Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is the ideal consultant to partner with the City of New Smyrna Beach and the
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as you begin a Brownfields Assessment Program through the utilization of your
EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant. We understand and appreciate the fact that this project has strict deadlines that must
be met. In fact, that need for strict deadline adherence is one of the ways in which our team’s extensive Florida brownfields
experience will serve you well.
We are completely familiar with and highly experienced in all stated aspects of this project:
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Identification and inventory of brownfield sites
Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs)
Remediation and reuse planning for assessed sites
Environmental justice
Public outreach activities
Programmatic and grant support
Because of our extensive planning, site civil design, and permitting experience, we are able to integrate these services
into an overall turnkey approach to brownfield redevelopment. Every step we take in the brownfield process is directed to
redevelopment and reuse. Everything we do is focused on an end use—not just completion of an environmental report.
Responsive, Accessible Contacts. Kimley-Horn strives to deliver not only technical excellence, but also timely
service and practical, money-saving solutions. We are a responsive, readily available team committed to examining ways to
reduce costs and working with you to define specific needs and implement sound engineering solutions. The environmental
site assessment and characterization services associated with this assignment will be completed primarily out of KimleyHorn’s Volusia County, Jacksonville, and Tampa offices.
Your primary Kimley-Horn contacts are our proposed project manager, David Goldman, P.G., and Mike Hale, P.E., LEED®

Ms. Noeleen Foster, CRA Program Manager, City of New Smyrna Beach
October 26, 2009, Page 1–2
David Goldman has managed similar brownfields programs with outstanding success. He has worked on every brownfield
project Kimley-Horn has undertaken, and he has personally brought a total of 12 Florida brownfields projects to full
construction and redevelopment completion under state and federal programs. As a result of these efforts, David has
developed long-standing, professional relationships with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 brownfields and technical regulatory communities.
Mike Hale, who is located in our Volusia County office and is a long-time New Smyrna Beach resident, will also be an important
member of our team, serving as a local project liaison and task leader for community/public outreach. His understanding of the
local area and the City’s long-term planning and development goals will be invaluable as our team assists you in this program.
Agency Coordination and Funding. Many of the tasks necessary to implement a successful Brownfields
Assessment and Community Outreach Program require agency coordination. Through our experience on similar projects,
we have built strong relationships with the agencies that will be working with the City. We routinely work with FDEP and
understand the Department’s guidelines for brownfields funding and reporting, tax credit opportunities, and permit approval.
Our team has also worked with the EPA in securing and administering grants and low interest loans for remediation of
brownfields properties in Florida. Our relationships with these agencies will facilitate the smooth implementation of your
Brownfields Assessment Program. Our ability to assist clients with funding issues is unquestioned: Kimley-Horn has secured
more than $70 million in grant funding for our clients. Furthermore, on a firmwide basis this past year, we assisted with or
submitted applications for more than $450 million in grants for our public and private sector clients.
Brownfields Program Experience. Kimley-Horn has worked on no less than 20 brownfields projects within
the State of Florida. We know the program and we know the regulators because we have successfully provided a
comprehensive range of services so many times. These services have included brownfields assessment, environmental
remediation, public outreach, and urban redevelopment. Our brownfields projects in Florida and EPA Region 4 have won
awards from state and national organizations and have been used by FDEP as examples of how to address, clean up, and
redevelop a contaminated property. In fact, we were just awarded the 2009 Phoenix award for EPA Region 4 for our Midtown
Miami project. This award is given on an annual basis to those projects that, on a national level, provided the greatest benefit
to the community and are considered the “best of the best.” Midtown Miami is only the third Phoenix award recipient in the
State of Florida over the last 10 years, and it stands as an outstanding example of how Kimley-Horn is able to integrate its
full range of services on a brownfield redevelopment project.
Reuse Planning. A vital component of a brownfields redevelopment project is the consideration of a project’s end
use. Reuse planning should be initiated at the onset of the project. This early consideration can benefit the assessment
planning stage that the City and CRA will be implementing through establishing clean-up criteria applicable to the proposed
redevelopment. Kimley-Horn can assist you in developing cost-effective assessment plans based on various end-use
considerations. Should a proposed redevelopment plan change, Kimley-Horn has the proven ability to quickly adapt and
implement the steps necessary to assist in evaluating environmental impacts to newly proposed end-use requirements.
Brownfields Urban Redevelopment. During implementation of a brownfields program, our goal is to protect human
health and the environment, and we are eager to assist the City in promoting sustainable redevelopment through the use of
green building and greenspace designs. With Kimley-Horn, you have access to highly successful redevelopment and reuse
experts whose core disciplines encompass integrated engineering, planning, and environmental expertise. With a keen
insight regarding what is required to make a project successful from acquisition to final development, Kimley-Horn can help
the City and CRA reach your goals while taking a creative, comprehensive approach to development that works with the
natural environment, enhances local and regional economies, and results in a healthy, resource-efficient community.
Subconsultants. In planning for the revitalization of contaminated sites, there is a wide array of considerations to
be reviewed. Considerations that can affect the community, potential developers, future site owners, and interested
Ms. Noeleen Foster, CRA Program Manager, City of New Smyrna Beach
October 26, 2009, Page 1–3
stakeholders include cleanup, reuse, and long-term site management. Other considerations that need to be reviewed include
legal liability; the building of partnership to support and revitalize contaminated properties; insurance options as a tool to
quantify and transfer risk related to contaminated site cleanup costs; and additional grants and funding. From our history of
providing urban redevelopment and brownfields program management, we have developed a network of teaming partners
to assist in addressing those considerations. In addition to Kimley-Horn’s in-house experts, our team for this project includes
four subconsultant partners:
Q
Q
Q
Q
G&S Good Environmental. Inc.
Millennium Laboratories, Inc. (MBE)
Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc. (SEARCH) (MBE)
Wombat Environmental, LLC
G&S Good Environmental, Inc., will provide assistance with the completion of Phase I and II Environmental Site
Assessments (ESAs). Millennium Laboratories, Inc., is certified by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation
Conference (NELAC) and will be conducting laboratory analyses of soil, sediment, air, groundwater, and surface water
samples. Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc., (SEARCH) will provide services in conformance with the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Wombat Environmental, LLC (Wombat) will be providing all of the drilling and boring
services under this contract.
Like the City and CRA, Kimley-Horn embraces the use of Disadvantaged/Minority Business Enterprise (DBE/MBE) firms
whenever possible and practical. In 2008 and the first half of 2009, Kimley-Horn paid DBE/MBE firms across the country
nearly $24 million in fees. To continue that commitment, two of our subconsultants, Millennium Laboratories, Inc., and
Southeastern Archaeological Research, Inc., are certified MBEs under the provisions of Chapter 287, Florida Statutes.
Cost Effective. Kimley-Horn has a long history of providing reuse planning while weighing the impacts of redevelopment
with environmental challenges. Our brownfields redevelopment approach is based on the simple principle of form follows
finance: a project cannot make an impact if it is never implemented. Because we have completed so many brownfields
projects, we know the type of information that is required, and we know how to cost effectively collect that information.
Through the use of our field screening tools, site assessment approaches, and expedited site assessment activities, we can
reduce overall assessment costs and time, maximizing the return on your grant dollars. Our approach of using a local firm
to assist in the completion of Phase I and II ESAs and the implementation plan provided in our submittal provide a costeffective solution to generating the environmental information needed to facilitate brownfield redevelopment within the City.
EPA Terms and Conditions. This affirms that we have read, understand, and agree to comply with the EPA’s Terms
and Conditions that were attached to your Request for Qualifications as an exhibit.
Summary. Through the selection of the Kimley-Horn Team, the City and CRA are accessing not just an environmental
brownfields program expert, but rather a turnkey brownfields redevelopment team that can provide access to the many
disciplines required to attain the long-term vision of community redevelopment and environmental justice. We are eager to
assist the City and CRA in the implementation of this program, and we sincerely appreciate this opportunity to present our
qualifications to you.
Very truly yours,

3. Corporate Experience—Similar Projects
Kimley-Horn has the ability to integrate our environmental expertise with our land development skills and
experience to provide the entire range of required brownfield consulting services. Through our local and statewide
knowledge, experience with contamination assessment and remediation, professional relationships with regulatory
authorities, and expertise in community outreach, planning, site design, and development, we have developed a
highly successful brownfield practice that is focused on results. Our team is differentiated by its integrated, inhouse disciplines, which are the core of redevelopment, and which we would like to provide to the City of New
Smyrna Beach. The following is a list of our credentials:
Core Services. Kimley-Horn knows environmental contamination assessment and remediation, urban
site civil permitting, design, planning, and reuse implementation. We integrate these services on a daily basis
through brownfield programs and other redevelopment efforts to ensure project success that meets regulatory
requirements as wells as community reuse objectives. We have worked on more than 250 redevelopment
sites within the State of Florida where contamination was perceived to be present. Many of these sites were
redeveloped outside the State Brownfield Program and Rule 62-785 Florida Administrative Code (FAC), but all
still required the same level of assessment and integration of site assessment and remediation with planning,
design, and construction.
Brownfield Redevelopment Programs. We have successfully worked on no less than 20 brownfield
redevelopment program sites in the State of Florida, providing full support related to grant management; EPA
and FDEP regulatory negotiations, coordination, and reporting; assessment and remediation environmental
technical expertise; community outreach; reuse planning; and civil and infrastructure engineering services.
New Smyrna Beach Focus. Our team has worked on 20 environmental projects within the City, and
we have worked with the CRA in providing professional engineering services. We understand the City’s vision
and priorities when it comes to redevelopment and managing environmentally impacted areas, and we can
integrate this assessment program with the update to the master plan that will soon be released.
Grant Management. Our team’s grant management experience consists of working with cities, counties,
and other public entities and includes the use of BEDI, EPA assessment, community block, renewable energy,
and various other federal grants. Our staff has a proven track record with the implementation and management
of these grants and has secured more than $70 million in grant funding for our clients. In the past year alone,
we assisted with or submitted applications for more than $450 million in grants for our public and private sector
clients.
Agency Relationships. Our project manager, David Goldman, P.G., and other Kimley-Horn professionals
have worked extensively within EPA Region 4 and the Central District of the FDEP Brownfields Program. David
has developed strong professional relationships that span decades with these agencies. In fact, the Brownfield
Liaison for this FDEP district is George Houston, P.G., who attended graduate school at the University of
Florida with David and has known him for nearly 25 years.
3–1
Brownfield Program Contributions. Through our knowledge of how to develop these properties, we
have generated more than $700 million in capital investment for the redevelopment of brownfield sites. We
have obtained more than $3.5 million in tax credits and grant funding for our clients. In addition, our successful
brownfield projects have generated millions of dollars in tax revenues upon completion.
Assessment Experience. We know the ASTM standards and how to cost-effectively complete Phase I
and II ESA reports in a timely manner. Our staff has served on the ASTM committees developing the Phase I
and Phase II ESA standards. We have also developed Phase I and II ESA protocols that are used by privatesector clients across the nation. Our assessment protocol not only meets ASTM standards, it goes beyond just
assessment to take into account the end-use of the property as well as the impact of site contamination upon
site design, permitting, and construction.
Environmental Justice. We can provide enhanced community outreach and involvement through
newsletters, informational websites, and public meetings. We are well versed in utilizing planning and
visualization tools to assist in informing and educating stakeholders and citizens. Our focus in working with the
community is to provide a constant, reliable representative for the City’s Brownfields Program—one who has
a grass-roots understanding of how to obtain environmental justice for the neighbors involved and to building
consensus within the community. We want community “buy-in” for our projects, and we know how to obtain it
through public outreach.
GIS Implementation. Our Geographical Information System (GIS) and data management capabilities
have helped our public clients inventory, categorize, and understand the potential for brownfield development
through the creation of GIS databases and programs that manage environmental data. These programs have
relational capabilities to query and graphically display information as it relates to specific qualifications and
categories. We work with our agency representatives to define goals and develop the tools required so that
they are not reliant on consultants to maintain the data. We also provide the training and manuals necessary
for them to ultimately be self-supporting. The agencies we’ve worked with have enjoyed long-term savings as
well as educational enhancements.
As you can see, Kimley-Horn has the experience and resources to help you meet the terms of the Cooperative
Agreement between the City of New Smyrna Beach and the U.S. EPA. We view our partnership with you as
a commitment to assist in the federal grant process and to cost-effectively collect, assimilate, and report the
information. We would like to partner with the City to minimize the burdens of tracking/reporting data and funding
associated with this assessment grant, while continuing to focus on future reuse planning and redevelopment.
Because of our experience with similar projects, our understanding of the area, and our overall familiarity with the
land development process within New Smyrna Beach, we know how to acquire the data needed to assist the City
in executing a successful Brownfields Program and ultimately achieving constructive community redevelopment.
Our commitment to the City, coupled with our extensive experience, gives us the confidence that the KimleyHorn Team is best qualified to help implement this program through the tasks identified in your Request for
Qualifications.
3–2
The Kimley-Horn Team has worked on projects within the State Brownfields Program under 62-785 FAC
throughout Florida. Our project experience working on hundreds of contaminated sites has also fallen under
various other FDEP and EPA regulatory guidelines and grants, which required integration of our environmental,
planning, civil design, and construction services. As a result, we can offer our experience and knowledge of how
to successfully address contamination during redevelopment while meeting local, state, and federal mandates.
Specific to this program, the following list demonstrates our team’s experience with brownfield projects in Florida.
We have also included comments on how we provided new or innovative approaches on each site as requested in
your RFQ.

In-House Staff
David Goldman, P.G., will serve as project manager and technical lead for this project. David has managed
numerous similar brownfields programs with outstanding success. His achievements are characterized by the tight
management of all aspects of the project with full coordination and communication of all issues. David has more
than 20 years of experience conducting and managing assessment and remediation projects involving hazardous
waste, industrial waste, and petroleum contamination. He has extensive experience and success with the
integration of site assessment and remediation with land planning, civil design, permitting, and construction. He
has personally brought a total of 12 Florida brownfields projects to full construction and redevelopment completion
under state and federal programs. His professional and personal dedication extends to his participation in the
Florida Brownfields Association’s Legislative and Technical Committees. David was also a member of the ASTM
subcommittee that worked on the Phase I and Phase II standards.
Kelly Bishop, P.G., has extensive experience conducting Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments
in adherence to applicable ASTM standards. Kelly has more than 20 years of experience identifying recognized
environmental conditions (RECs). When conducting property assessments, she also recognizes the impacts they
present. Kelly has worked on many projects that require the management of environmental impacts during site
development as well as long-term property management. Her clients have ranged from county and state agencies
4–1

extensively breached when originally purchased by client. KHA developed a plan to address environmental concerns
such as groundwater and soil impacts, along with wetland encroachment, while still devising a plan for useful land
development. We reduced the potential for environmental impacts by preparing a plan to develop the property with
minimal impact to existing subsurface waste, thereby creating a “win-win” situation for both FDEP and the client. We
developed contamination assessment plans (CAPs) and implemented assessment activities for the former landfill.
We also completed contamination assessment reports (CARs); negotiated with FDEP on assessment and monitoring
activities; prepared the solid waste permit, environmental resource permit (ERP), and stormwater application for
review by FDEP. The project has been completed and is currently being considered for redevelopment as a big-box
retail center. This is the first project of its kind in the FDEP Northeast District.
Walmart on Phillips Highway (Clinton) Brownfield Site, Jacksonville, FL — Project manager for the redevelopment of a
30-acre, brownfield site in Jacksonville. Approximately 60,000 yards of waste and contaminated soil were located on
the property. Groundwater impacts were identified as related to waste on the site and impacts were also identified in
association with nine underground storage tanks (USTs). Kimley-Horn developed a combined document that provided
a complete assessment and remediation plan for the site. The document was approved by FDEP with no comments.
The remediation plan consisted of excavation of C&D waste and screening of the waste. The residual screened
material (RSM) was to be kept on-site and used as fill and the waste to be disposed in a C&D landfill. Engineering
and institutional controls were used to address contaminants in the RSM. Kimley-Horn prepared a waste excavation
and disposal plan for site activities and a dewatering plan to be implemented during construction. In addition, we
completed a MODFLOW/MT3D model to simulate the effects of the proposed stormwater ponds on the site relative to
the known groundwater contaminant plumes. The project is considered a major success by FDEP Northeast District
and is used as an example of how to deal with waste on a non-permitted site during construction.
BrandsMart, Brownfield Site, West Palm Beach, FL — Project manager for assessment and remediation of former golf
course contaminated with arsenic; the site was under investigation for listing on NPL. Arsenic impacts were identified
during construction of a large retail center on the property. Kimley-Horn worked with the FDEP Southeast District
and SFWMD to develop a site assessment and remediation approach that has been conducted concurrently with
site construction activities. We designed an approach to minimize interference with building of the retail center while
providing protection to human health and the environment. We also prepared groundwater flow and contaminant
transport models using MODFLOW to examine long-term effects of the proposed stormwater control system;
prepared a comprehensive long-term Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) plan to observe the attenuation of
arsenic over time; and submitted the site under the State of Florida Brownfield Program to remove it from NPL listing.
Subsequently, this site was approved as part of a brownfield area and a BSRA was completed. Site construction was
completed in 2001.
Midtown Miami, Brownfield Site Miami, FL — Served as project manager for assessment and remediation of this
56-acre brownfield, which has now become the largest redevelopment project in the City of Miami. The site was
a 100-yearl-old FEC rail yard with contaminants ranging for petroleum hydrocarbons, to metals. The remediation
activities were integrated into the site overall development plan to reduce cleanup costs by millions of dollars while
allowing for the full development of the property. The Site received an SRCO in 2006.
Daytona Beach Brownfield Consultant, Daytona Beach, FL — Project manager for the Kimley-Horn team that is
assisting the City of Daytona Beach in the establishment of its Brownfield Program and remediation of specific
brownfield properties. Kimley-Horn’s goals are to partner with the City to establish the program and provide/
implement a plan of action for the redevelopment and sale of the City’s contaminated properties.

Superfund site that was under use as a paint manufacturing company. Kimley-Horn provided planning, site civil
engineering, and environmental services on this project. The site received an SCRO in 2009.
LCP Chemicals Superfund Site, Brunswick, GA — Prepared a waste characterization plan at the LCP Chemicals
Superfund site under emergency response action from U.S. EPA Region 4. The characterization consisted of
collection and analysis of more than 80 soil and water samples, and the majority of the work was conducted in Level
B personnel protection. Contaminants of concern were mercury, PCBs, and petroleum hydrocarbons. Coordinated
all site activities with EPA Region 4 OSCs and TATs, ensuring that all work was conducted under Region 4 SOP and
satisfied all QA/QC protocols for level CLP data. The final report included an extensive background search on past
operations and previous owners of the site.
Florida Keys Electrical Cooperative Pole Yard, Marathon, FL — Member of the Kimley-Horn team that conducted an
assessment of the site, including an evaluation of background concentrations of arsenic, off-site levels of arsenic
in soil, and an analysis of tidal effects on the groundwater contaminant plume. The site assessment report (SAR)
for this site was approved without comments and a remedial action plan (RAP) was put in place. As a part of the
RAP, Kimley-Horn successfully convinced FDEP that soil could be managed on-site and that, through the use of
engineering and institutional controls, both soil and groundwater arsenic impacts could be addressed.

Holiday-Grand Site, Holiday, FL — Serving as project manager for large-scale contamination assessment activities
(DPT, monitor well installation, soil/groundwater sampling and analysis) to investigate and delineate contaminant
constituents and the presence of lead, arsenic, chromium, and copper within the soil and groundwater to evaluate
potential impacts from site activities. Investigative results identified the presence of several soil and groundwater
constituents in concentrations exceeding GCTLs and SCTLs, as defined in Chapter 62-777, FAC. Data collected was
used to determine extent of contamination, remedial approach, and an opinion of cost for cleanup.
Confidential Client, Dunedin, FL — Served as project manager for an investigation to delineate and remediate arsenic
determined to be at levels above CTLs within the soil and groundwater at a former produce processing plant located
within one-quarter mile of the Gulf Coast. Assessment activities included historical review of operational practices,
DPT, monitor well installation, soil and groundwater sampling and analysis, and regulatory negotiations. US EPA
software (PRO UCL) was used to calculate UCL95s to determine the potential beneficial impacts prior to the
implementation of a remedial action. Following completion of assessment activities, soil and groundwater remediation
efforts will be implemented in possible conjunction with FDEP negotiated restrictive covenants.
Environmental Resource Permitting and Uniform Mitigation Assessment (UMA), MacDill AFB, Tampa, FL — Served as

network into the perched aquifer (~270 ft. bls) and the Ogallala Aquifer (390-480 ft. bls); also groundwater data
reduction, interpretation, and modeling.
Contemporary Cleaners, Orlando, FL — Served as project manager. Following site assessment efforts, enhanced
reductive dechlorination was accomplished by two hydrogen releasing compoundTM (HRC) applications made at a
dry cleaning site in Florida impacted by a release of PCE. The first application principally targeted the shallow surficial
aquifer (6-30’ bls) with 144 direct injection points and approximately 6,810 lbs. of HRC. The second application
4–11
Kelly Bishop, P.G.
occurred 18 months later and targeted the lower surficial aquifer (30-50’ bls) with 128 delivery points and 2,550
pounds of HRC. As a consequence of the first application, PCE and TCE were quickly dechlorinated to cis-1,2DCE and to some vinyl chloride (VC) in the shallow surficial aquifer indicating the occurrence of HRC mediated
dechlorination. The limited amount of HRC applied to the lower surficial aquifer during the first application presumably
did not enhance appreciable dechlorination in the aquifer. The second HRC delivery was focused on the lower
surficial aquifer; however, the anticipated dechlorination did not occur. In fact, the cis-1,2-DCE (DCE) concentration
increased in the lower surficial aquifer. Investigations were undertaken to determine the cause of the undesirable
accumulation of DCE.
Fairbanks Disposal Pit, Fairbanks, FL — Participated on an RCRA/CERCLA site that was an abandoned sand and
clay borrow pit from which several drums were excavated, but contaminated soil and additional drums remained.
Soil contamination was isolated to the site, but the contaminated groundwater plume extended over two miles and
migrated vertically to affect four separate aquifers. The plume contaminated over 300 private supply wells, more
than 100 of which had detectable concentrations of chlorinated solvents. In addition, the plume migrated to within
one-quarter mile of Gainesville Regional Utilities’ wellfield, sole water supply for the city. Participated on the efforts
to remediate and attain clean closure of this 10-acre site, which was heavily contaminated with chlorinated solvents.
Remediation activities included excavation of 111,600 cubic yards of contaminated soil, installation of a RCRA cap
over the entire site, installation of a lined stormwater retention pond, abandonment of more than 300 residential
replacement wells, installation of more than 100 residential replacement wells, installation of recovery and injection
wells, installation of eight treatment buildings with packed tower air strippers, installation of an advanced telemetry
system to monitor the treatment buildings, design and construction of treatment systems for all aquifers, and
operation and maintenance of all groundwater treatment systems.

roadway was designed with an underground baffle box to provide all treatment volume since the groundwater table
required a submerged collection system, and pond sites were not available along this corridor, which was maintained
by Brevard County. In addition to the upgrade to Windover Trail, various left and right turn lane improvements were
necessary at the nearby intersections of SR50/SR 405 and SR 405/Windover Trail, which are maintained by the
FDOT. The design included signal modifications at both intersections. Driveway connection permits were required
for the FDOT for the roadway, as well as utility permits for the traffic signal modifications. The design also included
landscaping and irrigation design.
Woodland Crossings Retail Center, DeLand, FL — Project manager for civil engineering and permitting on this 8.95acre commercial site along US Highway 17 in DeLand. This project included a large-scale comprehensive plan
amendment in which the City created a new future land use category of business retail. An application for rezoning
to planned development was approved in addition to the site plan and subdivision applications, which allowed
development of the project in four separate lots. The anchor development included a 14,000-square-foot retail center
with a separate 17,600 square-foot facility for office/retail use by the owner’s real estate investment trust (REIT). Two
other commercial outparcels were also provided along the property frontage. Kimley-Horn worked with City staff
to develop a maintenance agreement between the City and the applicant, whereby a public street currently being
maintained by Volusia County would be shut down. The primary function of this street termination was to eliminate the
possibility of unwanted traffic traveling through the residential neighborhoods, as requested by surrounding residents.
However, the final solution also allowed a portion of the public street to remain in function as a driveway serving the
project.
Coquina Cove, Phases 2, 3, and 4, Port Orange, FL — Project manager for this mixed-density residential development
on 169 acres of agricultural ranchlands between Tomoka Farms Road (CR 415) and Williamson Boulevard (CR 4009).
This project required predevelopment floodplain analysis to determine existing 100-year flood stages and floodplain
storage volumes and prepared calculations of compensatory volume provided in post-development conditions.
Other tasks included design of off-site roadway improvements, preparation of quantity takeoffs and cost estimates,
and permitting with agency response through the City of Port Orange, Volusia County, and St. Johns River Water
Management District.

Convention Community District Mass Grading, Orange County, FL — Project manager and engineer of record on this
mass grading project for a 200-plus-acre, mixed-use development adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center.
This project is being joint-ventured between the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and a private
developer based on a market analysis that determined it was essential to infill the areas surrounding the Convention
Center and create a high density, mixed-use urban setting that will ensure its vitality and continued attractiveness to
conventioneers. The project entails filling four existing stormwater management lakes in excess of 25 acres, design
of 3,050 linear feet of 6-foot by 6-foot box culvert, hydraulic design analysis for a 60-foot Conspan culvert under the
future Kirkman Road extension, mass grading of the entire project area, and permitting through SFWMD and Orange
County.

Malibu Bay — West Palm Beach, Florida
BF Number: BF500101002
Completed 2005
David Goldman, P.G., was the project manager for the Malibu Bay Apartments, a 264-unit
low-to moderate-income apartment complex located on a 13-acre portion of the former
Palm Beach Lakes Golf Course. The golf course was designated a brownfield by the State
of Florida because the groundwater had become contaminated with arsenic after years of
pesticide treatments. Using incentives offered through Florida’s Brownfield Redevelopment
Program, including an $800,000 revolving loan fund set up by the South Florida Regional
Planning Council through EPA Region 4, the land was recycled into a valuable community
asset and put to productive economic use that provided much-needed affordable housing.
This site is a great
example of the
use of grant and
loan funding for
affordable housing.
Kimley-Horn completed the site
assessment and remediation design for
engineering and institutional controls to
address soil, groundwater, and sediment
arsenic impacts. The reports were
approved by FDEP without comment. This
was the first residential site in the State of
Florida for which such engineering controls
were approved. Kimley-Horn also provided
the site civil engineering, surveying,
construction administration, and civil
permitting services required to redevelop
the site as a multifamily development.
Completed in January 2005, Malibu Bay
features 12 residential buildings, a tropical
clubhouse, lakefront views, gated entry,
pool, playground, fitness center, and
children’s activity center.

Midtown Miami — Miami, Florida
Completed 2008
This project is an
example of the turnkey
type of brownfield
redevelopment services
Kimley-Horn offers.
Located in the heart of Miami, this 56-acre brownfield is the largest
redevelopment project in the City of Miami. Kimley-Horn worked with the
architectural design team to develop a truly urban mixed-use master plan to
support 1.2 million square feet of commercial development, 4,500 residential units, offi
ffices, andd parks
k on this
hi
contaminated rail yard. The design includes nearly 12,000 linear feet of urban streetscapes, a linear park system,
an urban plaza, and a series of vest pocket parks. Kimley-Horn authored streetscape design guidelines for the
project and prepared a Regional Activity Center (RAC) justification report to increase DRI thresholds. The project
received more than $10 million in grant funding for the redevelopment.
Kimley-Horn also provided brownfield
assessment and remediating design
services for this site. David Goldman was
the project manager for the very important
environmental remediation aspects of this
project. Remediation consisted of source
removal in addition to engineering and
institutional controls. Kimley-Horn was able to
integrate the necessary site remediation with
the actual redevelopment, saving the client
millions of dollars in soil disposal costs. A Site
Rehabilitation Completion Order (SRCO) was
obtained from the FDEP for the site in 2006.
In addition, Kimley-Horn designed all public
infrastructure, including roadways and utilities, and has provided traffic, landscape architecture, and urban
planning services for Midtown Miami. This project is an example of the turnkey type of brownfield redevelopment
services Kimley-Horn offers, and we are very proud of the fact that Midtown Miami is the recipient of the EPA
Region 4 2009 Phoenix Award, the nation’s most prestigious award for brownfield redevelopment.

Philips Highway Brownfields — Jacksonville, Florida
Completed 2009
The Philips Highway Brownfields site is located in South Jacksonville, one of the
fastest growing areas of the city. This site consists of 40 acres and was operated
as a landfill from 1955 to 1972. The site was closed in 1976 and remained unused
until it was purchased in 1996. David Goldman, P.G., was the project manager for
the assessment, remediation design, permitting, and engineering design for the site.
The contaminants on the site consisted of volatile compounds, phenols, and metals.
Kimley-Horn conducted the site assessment, remediation design, civil engineering
and planning, and permitting for this project.
This was the
first site in the
State of Florida
where a solid
waste permit
and a BSRA were
implemented
concurrently.
After more than 30 years of differential settling on top of the landfill, more than 50% of the site was found
to contain wetlands. Kimley-Horn demonstrated to both FDEP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that
redevelopment and maintenance of the landfill cap would benefit the environment and that mitigation for removal
of the secondary wetlands was not required. This allowed for the redevelopment of the entire site.
The redevelopment was conducted under a combined
solid waste permit and a Brownfield Site Rehabilitation
Agreement (BSRA). This was the first site in the State
of Florida where a solid waste permit and a BSRA were
implemented concurrently. Kimley-Horn redesigned the
landfill cap to support the development of a commercial
complex at a later date. We also designed the use of lined
stormwater ponds on top of waste, and these were the first
such stormwater ponds permitted in the State of Florida.
The project was completed in May 2008 and is currently
being considered for redevelopment by a “big-box” retailer.
The current plans for redevelopment call for post-tensioned
slabs and a methane mitigation and monitoring system.
This is the first project of its kind in Northeast Florida.

Walmart Auburndale, Auburndale Florida
Completed 2004
David Goldman, P.G., was the project manager for the assessment and remediation planning
involved with the redevelopment of this former mine. The mine was originally operated in the
1960s but was subsequently filled with waste. The contaminants of concern at the site were
primarily arsenic but also included a combination of contaminants from mining activities and
solid waste. Kimley-Horn integrated the assessment and remediation of the site with the overall
development as a “big box” retail center with a large stormwater pond. This included a plan
for screening solid waste and off-site disposal of screened material. Other services included
groundwater modeling to determine the effects of a stormwater pond upon known groundwater
contamination, and site civil design permitting, surveying, and landscape architecture. This was
also one of the first completed brownfield sites in the State of Florida.
This project
is a great
example
of reuse of
a former
industrial site

BrandsMart USA Brownfield Project, West Palm Beach, Florida
Completed 2001
Ongoing Groundwater Monitoring
Kimley-Horn provided site civil design, permitting, landscape
architecture, site assessment and remediation design and planning
for this 18-acre commercial development. Arsenic contamination was
determined to be present during site construction. Because the site is
adjacent to the drinking water source for the City of West Palm Beach,
it was under consideration for placement on the National Priorities List
(NPL) or Superfund.
This site is an
excellent example
of how Kimley-Horn
worked quickly and
effectively to address
site contamination
and integrate
remediation planning
with site civil design
and construction.
The owner engaged Kimley-Horn to expedite site assessment and
integrate any remediation with the construction. We used a combination
of source removal and engineering and institutional controls to address
the contamination on the site. We designed an approach that minimized interference with the construction of the
retail center while providing protection to human health and the environment. We also prepared groundwater flow
and contaminant transport models using MODFLOW to examine long-term effects of the proposed stormwater
control system. In addition, we prepared a comprehensive, long-term Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) plan to
observe the attenuation of arsenic over time.
Based on our modeling results, we redesigned the ponds
to be lined and worked with the South Florida Water
Management District to expedite the permits for that
modification. Our expedited site assessment and remediation
along with our integration with site civil design and permitting
enabled us to still meet the original build-out date and receive
a Certificate of Occupancy for the property. The site is
currently under a groundwater monitoring plan.

7. Technical Methodology, Implementation Plans,
and Schedule
Background – What are the possible Brownfield Sites in the City?
In order to define a technical approach for this project, we reviewed available state and federal records. The review
indicated a variety of potential properties that could be defined as brownfield sites. We understand the City’s grant
application identified eight potential brownfield sites and, at this point, these sites are the focus of the grant. The
sites identified in the application and their associated FDEP or EPA file numbers are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
New Smyrna Beach Airport
Babcock Building
Dunn Property
FEC Property
5.
6.
7.
8.
Foley’s Dry Cleaning
Administration Building
North Causeway Boat Ramp
City Marina
(FDEP file number FLR10P602)
(FDEP file numbers 282212, 586-1, and 586-2)
(FDEP file number 270986)
(EPA file number FLTMP920374)
(FDEP number FLD9842519)
(FDEP file number FLD984240440)
(no FDEP file number)
(FDEP file number FLR000124081)
(no FDEP or EPA file number)
Based on our review of available records and local knowledge of the area, Kimley-Horn identified the following
additional potential brownfield sites within the City:
1. New Smyrna Beach Power Plant
2. Taylor Shell
From our review, we also believe the potential exists for other brownfield properties to be present. Within federal
records, a total of 175 sites in the City were identified and listed as being regulated for stormwater, the storage and
handling of hazardous materials or hazardous wastes, or a documented release. Of these 175 sites, approximately
30 were identified as active or former gasoline stations. The active and former gasoline stations and many of the
other 175 listed regulated sites have the potential to represent brownfield sites as defined by state statute.
Developing an understanding of potential brownfield sites requires not only a review of state and federal
database information, but also public knowledge and input. This process includes an initial inventory of potential
contaminated properties as well as input by interested stakeholders, the grant program manager, and other
informed City staff. The following describes our unique technical approach to this process and how it is linked,
beginning with the potential Phase I and II assessments and continuing through programmatic support to site
redevelopment. Throughout this approach, we identify ways in which we reduce overall projects costs and
time spent, while helping the CRA Program Manager efficiently execute the grant to be compliant with EPA
requirements.

What is the Kimley-Horn Technical Approach?
The RFQ describes four components that comprise the Scope of Service. These are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs)
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
Community Participation/Stakeholder Involvement
A. Inventory of Contaminated Sites and Phase I ESAs
This step will begin with an inventory of environmental database information for the City. KHA will obtain state,
federal, and local records for the entire City. Because this information will be needed at a later date for the
Phase I ESA component, it is more cost effective to obtain it on a one-time basis with the opportunity to update the
information if required. Kimley-Horn will input the information into a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based
format. This will facilitate quick evaluation of the data and storage of pertinent materials. We will train City staff to
use the GIS system, and we will use it for the remainder of the contract to keep the City, CRA, and public informed
of our progress. We conducted a similar project for the City of Homestead CRA for their use with developers
interested in properties within their area. With this GIS database system and management approach, the City and
CRA staff are maintaining the information independently, without external support. As a result, they have reduced
overall costs and are able to insert local, knowledgeable staff into the process to stimulate economic growth.
Once the original database is set up, we will meet with the City and CRA and obtain public input on the ranking of
potential sites. Aspects that need to be reviewed during the ranking process may consist of a variety of social and
economic factors that we can input into the GIS system for consideration.
We understand the City is interested in using the grant funds in the most cost-effective manner possible to provide
real benefits to the community. It is our opinion that the most successful way to do this is to focus the funding on
key projects rather than just a number of Phase I and Phase II reports. The key is to spark development interest
and support that redevelopment in areas where there are interested stakeholders. It is not the number of Phase
I and II reports that have been completed that makes the assessment program successful. It is the number
of redevelopment sites that have a positive impact on the community that is the benchmark by which
these programs are ultimately judged.
The key projects are somewhat dependent on the inventory and original eight sites within the grant application.
However, these key projects may change based on the goals of the City and CRA, as well as the results of public
input and participation. For this reason, it is imperative that the CRA have sufficient information in order to make
educated decisions as to which sites may require Phase I and Phase II assessments. Kimley-Horn anticipates that
the result of the inventory will establish four to eight sites on which the City will focus its assessment dollars. We
anticipate that we can complete the inventory and report to the CRA within 30 days. It may then take an additional
30 days to get public input and have the City provide recommendations for the Phase I ESA reports.
7–2
Upon approval by the CRA, the Phase I ESAs will be conducted in accordance with All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI)
and ASTM Standard E 1527-05. The EPA now recognizes both ASTM International’s E 1527-05 “Standard Practice
for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process” and ASTM E2247-08
“Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for
Forestland and Rural Property” as compliant with the AAI Regulation. Kimley-Horn was on the ASTM committee
that developed 1527-05 and has applied this standard on sites throughout the State of Florida. The purpose of the
Phase I ESA as indicated by AAI is to provide the following:
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Review of available environmental-related records though database searches, file review, building
department records, property records, and historical aerial photographs and other resources.
Interviews with persons knowledgeable of the site(s) such as past owners and operators of facilities, local
individuals within the community, and City staff /employees.
Reconnaissance of site conditions by a qualified Environmental Professional (EP) to identify potential
recognized environmental conditions that may impact the liability or future use of the site.
An identification of Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) as defined in ASTM E 1527-05, 1.1.1.
An opinion of the impacts on the property resulting from conditions identified during the investigation, by a
qualified EP (ASTM E 1527-05, 12.6).
An opinion, by a qualified EP, on the need for additional investigations (ASTM E 1527-05, 12.6.1).
A statement consistent with ASTM E 1527-05, 12.13, on the qualifications of the EP and the suitability of
the Phase I ESA to meet the requirements of AAI, CFR 40 312.
Based on the sites identified, Kimley-Horn presumes we will conduct a minimum of ten Phase I ESAs. We
recommend that this be conducted in two phases. The first phase will consist of completion of Phase I ESA reports
for the top four sites that were identified within the inventory ranking and approved by the CRA. The second set
of Phase I assessments will be conducted on six or more sites after the first four sites have been evaluated to
the extent necessary for the City to determine the need for additional Phase I ESA reports. The Phase I ESA
reports can be completed within a 30 day period. Upon completion, we will submit documentation to the CRA and
determine if a Phase II ESA is required. If required, we will prepare the QAPP and other associated documents
that the EPA requires as part of the Phase II ESA (See 2.2 and 2.3).
In order to be compliant with EPA regulations, the ASTM standard must be followed at all times. Because of this
requirement, costs can only be reduced by purchasing database data and aerial photos for the entire City on a
one-time basis, combining site reconnaissance and file review tasks for multiple sites and using a person
knowledgeable of the City, local history, and conditions. As indicated previously, we will obtain database information
on a one-time basis for the entire City. We will also obtain the historical aerial photographs and topographic maps
required for review on a one-time basis. This information will be entered into the GIS management system and
will significantly reduce costs. To support local economic growth and to provide additional personnel who are
knowledgeable about the local area, we will team with G&S Good Environmental Inc. (G&S), located in the New
Smyrna Beach area. G&S will assist with site reconnaissance and file review. Bill Good, the president of G&S, is
a registered professional geologist who has completed more than 20 environmental projects within the City of New
Smyrna Beach. He is very familiar with the history of the City and local site conditions. Partnering with G&S will
result in reduced costs to the City’s program and enhanced access to a responsive team.
7–3
KHA has developed an approach to the completion of Phase I ESA reports that is compliant with the AAI and
ASTM Standard but also includes an evaluation of the civil design, permitting, and construction components.
These components are directly impacted by contamination and have the greatest cost and schedule impact on
the final project. Because brownfield redevelopment projects are ultimately judged by their contribution to the
community and actual construction of a usable space or structure, it is imperative that the initial stages of the
assessment include an evaluation of these design, permitting, and construction components. This is accomplished
by conducting all assessment services within the context of actual reuse. At Kimley-Horn, every step we take,
from the Phase I through remediation planning, is directed toward reuse of the site. Using this philosophy,
we prepared the protocols used by an international retailer. These protocols take into account the reuse
components and are used by the client across the United States on more than 400 sites per year.
B. Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs)
Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs) are an important part of the process that is associated with Phase II
sampling. The EPA must be certain that the information provided as a part of the grant is reliable and defensible. To
achieve these goals, a QAPP is prepared in accordance with the EPA Quality Assurance Guidelines of Conducting
Brownfield Site Assessments.
KHA will develop each QAPP with the following components:
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Introduction
Assessment Overview
Data Quality Objectives (DQOs)
Quality Assurance Programs
Sampling Design Strategies
Sample and Data Management
Kimley-Horn’s QAPPs are streamlined to encourage quick preparation and expedited EPA review. By using a
standard template, we reduce preparation costs and time. We can produce the QAPP in two weeks; it typically
takes the EPA four to eight weeks for review and approval. For the purpose of this submittal, KHA will assume
that initially, four Phase II ESA reports will be required, and that during a second phase, a total of three sites
will require Phase II ESAs. Each Phase II will require a QAPP and a Health and Safety Plan (HASP). However,
to assist in reducing costs and expediting the schedule, an area-wide QAPP and HASP may be appropriate if
proximity of project locations and site conditions allow.
C. Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
Kimley-Horn will complete all Phase II ESA activities consistent with ASTM E 1903-07. We use this standard
to implement all of our Phase II ESAs in the state of Florida. Our project team has extensive experience in the
development of assessment planning, which has included the development of national standards implemented by
our clients.
7–4
For this project, Kimley-Horn will also follow FDEP Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), as well as EPA
Region 4 SOPs regarding the operation and implementation of soil, sediment, air, groundwater, and surface water
sampling plans. The Phase II sampling will be conducted based on the results of previous Phase I ESA reports or
existing documentation.
When planning a Phase II ESA, our technical staff develops a scientific approach most applicable to the site
conditions, the contaminants of concern, the intended use, and perceived exposure pathways. This approach has
been termed the Triad Approach by the EPA and consists of the identification of data quality objectives based on
the actual end-use of the property and intended use of the data. Kimley-Horn will use investigative methods that
often decrease the cost and time of assessments. These methods include the following:
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Identify source areas by conducting geophysical surveys.
Employing direct push technologies (DPTs) that reduce the amount of intrusive sampling and field
analysis required.
Use of field screening devices such as organic vapor analyzers, portable gas chromatographs, a portable
x-ray fluorescence (XRF) unit, and a membrane interface probe and test kits to decrease expensive
laboratory analytical costs, and implement a milk-run approach to minimize mobilization. Implementation
of field screening and test kits allows for expedited project decisions to be made on a real-time basis while
in the field. This approach not only cuts costs by reduction in mobilization and laboratory services, but
reduces the amount of time in the field required to complete assessment activities.
Collection of optional site data relative to the technical evaluation of groundwater and soil characteristics,
chemistry, and biological activity that verifies that contaminants have the capacity to degrade under sitespecific conditions may be appropriate during a Phase II assessment. This is based on project ranking,
contaminants of concern, and the schedule for redevelopment. Site-specific conditions and geochemical
parameters collected during a Phase II will allow for the Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives
(ABCA) to narrow the options relative to the site. This reduces the costs related to remobilization,
expenses, and labor associated with additional assessment to acquire this data later. It also helps direct
remediation system selection and redevelopment options as they relate to the design and construction of
a site.
Use of geostatistical tools to reduce the number of samples required.
All of these tools can be used to effectively obtain environmental quality information while keeping overall
assessment cost at a minimum. In order to reduce sampling costs, we will conduct the Phase II sampling activities
under one mobilization. Our primary goal for the Phase II ESA task is to obtain sufficient information to
assist the City in preparing bids for redevelopment of the first four potential brownfield sites. That is why
all of our tasks are completed in the context of redevelopment/reuse and why we focus on the end product
by obtaining an understanding of potential liability, costs, and schedule impacts.
7–5
For the purpose of this submittal we have assumed Phase I and II ESAs will be conducted on the following four
sites as a first step:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Babcock Building
Dunn Property
Foley’s Dry Cleaning
New Smyrna Beach Power Plant
The first three sites are part of a cluster centered on the intersection of Canal Street and Dixie Freeway. The
Babcock building and Dunn property have undergone extensive site assessment, but very little information is
available for the Foley’s Dry Cleaning site.
Kimley-Horn’s vision for this area includes a public facility in the area of the Babcock building tied in with the Dunn
property. This could be a performing arts center and associated retail and restaurants as illustrated in Figure 1,
which follows on page 7-7. In order to evaluate the properties for this type of development, we will use existing
groundwater monitoring wells and supplement the information with one Phase II ESA that covers all three sites.
The sampling plan will be integrated with potential development and construction options to obtain information that
is critical to redevelopment. Specifically, we will not only evaluate soil and groundwater quality, we will do so in the
context of redevelopment. We will look at quality of soil that may be disturbed during grading or utility construction,
examine groundwater quality to identify the optimum location of stormwater control features, and evaluate human
exposure pathways during construction and operation. The Phase II ESA report will, therefore, include an evaluation
of the following design, permitting, and construction challenges:
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Remediation options, timing, schedule and costs
Stormwater control permitting and design
Grading and grubbing
Infrastructure upgrades
Public exposure, both during and after construction
Construction dewatering, permitting, and management
By conducting the single Phase II ESA for the entire area, we will reduce project costs and time. By considering
the Phase II in context with reuse and redevelopment, we will also collect information that is critical to the
preparation of an opinion of costs for the redevelopment. This is an excellent example of a situation in which one
QAPP and HASP may be appropriate.
The New Smyrna Beach Power Plant is located south of the Bert Fish Medical Center. Due to the incentives in the
Brownfield Program, the power plant site represents and excellent possibility for the development of an associated
medical facility. Under the current incentives, there is a health care bonus of an additional 25% in tax credits (up
to $500,000) for cleanup of a site that will be developed into a medical use. Our concept for this site is shown in
Figure 2, which can be found on page 7-8. Kimley-Horn will evaluate this property as part of a Phase II ESA in a
manner similar to the previously described approach. However, due to the fact that very little soil and groundwater
data are available for the site, a more in-depth site assessment may be required. In order to reduce the costs
7–6
7–7
7–8
of the Phase II assessment of this site, we will focus much of the work on field screening instruments using the
Triad approach. The Phase II ESA conducted on this property may include evaluation of existing sources of
contamination relative to potential development options and an evaluation of the costs for demolition and clearing
of the property.
The Phase II ESAs for all four sites will be completed within a 60-day time period.
KHA will also provide the reports that may be required by the EPA as a part of the grant. These include the
following:
Q
Q
Q
Property profile forms (ACRES) in accordance with OMB N0 2050-0192
Endangered Species Act and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) documentation
MBE reporting
Upon the conclusion of the Phase II task for the four sites, we will help the City prepare documentation for the
purpose of bidding out the redevelopment of those properties. This is part of remediation planning and public
outreach and may include opinions of probable cost, schedule, and remediation options of each property. Because
of our strong relationships with local, state, and national developers, we are able to offer the City a means of
marketing your brownfield sites to a variety of developers. We know what the developers look for when evaluating
these types of projects and know how to obtain and provide this information to them. From specific brownfield
development companies, to retail and affordable housing, we have the contacts to provide the successful
redevelopment of these sites.
D. Community Participation/Stakeholder Involvement
Community participation and stakeholder involvement will be conducted as required by the City and CRA. This will
include EPA’s seven steps for effective public involvement:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Planning and budgeting for public involvement.
Identify the communities and stakeholders that are critical to the success of the project.
Evaluate the need for technical assistance form FDEP or EPA for useful public involvement.
Provide the information and outreach to the public through newsletters and websites.
Conduct workshops and other meetings.
Provide pathways for community input to the program for review and use in addition to providing feedback
to the community
7. Evaluate the public involvement process and determine if it is being effective, and have the ability to
modify the approach.
Kimley-Horn has conducted community outreach programs throughout the State of Florida. These community
outreach programs have dealt with Brownfield redevelopment and other land development projects. We will
implement our community outreach at the initial stages of the program. Through our local knowledge and expertise
we will work with the CRA to identify local community organizations and stakeholders that will be involved with
7–9
our process. We can support the City in any manner from the production of newsletters and reports to graphics
for meetings. Our purpose with this task is to gain the public “buy-in” to the process and maximize the grant funds
relative to the public and the CRA. In order to provide this service, we have selected Mike Hale, P.E., one of
our staff members who resides in New Smyrna Beach, as Kimley-Horn’s main contact. Mike was raised in New
Smyrna Beach and is a very knowledgeable resource for both stakeholders and City staff. Use of a person who
lives in the City will reduce costs and the time required to understand the stakeholders and their needs.
Our public outreach will also take into account the plans for the CRA as defined in the Master Plan Update that is
currently being prepared by Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin, Inc. Once this document is prepared, we recommend
integrating the Brownfield Program public outreach with the public involvement for the master plan. This will
provide further cost reduction and create the “buy-in” for the Brownfield Program.
E. Implementation Plan
Based on the information provided above, we have the following implementation plan. This is, of course, subject to
change based on CRA approval and the initial inventory and public outreach sessions.
1. Inventory of sites.

Legal Actions Within the Past Five Years
Below is a summary of litigation filed against Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the past five years related to the
services that Kimley-Horn provides in the regular course of business.
Kimley-Horn has 56 offices across the United States and more than 1,600 employees. Kimley- Horn completes
several thousand projects every year. Thus, exposure to litigation is large; however, our actual record of litigation is
light. There are only ten pending lawsuits nationwide. In our opinion, these lawsuits are without merit, and we are
aggressively defending them.
The following information is considered confidential and is not to be disclosed to any other party without KimleyHorn’s written permission. We can provide further information to authorized officials only on a “need to know”
basis. Suits filed against Kimley-Horn (and multi-parties) and their disposition are as follows:
