Project Description (Be sure to include cost information, photos, and a detailed description of the work performed by the Vendor applicant): A recent and particularly pertinent example of landscape performance thinking and innovation in action is the UW-Madison Campus Master Plan Update. As an integrated part of the plan, SmithGroupJJR merged a more traditional campus landscape planning process with a performance-based green infrastructure approach. Recognizing that the future health of the campus and its lake and watershed are interdependent, this award-winning and precedent-setting plan achieves significant, measurable improvements in stormwater management and water quality within a restored and more connected network of historic and culturally rich landscapes.

ATTACHMENT A 5

The plan’s use of parametric modeling to evaluate landscape performance puts the University well out in front of the upcoming Wisconsin DNR and U.S. EPA regulations, which will require the University to significantly reduce Total Suspended Solids and Total Phosphorous runoff. The team also analyzed and quantified the benefits of existing campus green infrastructure to establish an effective baseline for master plan recommendations. The integration of public landscapes and performance landscapes establishes a comprehensive framework for preserving and enhancing the great outdoor spaces of the University, reflecting the highest aspirations for campus aesthetics, ecology and landscape performance over the next 20 years. Proposed green infrastructure improvements were integrated with the preservation and restoration of culturally and historically significant landscapes, providing a comprehensive guide for campus landscape.

Was the project completed on time? ☒Yes ☐No; Explanation:


Was the project completed to the owner’s satisfaction? ☒Yes ☐No; Explanation: Project Description (Be sure to include cost information, photos, and a detailed description of the work performed by the Vendor applicant): The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) hired SmithGroupJJR to develop plans for a new, 400-slip recreational marina within the Caesar Creek State Park. Caesar Creek Lake is a federally managed flood control reservoir that experiences changing water levels that fluctuate up to 35 feet.

ATTACHMENT A 7

In addition to the marina, SmithGroupJJR worked with ODNR to implement upland improvements to the park that help enhance the natural environmental features of the park. This included creating a visitors entrance to the marina at The Waterfront Plaza, which provides a drop-off area and adjacent parking. Informational kiosks and signage direct visitors to the trail network, children’s play area, youth fishing pond, or toward the marina.

A network of trails and paths connect the park to other regional amenities and park areas, including the nearby beach. Nearly 2000 linear feet of the lake shoreline has been enhanced with a variety of treatments, including strategically placed stacked stone edging to allow visitors easy access to the water’s edge for recreation and fishing. Because fishing is a popular draw for boaters and park users, SmithGroupJJR designed spawning beds for key sport fish species, including crappie, largemouth bass and sunfish - all of which reproduce naturally in the lake.

ATTACHMENT A 8

The design also incorporates a Stormwater Management Strategy for the park that directs overland rain runoff into a series of interconnected stormwater infiltration zones that will infiltrate and clean water before it enters the lake. Two ditched channels on the site were also restored to meandering streams with pool and riffle habitat.

Project Description (Be sure to include cost information, photos, and a detailed description of the work performed by the Vendor applicant): The Forest Exploration Center in Milwaukee County is a non-profit organization aimed at helping their visitors explore, explain, and experience Wisconsin forests. The center sits within a 60 acre mature forest, one of the largest contiguous forests in Milwaukee County, which makes it a prime location to learn about forest ecology and sustainable forestry practices. Its semi-urban location is prime to provide unique interpretive opportunities via existing and future trail systems. SmithGroupJJR worked with the Center on master planning and implementation for improvements to pedestrian circulation and visitor experience, as well as an overall green infrastructure plan for the facility. Goals of the plan include: • Reduce or eliminate on-site stormwater discharge • Reduce open standing water areas for geese control • Provide naturalized habitat areas • Establish a long-term monitoring program • Minimize maintenance requirements and costs • Implement alternative energy sources

Project Description (Be sure to include cost information, photos, and a detailed description of the work performed by the Vendor applicant): The City of Dubuque is committed to preserving its historic fabric, as well as embracing sustainable practices as a revitalization strategy for the community’s future. The Historic Millwork District in downtown Dubuque was an opportunity to transform an existing industrial district into a model for sustainable redevelopment. SmithGroupJJR worked with the City to develop creative and sustainable solutions which brand the district through the unique design of its streetscape. The project includes redeveloping 18 blocks within the district into “Green Streets” by implementing sustainable design strategies. This included reusing much of the existing historic brick pavers, incorporating flow-through planters along the streetscape, and permeable pavement in the alleys and parking areas, and adding efficient street lighting that replicates the historic character of the area. Equal emphasis was placed on pedestrian and cyclists, including walkway enhancements, bump outs, and bike lanes. The one million square feet of space in the project will be developed as a mixed use district to include office and retail space, rental/condominium residential, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The design of a public square in the heart of the district will serve as focal point featuring seasonal markets, outdoor performances, and civic activities.

Project Description (Be sure to include cost information, photos, and a detailed description of the work performed by the Vendor applicant): SmithGroupJJR has been involved with the Green Bay Botanical Garden since 2002 when it prepared an update to the original Master Plan.

In 2014, SmithGroupJJR led a master planning workshop to develop a program for the Grand Garden and propose alternative layouts. The resulting master plan kicked off a capital campaign that quickly raised funds for implementation. SmithGroupJJR completed contract documents and construction administration for all elements of the site design, partnering with Somerville Architects for the garden structures. The final design for the garden was based on the following project goals:

Create an amphitheater for groups of up to 1,500 attendees to host events such as concerts, plays, or large weddings.

Provide a sizable garden to better showcase the Magnolia Grove collection, with relocation of existing specimens as needed to open strategic views and create smaller garden rooms on the sides of a larger, open lawn.

Connect the space with its surroundings, providing designed transitions to the Woodland Garden, to the GBBG trail system, and to the Mabel Thome Patio and Schneider Education Center.

Provide support facilities for the Garden of Lights that can be used throughout the year for other events or classes.

Integrate the circulation system within the garden space, so that it functions for the Garden of Lights winter display and provides an accessible route for visitors.

Include sustainable stormwater management strategies, including rain gardens and bioinfiltration swales to capture and treat runoff, a living retaining wall to hold a steep slope, permeable pavers for plaza surfaces, and constructed wetlands to act as a final buffer before water trickles into adjacent natural areas.
