mirrored. This new structure in itself will transform the entire Bay with a simple, strong effect.
The existing inverted pyramid has always had a sense of incompletion to it, and its blunt top has always been unresolved. By
replacing this blunt top with the transformable Diamond, several things happen:
•
The sense of incompleteness is reduced, and an unresolved condition is finally resolved. For once, a sense of unbalance
is righted. But this is not done at a cost to the inverted pyramid; instead the original structure is preserved and only the
impure, ragged top part is replaced by a simpler form with more strength.
•
The Diamond shall have 8 faces, symbolizing the equality for which all St. Petersburg citizens strive; equality between
generations, between races, between the city and its neighbors. By offering this form to the public, who can enter and
participate with this sculpture, equality is a condition which one can experience both within and without.
•
The Diamond will add a component to the fine arts pantheon of places within St. Petersburg, between the Dalí, Chihuly,
and other institutions. Just as Dalí’s surrealism was ground breaking in the early 20th century, so transformable art and
architecture is ground breaking in the early 21st century. The diamond thus keeps the momentum going with the arts, and
St. Petersburg is the fortunate recipient of the first world-scale example of this type of structure.
Unlike static public art, which is too often is placed without the public’s participation, the Octahedron will be a public art
commission with which the public may participate. Its range of shape, lighting, and other features are controllable by reserving
a slice of time to express oneself. Access to the control system, whether online or at the MDC, may be developed as a revenueproducing feature for the City of St. Petersburg, or left as a civic amenity. Either way, the art is accessible to all as a grass-roots,
common element of which every citizen may be proud.
As an Urban Living Room, the St. Petersburg Pier is citizens entertain their visitors, showing off their quality of life and the finest
amenities the City has to offer. Its conversation place, Bay Life Park, is the living Room’s sitting area and a place for public
gatherings and events. The Pier is the Living Room’s great kitchen, where all parties seem to end up. And the Marine Discovery
Center, as the living room’s symbolic hearth, will preserve the city’s unique sense of place, proudly adding a jewel to
the mantle for all to enjoy.

Regulatory Agency Review and anticipated timelines
The City of St. Petersburg has stipulated the project shall also be LEED, and the team intends to apply for three LEED categories:
LEED-Existing Building (EB) for the Marine Discovery Center; LEED-NC (new Construction) for the restaurant, bar & Grill, and
amphitheater, and LEED-Neighborhood Design (ND) for Bay Life Park. These three LEED designations, if obtained from the U.
S. Green Building Council, will set St. Petersburg apart from other municipalities as a sustainable, energy efficient, walkable and
healthy city.
1.
Water
a. Description of major systems
The proposal includes removal of the existing the existing piled pier and piles and decking around the existing inverted
pyramid building. Some of the inverted pyramid structural members and foundation (concrete caissons) may be reused
and repurposed as part of the proposed new Marine Discovery Center. A new 40 foot wide piled pier will be constructed
that will serve as an approach to the Marine Discovery Center and serve as a platform for several public features such as
retail kiosks, shade structures, food and beverage offerings, landscaping, interactive fountain, and restrooms, etc. The
proposal will shade approximately 75,140 SF of bay bottom, which is a 63% reduction of the existing plan form. We do
not anticipate any impacts to the existing sea grasses in the area of the pier.
In Phase II, the team proposes to develop a transient marina adjacent to the new pier facilities that will provide up to 47
single-point moorings and approximately 1,285 LF of flexible side-tie dockage for visitors to downtown St Petersburg.
b.
Regulatory Agency Reviews, anticipated timelines
The State of Florida has a joint permit application process for both State and Federal permits required for waterfront
development. The Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) application contains the information necessary for the State
(either Florida Department of Environmental Protection, FDEP or Southwest Florida Water Management District, SWFWMD)
to issue a permit and a water quality certification. We anticipate SWFWMD will be the State permitting agency for the
St. Petersburg Pier
Discover Bay Life - Design Proposal

ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
pier project. The ERP application is also used as the application for the Federal permit administered by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). While the USACE will issue a single permit document for the project, two separate permit
authorizations may be required. The project will definitely require authorization under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors
Act and may also require a permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The ERP application will contain the pier
drawings, a stormwater management design, bathymetric survey information, a characterization of the existing shoreline
and ecological resources, water quality sampling, and written narrative of the project purpose.
Additionally, local authorizations are needed, which include a Commercial and Multi-Use Dock Permit (Pinellas County) and
a building permit from the City of St Petersburg.
The SWFWMD issued a permit (No. 43041030.000) in July 2013 for stormwater management system improvements,
demolition of the existing pier, placement of the demolition material for shoreline protection at the Alfred Whitted Airport,
and construction of a new pier (previous design) and associated transient marina. The USACE has not issued a permit for
the project, but it is our understanding that the City is pursuing a permit from the Corps for the demolition of the existing
pier only. These permits should help to streamline the process for the new design permitting process.
Recent bathymetric and ecological resource surveys are available and are likely suitable for use in the ERP application
after updates and confirmations. Topographic and boundary surveys are also available. As soon as the Pier concept has
progressed to a level where the footprint, deck elevations, and pile spacing are reasonably known, the team and the
City will present the project at interagency pre-application meeting(s) that shows the concept sketched over existing
bathymetry and ecological resources. The sketches should also show the footprint of the existing pier as a point of
reference.
Following the interagency meetings and receipt of agency comments and suggestions, an ERP application will be prepared
that details the square feet of area taken up by the project, dredge and fill quantities, affected wetland areas, and other
necessary information, along with a narrative description and the studies (seagrass mapping, flushing studies, etc.) and a
series of dimensioned drawings showing the existing conditions, planned new structures, planned impacts to resources,
mitigation plans, etc. The drawings show all of this in plan and section views and include where piles will be placed, etc.
Following receipt of the application, the State has a 30 days to review the application for completeness and issue the first
request for additional information (RAI). The City then has 90 days to conduct whatever additional studies are needed,
prepare new drawings, etc. or an extension of time can be requested. After City response to the RAI, the State has 30
more days to review and issue another RAI (or issue the permit). The City should plan for at least three RAIs during the
State review process.
The Corps of Engineers does not have similar time clocks. They will review the application for completeness and issue a
Public Notice (P/N) to the commenting agencies and other interested parties. After receipt of public comments, the Corps
will issue a request to the City for additional information and a response to the public comments. When they feel that all
of the concerns have been addressed, they will write a Statement of Findings (SOF) that follows the process in the Corps
Regulations and discusses the concerns. The Corps can then issue the permit after receipt of the State permit because
federal permit requires a Water Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Act Consistency determination before
it can be issued. Receipt of an ERP meets these requirements.
The City should plan for a permit time horizon of 12 to 18 months if the project is well-received and supported by the
public.

2.
Land
a. Description of major systems
Uplands development on land will include landscape, hardscape, drainage, lighting and addition of various facilities and
structures.
Landscape work will include some mass grading to create earth mounds and a slight depression that accommodates the
amphitheater. Ground cover will include turf, planting beds, palms and trees. Ground cover and planted areas will be
irrigated. Planting beds will be mulched.
Hardscape work includes vehicular paving, curbs, pedestrian paving, and site walls. Seawall work is excluded from this
design proposal.
Paving will consist of asphalt over compacted fill in a minor area that re-works the south parking lot and the drop off area.
Other vehicular paving at the main Trolley Turnaround and gateway area will be combination of natural grey and integral
colored concrete.
Pedestrian paving is designed as broom finish concrete walks. A walkway to the amphitheater, and paving around the two
food and beverage structures, will be designed to carry vehicular traffic for both service and fire truck access.
b.
Regulatory Agency Reviews, anticipated timelines
Bay Life Park will comply with Planning and Zoning regulations in force at the time of permitting. This proposal includes
additional 12 parking spaces (phase 2) resulting from minor revisions to the south parking lot, and the addition of
approximately 8,500 SF of enclosed area to the upland. The resulting FAR on 6.5 acres of open space is 0.03, and is
proposed as a solution to the recommendations of Lambert Advisory. It removes 50,000 SF of enclosed conditioned
space from the existing Inverted Pyramid building.
Because of the nature of this project, its history and integration with the overall Bayfront Master Plan process, a number
of public hearings may be included in the timeline for Bay Life Park. Design time will range from 6-8 months including one
public hearing. Permitting will involve the following agencies:
•
City of St. Petersburg Engineering Department
•
Southwest Florida Water Management District
•
Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Possible additional agencies include Florida Department of Transportation and USACOE. If the project may be submitted
as a revision to previously approved application, the review and approval process may be accelerated. A timeline of 3-6
months is anticipated to complete all reviews.
3.
Vertical Structures
a. Description of major systems in Building Construction
To comply with the City of St. Petersburg’s requirement of a 75 year lifespan, building construction will be simple, lowmaintenance materials designed to resist degradation from use and the environment. A cost premium for this has been
accounted for in our cost estimates.
For the uplands structures, the primary load bearing system will be reinforced concrete. Exterior cladding and
components will include metal-framed glazing units and doors. Roof coverings will include long-lifespan materials such as
standing seam metal roofs. A normal maintenance budget for these materials will include repainting.
St. Petersburg Pier
Discover Bay Life - Design Proposal
December 15, 2014
ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
For the new Marine Discovery Center, the primary loadbearing system will remain reinforced concrete for the existing
structure. A budget has been included for concrete restoration, based upon the property condition assessments. For new
construction within the Marine Discovery Center, a reinforced concrete horizontal deck at level 5 will be added. The Marine
Discovery Center structure itself will be a protected steel box girder attached to the existing structure and covered with a
bonded metal cladding. The metal specification for the exterior finish will be a noncorrosive material that will comply with
the 75-year lifespan requirement. A budget has been included for this system.
Five elevators are included in this design proposal. One each in the two uplands commercial structures will convey
patrons to roof deck dining areas. Each of these will be simple two-stop hydraulic elevators. In the new Marine Discovery
Center structure, two existing elevators will be replaced with new two-stop tractionless geared units, and a third large
glass elevator (6,000 lb) will be added. A typical elevator lifespan can be extended to 75 years with good maintenance and
periodic replacement of major components.
b.
Area and height constraints
Uplands structures – Area and height constraints are based on Florida Building Code for the type of construction
proposed. At this time, Type II B structures with an automatic sprinkler system increase may be up to 46,000 square feet
for business occupancy. The structures are proposed to be 4,000 square feet, well within this allowable area. The uplands
structures may be up to three stories, and are proposed at two.
Marine Discovery Center – Area and height constraints are based on Florida Building Code for the type of construction
proposed, and further restricted by FAA requirements for nearby Albert Whitted Field. At this time, Type I structures may
be unlimited area for A-1 type assembly occupancy, and unlimited number of stories. The proposed height of the new
structure is 100’ AMSL. This is under the height limit of 115’ AMSL, a height interpolated from the document “Master Plan
Update sheet 9” dated January 2007 and provided by the City of St. Petersburg. The base constraint is a new Level 1 at
+8.0’ AMSL.
c.
Fire Protection for upland structures, Pier and Marine Discovery Center
All upland structures will be accessible on three sides by fire trucks. The commercial structures – the restaurant and
beach bar & grill – will be fully sprinklered. The amphitheater, as an open air structure without walls, is not required to be
sprinklered and will be constructed of type I noncombustible materials.
The Pier design proposal includes a designated 20’ fire lane down its center, allowing for ten feet on either side for
programmed events, temporary structures, and mobile vendors. Fire apparatus may completely pull around the entire
base of the Marine Discovery Center, with no reverse gearing required.
The current Inverted Pyramid building will be renovated with a new Marine Discovery Center structure added. As
requested by the Fire Marshal, full access at all four sides is provided at the base for a 75-foot pumper truck. A turning
radius of 50’ is provided.
d.
Florida Building Code
The Florida Building Code Version 5 will be adopted in 2015, and buildings will likely be permitted under this code. Below
is a brief summary code analysis for each of the major construction components of the project.
Uplands structures
The Uplands commercial structures will be designated as Type II protected construction fully sprinklered. The area
development plan separates these buildings more than thirty (30) feet. The uplands structures will comply with FEMA flood
St. Petersburg Pier

ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
elevation of the uplands, currently set at +8.0 AMSL. These structures may be designed with finished floor levels at the
same level as the Base of the Pier without significantly impacting the circulation and functionality of the spaces.
The uplands assembly structure, the Amphitheater, will be an open-air facility with a roof covering the stage and a portion
of the seating. This structure will be a Type I protected structure.
Program elements requested in the RFQ (Marine Discovery Center) will be provided at a later date, and will be
accommodated within the Florida Building Code version adopted at the time of permitting.
The Marine Discovery Center
This design proposal preserves the major structural systems of the Inverted Pyramid. This structure, with the new
construction proposed, will comply with the Florida Building Code Chapter 16 for Wind Force Resistance and ASCE 7 -10
for a Risk Category III building and a wind speed of 155 MPH. The basis of design for the renovated building includes:
•
•
Substantial reduction in “wind sail” of existing structure
•
Removal of existing exterior glazed storefront systems
•
Removal of existing nonstructural stucco exterior walls
•
Removal of interior partitions and other components
Substantial reduction in dead load of existing structure
•
•
Removal of 49,834 SF of existing concrete decking
Substantial reduction of live load of existing structure
•
Removal of 49,834 SF of occupiable floor area
•
Minor addition of dead and live load to existing structure for 1,500 SF new deck extension at Level 5.
•
Elevating the ground level to meet current flood elevation requirements
The new Marine Discovery Center, upon completion, will contain 8,500 SF of open-air occupiable roof deck, of which
1,500 is on Level 3 and 6,000 SF is on Level 5. This design proposal includes a budget for concrete restoration to return
the existing structure to good condition able to provide support for the new Marine Discovery Center and its floor area. To
extend the existing structure’s lifespan to the 75-year criteria, a coating system is included in the budget that will require
only periodic recoating to maintain the original high level of protection.
The report by The Structures Group, dated October 17, 2014 analyzed the original 1970 design criteria for the appropriate
live and dead loads and wind speed in accordance with the 1967 Standard Building Code, and concluded that “overall the
existing building performs well under the current Florida Building Code and ASCE 7-10 loading conditions”. It should be
noted that the Florida Building Code Version 5, which the City of St. Petersburg will adopt prior to permitting this change,
will maintain ASCE 7-10 design criteria and therefore this analysis will continue to be valid after the adoption of the new
FBC.
e.
Regulatory Reviews and Timelines
This design proposal anticipates one public hearing and a review with the Master Plan. The design timeline for the Vertical
structures is anticipated to be 8 months to complete these and an additional 2 months to prepare permit documents, for a
total of 10 months. Agencies anticipated to review the project include:
•
City of St. Petersburg Building Department

•
City of St. Petersburg Fire Department
•
Federal Aviation Administration
•
Florida Department of Health (for kitchen at the Restaurant)
Permit reviews may range in time from 2-3 months.
SUMMARY
Discover Bay Life complies with known regulatory constraints including height and area limits. Shadow over water is reduced to
only 36% of its current area, easing permit compliance. The entire design and permit timeline is approximately 18 months.

SECTION FOUR: FACILITY PROGRAM AND OPERATIONS
PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING THE PIER
The St. Petersburg Pier and uplands is an integral part of the economy and local culture of St. Petersburg and has generated
income from mixed sources, including cultural, entertainment, and rent from commercial entities. The Discover Bay Life team
proposes to continue this mixed income stream, diversify it, and enhance the City’s revenue through programming and activities
guided in part by the recommendations in the Lambert report and in part by the community’s response to the ongoing Waterfront
Master Plan effort.
We propose to generate most of the income stream through programming and commercial leases on the Uplands, through rental
space on the Pier itself, and through group events and sales of the Marine Discovery Center (MDC). In Phase 2, a new marina will
add an income stream. These revenue sources will be phased. The Pier and its associated uplands will be a public park, and will
also have an income-producing overlay of commercial activities to offset operating costs and make the space an active, wellmanaged civic space with a calendar of events and spectacles that will be a magnet for locals as well as tourists visiting Pinellas
County.
Advertising sales may come from ad space on benches, on and inside a trolley car, on buildings, in the MDC, and within a park
wide wireless internet system proposed as a part of the infrastructure of the Pier and the Uplands. The design will also include
art pedestals for display of public art, each of which may come with naming rights for patrons as a part of a citywide “art in public
spaces” program.
This proposal breaks programming and facilities into six categories and two phases as follows:

ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
A more detailed narrative of each of the
revenue-producing program elements is
provided below.
A. PHASE 1 – UPLANDS BAY LIFE PARK,
PIER, AND MARINE DISCOVERY CENTER
(MDC)
Phase 1 improvements will bring online a
restaurant, the Pier, and the MDC. Each of
these components will provide a revenue
stream to the City of St. Petersburg to offset
maintenance and operating costs of the
public space.
RESTAURANT
In the Lambert Advisory report, a fine dining
restaurant was recommended with a 10-year
lease. For this component, the Discover
Bay Life team proposes a 4,000 SF shell space that may be built to attract a restaurant operator. The new location on the Uplands
area, at the western base of the Pier, will reduce operating costs and increase efficiency for a restaurant operator, making the new
location a higher value than the previous fine dining restaurant in the existing Inverted Pyramid.
The shell will oriented to provide a long dining view towards the beach and the water and be able to serve 100 people indoors and
additional 100 people outdoors on a beachside dining terrace. An extra added feature is a 75-seat second level deck, which will
be covered space with views of St. Petersburg and the surrounding area. The restaurant shell will be tenant-ready for a long term
lessee.
The uplands will remain as is in Phase 1, an open grassed area for leisure activities. The seawall remains a fishing spot and the
parking will remain as is. There will be a location near the main arrival area for a retail Kiosk structure that will serve as a “base” for:
bike rentals, beach sport rentals (paddle boards, jet skis, etc), and beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, cabanas, etc).
THE PIER
The Pier itself, upon completion of Phase 1, will be reduced in area to approximately 75,140 square feet in a 40-foot wide cross
section. Eliminating vehicular traffic will free the Pier for pedestrian use and it can be programmed as intensely as the City desires.
As a narrower linear park, its use during outdoor festivals and events will intensify the experience and increase its desirability as a
pedestrian experience. A temporary slab in the center will reserve space for a future trolley rail to be inserted in Phase 2.
With a center pedestrian aisle flanked by two 1,300 foot commercial strips, the Pier may be rented for food, art, craft, sports, and
other festivals that bring the public. Instead of a dead end, however, the Pier will terminate in the Marine Discovery Center, which
can be the anchor for a single temporary use during an outdoor festival (rented to one single sponsor’s display, for example).
Ten rentable parking spots with potential hookups for water and power will be provided along the length of the Pier. These will
capture the trend in mobile vending (food trucks, for example) that has swept cities in recent years. Two of these locations are
envisioned as semi-permanent locations (adjacent to the interactive water feature) to park re-purposed Airstream trailers to house
an ice-cream and hotdog vendor.
St. Petersburg Pier
Discover Bay Life - Design Proposal
December 15, 2014
ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Twelve leasable kiosks structures will be built as “shell and core” small structures (6’ x 8’) and are envisioned as retail outlets
grouped together at the pier. This would be retail relating to Bay Life activity (sunglasses, hats, casual beach wear, jewelry, etc).
Midway along the 1,300 foot Pier, a wider cross-section will allow larger rentable pads for vendors, and provide relief to pedestrians
traversing the pier. An interactive water feature is proposed at this point. Upward spray jets mounted in the slab will be a draw for
children and be popular on hot summer days.
Fishing is associated with the Pier as a favored activity by citizens in multiple reports. Although fishing does not provide direct
income, it provides indirect income through associated spending in the local community, and it validates citizen input into desired
programming. Our design proposes a fishing-friendly Pier with major components as follows:
•
Artificial reef along the Pier length will be composed of material removed from the Inverted Pyramid. This will create a fish
habitat to draw fishermen to the Pier.
•
Above the water, the Pier edge will have a fishing-friendly rail that includes a seating-height bench, a slight cant outward,
and an angled high table at periodic points along the edge for resting fishing poles, baiting hooks, or fillet of a fresh catch.
•
At periodic locations, water supply will be provided for wash down. At light poles, a weatherproof outlet will be included in
the base of the pole for power. These amenities will make the Pier a desirable fishing destination.
At two points along the Pier, single-fixture public restrooms will be provided.
MARINE DISCOVERY CENTER
The Marine Discovery Center (MDC) will be repurposed
from the inverted pyramid structure, preserved in form,
and converted to a series of outdoor elevated observation
decks. In the center, artist Chuck Hoberman has designed
a transformable art structure. Access will be by ticket sales,
which can be individual or group as the location grows in
popularity as an event setting.
The unique structure will be a visual amenity for greater St.
Petersburg, visible from Beach Street and the surrounding
area. With lighting effects at night, the transformable
structure will differentiate St. Petersburg’s waterfront
experience in ways that no static structure can. Mr.
Hoberman’s design is simple and affordable and can be used to promote the City of St. Petersburg as an art destination as well as
a unique visitor experience. It ushers in a new millennium in large-scale kinetic art.
In addition to ticket sales for touring the structure itself, the City may further gain revenue by allowing public manipulation of the
structure’s movement. A fee-based reservation system will allow an entity to control the sound, light, and transformation for a
period of time (say, an hour or a day) to create a certain effect for a specific duration. As an advertising medium, light projection
onto the transformable walls of the Diamond may be sold as well. Additional revenue can be generated from allowing groups to rent
the space for special events and host a catered event at the MDC.
B. PHASE 2 - UPLANDS BAY LIFE PARK, MARINA DEVELOPMENT, LIGHT RAIL TROLLEY, AND MARINE DISCOVERY
CENTER (MDC)
In Phase 2, additional revenue streams may be brought on, augmenting the income from the Pier. These include a Beach Bar &
Grill, an amphitheater, and a marina.
St. Petersburg Pier
Discover Bay Life - Design Proposal
December 15, 2014
ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
The Beach Bar and Grill was recommended by Lambert Advisory and is implemented in this phase. It will be a structure with the
same business model as the restaurant – a shell delivered by the City to a tenant with a long-term lease to fit out the building. The
Beach Bar and Grill will be similar in size with a second level deck also. It will have a small kitchen for casual dining and be able to
serve out to the beach.
The city may, in Phase 1, designate a performance venue on the uplands to begin working out the operations of a future
amphitheater. When a permanent amphitheater structure is built in Phase 2, the operational knowledge gained in Phase 1 will
inform the design of the amphitheater in terms of capacity, crowd control, ticketing and stage management.
The amphitheater is intended as a live performance venue with raised stage and overhead cover. A shallow grassy bowl will house
500-700 audience, and could be feasibly gated so that tickets may be sold. The City, as venue provider, may get a percentage of
the ticket sales.
The design sandwiches the amphitheater between two earth mounds, which could provide additional seating with good views.
This will raise the audience capacity to 1,000 or more. Amphitheater capacity will need to be balanced with traffic and parking to
optimize income from this program element.
In Phase 2, we propose to bring a light rail trolley online to move people efficiently between the uplands and the Inverted Pyramid.
The electric trolley line (powered by batteries – last up to 1.5 days use) will extend from the Pier Head to the portal of the MDC,
and the trolley car will simply reverse and return west. It is intended as an open-air, 20-seat rail car travelling at low speed stopping
frequently so as not to impede pedestrian traffic. During events on the Pier it will move at a pace compatible with pedestrians to
safely traverse the distance. The trolley is intended as a free service to increase efficiency of people movement and enhance the
Pier experience.
MARINA
The Lambert Advisory report recommended the City consider adding a Marina to the park, to take advantage of rising demand for
boat slips. We propose to bring a Marina online in Phase 2 of this development.
On the west side of the uplands, we propose to include a new dock that will run parallel to the seawall spaced away from the wall.
This allows an accessible ramp down from the seawall to the dock itself, and minimizes dredging needed to provide boat slips. In
addition to this dock, the design proposes 49 “mooring points” at which boaters may tie, and transport to the shore with a dinghy.
Mooring balls are an economical, low-impact marina development strategy that will provide income to the City at a low cost.
SUMMARY
With two food and beverage venues, group event space, vehicular rental hookups on the Pier, festival rental, an amphitheater,
marina, and the Hoberman transformable Diamond sculpture manipulation sales, our team’s proposal has a broad, diverse set of
income streams that offset development costs and mix tourism and local economies together.

B. COST ESTIMATES
i. Cost Narrative
We propose to redevelop the St. Petersburg Pier and Uplands in two phases. The first phase is estimated to cost $32,350,000.00
across a three-year design, permitting, and construction period, as compared to the $33,000,000.00 allocated for this phase.
The second phase is estimated to cost $8,150,000.00 across a two-year design, permitting and construction period. This cost
includes a successfully funded Boating Infrastructure Grant, available from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which as a matching
grant will fund 50% of the cost of the Marina.
The cost of the Discover Bay Life proposal when it is fully mature is $40,500,000.00.
Our cost estimate is broken down into eight centers. Phase 1 includes four of these cost centers and Phase 2 includes four.
A.
1.
2.
Phase 1 cost centers include:
Uplands Area Development –Approximately 1.03 acres of area development is included in Phase 1. This includes
demolition, earthwork, and horizontal improvements to the Project Area site. Hardscape, landscape, infrastructure,
paving, lighting, grading, drainage, welcome signage, and underground utilities are included in this cost category.
Uplands Vertical Structures – Four vertical structures are included in Phase 1 as follows:
a. Restaurant – 4,000 SF one-story structure with accessible rooftop deck, tenant-ready for operator. The shell (not
including kitchen) and pad, including one two-stop elevator for fully accessible second floor deck, will be designed to
national brand standards in terms of ceiling height, dining layout, kitchen size and service.
b. Rental, Information and Ticket Kiosk – 60 SF one-story self-service kiosk for rental equipment, MDC tickets, and
information about the pier. It is envisioned that this would be a leasable structure for a vendor to operate.

c.
d.
3.
Shade Structure at Trolley Stop – Approximately 1,000 SF of canopy to provide shade at west end trolley stop.
Portal Element – Allowance for single portal element as an artist’s commission.
Pier – The Pier is intended to be rebuilt to pedestrian-friendly standards, eliminating vehicular traffic except for necessary
fire and life safety lanes, and promote the Pier as a linear park over water for the City of St. Petersburg. In the center
of the pier we propose a Phase 2 trolley rail transportation system, open-air trolley to enable MDC visitation. The new
Pier will be a concrete-topped surface with fishing-friendly side rails, light poles for night time security, power, water,
and restrooms to turn the Pier into a civic amenity ready for outdoor food, art, retail and other specialty festivals. Shade
structures may be added in Phase 2 to further
enhance the Pier experience. Our cost estimate
includes the following assumptions:
a.
Narrow cross-section: We propose to
build back a narrower Pier with a cross section of 40’
– 0” typical (with one section widened to 60’ - 0”).
The new cross-section will be structured to reduce
conflict with existing piles.
b.
Pier structure: The new pier structure
will be composed of 370 50’precast concrete piles,
with a poured-in-place reinforced concrete pile cap
across each span of piles. Precast concrete planks
will provide primary decking.
c. Topping: The new pier structure will include a concrete topping with center crown, and allow for some area of feature
paving (colored precast brick pavers) in the center portion.
d. Rail: The new pier rail is designed as stainless steel rail support. This is a feature designed to enable fishing along
the pier’s length.
e. Midpoint Feature: At the midpoint of the pier, the width increases by 10’ on either side to accommodate a 400 SF
interactive water feature and two food vendor locations.
f. Utilities: The new pier cost includes utilities underneath the elevated deck to the MDC, and the following utilities
along the Pier:
St. Petersburg Pier

ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
DOT
Water –for restrooms, water feature, hose bibbs for maintenance and for general public.
Sanitary sewer – two sets of restrooms are included on the pier (see below).
Power – weatherproof outlets will be spaced along the pier, mounted in the bases of light poles.
Lighting – Security illumination will include 18’ high poles with fixtures to provide illumination to pedestrian (not
vehicular) criteria.
g. Vertical structures: Two sets of single-fixture restrooms are located at ¼ points along the length of the pier. One-story
ventilated structures approximately 100 SF each, two men + 2 women/family restrooms are anticipated.
h. Pile Coordination: Our team noted that the equipment and personnel to remove the existing Pier is included in the cost
assumptions by the City’s preconstruction service provider, Skanska. The extra cost for divers and equipment to pull out
piles where a conflict does occur is incremental to the overall cost for a barge and pile removal team.
4.
Marine Discovery Center – Our design proposal includes selective demolition of the existing inverted pyramid building
and new construction to create an outdoor space. For new construction, no interior conditioned space is included in our
proposal. The space is intended to be controlled access via reservation system and automatic kiosk-generated tickets, and
can be feasibly operated at a basic level with no permanent onsite personnel. Our cost estimate is broken down as follows:
a. Demolition - selective demolition of the existing structure is based on structural analysis in Chapter 4. Existing
concrete components to be removed may be recycled as fishing reef elements surrounding the Pier to enhance fishing.
It was noted in the meeting of November 2 that the demolition contract for the Inverted Pyramid was discounted to
St. Petersburg Pier
Discover Bay Life - Design Proposal
December 15, 2014
ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + INTERIOR DESIGN + LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
include salvage costs. Salvage value is primarily in metal, and this value is preserved in our proposal by removal of all
the non-concrete-encased metal (exterior storefront panels, MEP systems, and so on). Concrete-encased steel is not
considered recyclable except by special, high-cost processes and we do not believe this is feasible for this project.
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
Removal of all nonloadbearing vertical planes – interior partitions and curtain walls.
Removal of all construction above Level 5, the widest topmost deck.
Removal of certain portions of the existing stair tower walls.
Saw cut and removal of approximately 23,000 SF of 5” concrete floor deck
Removal of all existing plumbing, mechanical, and electrical equipment.
b.
Concrete repair – After demolition is complete, some concrete repair work will be necessary. Con-Tech, a
concrete restoration specialist, has anticipated 300-400 cubic feet of concrete based on available information. A cost
per cubic foot has been used based upon a normal repair protocol.
c.
New Concrete Deck and Monumental Stair – a new cantilevered deck projecting to the east on Level 5 will be
tied into the existing structural system. The monumental stair ascending from Level 3 to Level 5 will be concrete.
d.
e.
Structural Steel
i. Existing Structural Steel repair – after demolition is completed, some existing structural steel will need to be
repaired and/or replaced. This is included in the concrete repair line item above.
ii. New Box Girder for Diamond – The new Diamond will be designed as two 4-legged pyramidal shaped box girder
structures. These eight box girders will support the transformable walls.
iii.Supports for Box Girder – Structural steel supports will attach the new Diamond box girder to the tops of the
existing reinforced concrete stair walls.
iv. Support System for New Glass Elevator – four braced columns will be inserted into the structure to support the
Glass Elevator in the center of the Inverted Pyramid.
v. Level 1 Steel Framing – This will support the walls and roof of the new restroom and storage facility on Level 1.
Roofing and Waterproofing – Three components are provided as follows:
i. Waterproof topping over concrete deck – a cementitious waterproof topping will be added to the concrete deck
to provide walkable moisture barrier.
ii. Roof over new enclosed areas Level 1 – Standing seam stainless steel (with a lifespan of 75 years) is proposed.
Cost includes entire roof assembly.
iii. Curtainwall panel system at Diamond – the steel box girder will be clad in stainless steel curtainwall system.
The cost was estimated based upon conversations with Zahner.
f.
Finishes – The following cost assumptions are provided for finishes:
i. Handrail – above Level 1, stainless steel handrails are proposed .
ii. Flooring – an allowance for quarry tile flooring in the two enclosed areas is included.
iii. Coatings – A 3-part system is proposed over the existing and new concrete structure of the Inverted Pyramid,
to extend its lifespan to the 75-year criteria. With this system, the only costs will be periodic repainting. A
cementitious latex-based coating will be applied to the surfaces of the concrete-encased steel structure, with
fabric embedded into the coating. A topping coat will provide a paintable substrate. This coating specification
was provided by Hydrostop, Inc. representative Dirk Andrews who is familiar with the Inverted Pyramid and
reviewed the documents to prepare a cost and systems approach.

g. Appliances and Equipment – a cost allowance is included for permanent exhibits relating to the facility program for the
structure. These are proposed as a combination of etched glass panels, glass-enclosed cases for temporary displays,
and elements embedded into the floor.
h.
Special Construction – the four transformable wall systems are designed by Chuck Hoberman in collaboration
with Zahner Curtainwall Systems. These will consist of center-pivot stainless steel blades, approximate 9” – 12” wide,
sliding in a top rail to open and close. Motors actuating the mechanism will be housed within the pyramid’s four legs and
will be computer-controlled.
i.
Elevators – Two types of elevators are included:
i.
The existing Inverted Pyramid has 5 elevators. Our proposal includes demolition (and salvage rights) to 3 of
these elevators, and rehabilitation of two remaining. Cabs, control systems, and motors will be replaced to meet currently
enforced codes, and the elevators will be reduced from 5 stops to 2. Elevators will be rotated 90 degrees to face east,
and the cost estimate includes new openings in the existing reinforced concrete walls at two (2) locations per elevator.
Costs were estimated in a conversation with Otis Elevator in Tampa, Florida.
ii.
A new glass elevator is proposed at the center of the Diamond. The elevator will have 2 stops, rising from Level
3 to Level 5, and be a 6,000-lb cab capable of holding a larger group. The elevator cost was estimated in a conversation
with Otis Elevator in Tampa, Florida.
j.
Fire Protection – fire alarm systems are included in the scope of this project.
k.
Plumbing – Two new restrooms at Level 1 are included, and small restrooms at Level 3.
l.
Ventilation – the new enclosed structures will be ventilated, but not air conditioned.
m.
Electrical – in addition to a new power and lighting system for the structure, a show lighting system will be
included. At this time a lump sum allowance is included for Phase 1 which can be expanded over time.
i. New focused light sources at the tops of the existing diagonal braces
ii.New uplights along the top surface of the “girdle” of the Diamond
iii.New downlights along the diagonal edges of the Diamond
iv.New lighting within the 3-dimensional grid of the Inverted Pyramid.
B.
Phase 2 cost estimate includes:
1. Transportation – a new light rail trolley with approximately 1,800 LF of rail is included. One electric, open-air
trolley car is included. The cost estimate is based upon research of recent electric trolley systems, most notably
the City of Cincinnatti’s system, which opens in 2016. The first phase downtown will be approximately $20,000 per
linear foot or $102 million for 4.5 miles of rail. This is a complete system cost including 18 stops, 6 streetcars, land
acquisition and parking areas, design, management, and a maintenance shed.
a.
Rail track – Interpolating of the cost for Cincinnati’s system was used to create a cost estimate for
the rail track. The Downtown line in Cincinnatti is approximately $20,000 per linear foot of track. Shedding the land
acquisition, parking lot improvements, extra stops and extra rolling stock, a conservative cost estimate at 50% of this is
included.
b.
Car – The car will be an open-air, unconditioned 20-seat vehicle with low floor for accessibility. The City

of Cincinnati chose an economical Urbos car being constructed by CAF in Spain. This car could be easily adapted to the
needs of the City of St. Petersburg, and if the city contemplates rail line extension, additional cars can be easily adapted
to this design.
2. Uplands development – the remaining uplands north of the Pier is proposed to be redeveloped to include a
Beach Bar and Grill, an amphitheater with public restrooms, and a waterfront promenade. Cost estimate includes:
a.
Earthwork – two 8’ high earth mounds and one 8’ deep earth depression will form a natural amphitheater. Net
additional fill is included in this estimate.
b.
Utilities – Underground power, water supply and sanitary sewer utilities are included. Parkwide wireless internet
access is included. Security lighting is included.
c.
Landscape and Hardscape – the landscape and hardscape plan is used for area takeoffs of paving, turf, planting
and trees.
d. Bar and Grill – Building shell for 4,000 SF one-story space tenant-ready for beach bar.
i.
ii.
e.
Vertical circulation including 2-stop passenger elevator for roof deck seating.
Small kitchen for limited food service.
Amphitheater – Approximately 4,000 SF covered area for performance space.
i.
ii.
iii.
1,000 SF concrete slab-on-grade elevated stage with retaining wall perimeter
Natural turf bench-style seating
Power improvements sufficient for concerts. Access is provided for location management (performer to bring
all sound and light equipment).
f. Men’s and Women’s restroom facility – one-story, 20-fixture facility to be slab-on-grade, concrete unit masonry with
standing seam metal roof. Facility will be ventilated but not air conditioned.
g. Parking area improvements on the south side parking lot (increase of 12 parking spaces) with additional landscape and
upper “beach” promenade along the existing seawall facing the bay.
h A second Chuck Hoberman transformable sculpture to be installed at the trolley turnaround, presenting the public with
a gateway to the Pier. This structure will be based on the movement of sea grass and be the centerpiece to a public art
program that the City may curate, on a rolling basis, throughout Bay Life Park, to bring visitors and citizens to view new
installations over time.
3.Marina – A new marina composed of 1,282 linear feet of side tie dock and 49 mooring points spaced in the water is
proposed in the
existing basin. The cost estimate for the Marina was provided by ATM, our marina consultant.
