VISION

The inverted pyramid is sealed in the memories of many residents of this community, as they reflect back on wonderful times spent as a child, with a family member, or as a solitary explorer. It remains today as a powerful physical presence on our skyline. Pull away the multi-colored cubes, the jumbled mix of retail shops and upper level planar glass panels, and the inverted pyramid is a beautiful, pure form. Our design turns it into a crystal, a diamond, a gem, with a reflective surface that will glisten and sparkle.

It is more sustainable to re-use the structure rather than disposing of it. Construction time and related fossil fuels will be saved. Less new materials and resources will be required to provide a significant building via renovation than if we were building the structure new. We are able to provide the city more amenities and square footage for less money by keeping the existing structure.

Historical preservation is also a consideration. The structure is a unique representation of modern architecture. It was designed by one of the City’s preeminent architects, William Harvard, Sr. The building’s unique historical characteristic lies in its structural system and shape, both of which we intend to highlight. Stripping away all aspects of the building that were constructed in the 1980s or later will also help bring the building back to it’s original form.

Our Pier is a repurposed, reimagined, historic yet contemporary icon.

WHY RE-IMAGINE THE INVERTED PYRAMID?Pull away the multi-colored cubes, the jumbled mix of retail shops and upper level planar glass panels, and the inverted pyramid is a beautiful, pure form.

VISION

Our current downtown waterfront offers amazing opportunities for both passive and active experiences but lately, as people approach the Pier, the question most often in people’s minds is “what will I do out there?” We have answered that call with a multitude of active, fun, recreational activities to complement existing experiences. At the New St. Pete Pier, opportunities will be spaced all along the promenade, beginning with the Spa Beach Grill. As you walk toward the Pier Head, you will encounter a new, unique St. Petersburg experience, every 60 seconds.

Play on the beach, eat a hamburger, savor an ice cream cone, drink a beverage, enjoy an intimate dinner, take in the view, or relax beneath the shade. Rent a paddleboard, climb a bouldering wall, play volleyball, strike up a ping pong or chess game, lie above the water on the Grand Hammock, or catch a fish. The waterfront experience at the Pier will be unforgettable and one that you will want to enjoy over and over again.

Whether you are a native or a tourist, part of a family or an individual, all should enjoy our beautiful waterfront. It is our number one attraction and what defines our unique City.

THE DESTINATION

PIER APPROACH UPLANDSPIER HEAD

Mindful of the desire to attract both tourists and residents and to keep them coming back, our design strives to provide opportunities for each and every program element requested. Our design form derives its shape from the placement of these program elements and is a true reflection of form following function. Functional and efficient, our design provides safe, delineated routes for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, expanding in areas for visitors to gather, mingle and meet.

PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENTS

VISION

VISION

OBSERVATION AND VIEWINGThe new dimensions of the Pier Approach and configuration of the Pier Head mean that impressive views of the water and downtown waterfront can be had from anywhere on the Pier. For the most spectacular views, the upper level of the pyramid offers a clear, unobstructed 360-degree observation platform. A new roof will shelter this “Sky Deck” and its outside seating from sun and rain. The outer 30-foot band of the roof will create dappled shade and will be capable of supporting translucent photovoltaic solar panels which if installed as part of a future project, could significantly reduce facility operating costs.

DINING OPTIONSChoices, choices, choices. The new Pier offers the Community opportunities for a variety of dining options and for Restaurateurs, the infrastructure to launch a variety of unique dining concepts.

At the Spa Beach Grill, we have designed the infrastructure for an open-air beachside grill to serve the beach and the Pier Approach. It will be similar in scale to the Paradise Grille on Pass a Grille beach. The design is low in profile and will integrate seamlessly into the park with the ground simply pulling upwards to provide shade and shelter. The roof will be grass and can serve as a walkable observation point. The Spa Beach Grill will be one of the only dining options in Tampa Bay located directly adjacent to the beach.

Positioned along the Approach, east of the north fishing pier, a small concession stand will provide refreshments and snacks. At the Pier Head, three dining options are provided. The Sunset Café and the Ice Cream Shop are

located on the Party Deck to take advantage of the shade provided by the Main Deck level. The third dining option at the Pier Head is located within the top level Sky Deck of the inverted pyramid. Space is provided for a new 3,500 square foot Sky Deck Restaurant that will offer air-conditioned dining inside and café style, shaded seating outside.

CYCLING, WALKING, AND JOGGING PATHS Bicycle lanes and sidewalks are provided along the Pier Approach to the Pier Head and circulate all around the Pyramid. These pathways are 12 feet wide at their narrowest point. They are dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians as are the pathways all along our current waterfront. We envision bicycle share stations at the Uplands ramp access and at the Pyramid Main Deck, automated like the Paris, New York, Montreal and Tampa Bike rental systems. Additional pathways extend to fishing docks and connect back to the Uplands Park. A new north-south sidewalk forms a new beach edge and leads to the north seawall at the entrance to the Vinoy Basin.

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONSThe new Pier will have plentiful sidewalks for pedestrians and bicycles, and two lanes dedicated for public trams, a trolley, emergency vehicles, service vehicles and limited automobile access. All vehicular traffic will be 15 mph speed controlled and safe, pedestrian crossings will be offered.

We envision that a free City provided public tram system of golf-cart-type open cars will run continuously between Bayshore Drive and the Pier Head. Shaded Tram Stops are provided at the Dolphin and Pelican

Functional | Buildable | Affordable Parking Lots, the Pier Head, Bayshore Drive, the Museum of History and at three intermediate stops along the Pier Approach. The Trams will move at up to 7 mph, be equipped with wheelchair lifts and a place at the back to transport coolers. No pedestrian on the pathway will be farther than a two minute walk to a Tram Stop.

Car, taxi and tour bus access to the Pier Head is provided on the two vehicular lanes. Drop-off and Pick-up will be available at the Pier Head, however, there will be no parking on the Bridge Approach or at the Pier Head. Vehicular circulation around the Pier Head will be allowed only for Emergency, Service and Delivery vehicles.

FISHINGA stable, wood decked fishing platform running parallel to the Pier Approach occurs on the north side. Accessed via an accessible sloping ramp on two sides, anglers can fish from a deck just four feet off the water’s surface. A bait shop with concessions, restrooms and drinking fountains, is located at the east end of the fishing platform. At the Pier Head, a lower level for recreational fishing will be placed on the southeast side of the Head, also near water level. It will be connected to the Party Deck level via two accessible ramps, which provide access to restrooms, drinking fountains and a souvenir stand.

COURTESY AND TRANSIENT DOCKSCalming the often turbulent waters around the Pier has always been a challenge. By design, our concept does not provide transient motorboat docks at the new Pier Approach or Pier Head. Instead, courtesy and transient boat dockage is shown at the Middle Basin

channel entry. These docks have been proposed by the City Marina, were discussed with City Council and are scheduled to be completed around the time of the new Pier.

Our design provides a kayak, canoe and paddleboard launch at the south end of Spa Beach. In this location, we have also provided a kayak condo storage area embedded within the new Approach ramp retaining wall. This is also close to the new Spa Beach Grill.

Dockage for the proposed St. Petersburg-Tampa high-speed ferry could occur at the south side of the Vinoy Basin.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONThe lower three levels of the new pyramid are ideal to function as a home for an environmental education element/interactive marine discovery center, which is a prominent component of the City’s required program. A new 36-foot-high atrium unifies the lower three levels with a curved stair. Collaborating closely with members of the marine science community of St. Petersburg we have explored the programmatic potential of this portion of the design and have found that the floor plates allow for a creative, unique plan solution.

Another potential educational opportunity could be the story of glass, water and sand, all of which are found in great quantities here in St. Petersburg. Glass, a stable liquid, is made from sand. This sand works its way from the Gulf to create our beaches. One possibility could be a museum featuring the art and science of glass. This would be appropriately located within an inverted pyramid of glass.

Permittable | Sustainable | Attractable

VISION

FLEXIBLE EVENT SPACE AND PERFORMANCE AREAS Observation stair platforms are located along the Bridge Approach at the west end of the fishing platform. At the Pier Head on the Main Deck level, we have incorporated a sloping artificial turf lawn which seats approximately 150 people. Also at the Pier Head, but down one level on the Party Deck, a flexible performance space for bands and music is provided.

BIKE AND WATERCRAFT RENTAL Adjacent to the Spa Beach Grill is a watercraft and bicycle rental kiosk. Kayaks, Canoes and Paddleboards could also be rented at this location.

RETAIL OPPORTUNITIESBy design, retail options on the new Pier are limited but well positioned and relevant to the program offerings. Two Souvenir Shops, a Bike Share Kiosk, a Bait Shop, a Bicycle Rental kiosk and a Watercraft Rental Shop – which will also offer retail items useful to those using the beach. Rounding out the Retail opportunities are the Sky Deck Restaurant, the Spa Beach Grill, the Sunset Café and the Ice Cream Shop.

SHADE AT SPA BEACHExisting landscaping will remain and will offer shaded spots to rest. The new Spa Beach Grill also provides a sheltered area beneath a green roof.

SHADE AT THE PIER APPROACHLacey aluminum arbors, located at two separate Tram Stops on the North side of the Pier Approach, are covered with cape honeysuckle to provide shade to pedestrians waiting to catch a Tram or walking on their

way to the Pier Head. A third shaded Tram Stop on the south side of the Pier Approach provides one additional area to sit and rest.

SHADE AT THE PIER HEADThe Pier Head is multi-level so the Party Deck, which is below the Main Deck level, is almost entirely in shade and depending on the time of day and the angle of the sun, portions of the Main Deck will be shaded by the overhang of the inverted Pyramid. Shade is also provided at the Pyramid’s top level Sky Deck.

FULLY ACCESSIBLEThe New Pier will be fully accessible.

AIR-CONDITIONINGThe New Pier will have interior air-conditioned spaces.

SEA LEVEL RISE The existing Pier and entrance to the existing pyramid is below FEMA flood level. The new entrance to the pyramid and the Main Deck surrounding it will be 24.5 feet above the water. All pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles, will arrive at this level. This new height has an advantage, in that it is well above current FEMA flooding level and accounts for predicted sea level rise and storm surges.

As the historical living room for the City, Spa Beach served as a prime urban escape without having to leave downtown. The amenities once fostered a sense of community and helped to enrich the overall downtown waterfront experience.

A LINK TO THE PAST

S P A B E A C H


Through the Pier’s history Spa Beach has been the most significant recreation feature on the uplands. It once spanned the entire north peninsula within the current sea walls. It was the quintessential vantage point for countless postcards and pictures. It once had volleyball courts, cabanas, and a playground. Our team wants to bring the beach back to prominence by providing a significant expansion of the current beach and give the recreational programs back to the community. We would return the sand above the current seawall and triple the existing beach size. This method is historically accurate and it eliminates permitting hurdles that would arise from filling additional sand in the bay itself due to significant areas of sea grass adjacent to the current beach.

We also believe there is another benefit to placing a large area of beach above the sea wall. Over time as the sea rises, this portion of the beach will be preserved. The beach will have kayak condos built into the side of the new approach berm. A bouldering climbing area will also be located on the side of the pier approach berm adjacent to the beach. The wall will extend over both sand and water to provide an additional play feature at a minimal cost. Volleyball courts will be provided and cater to the AVP which recently used this location for a beach volleyball tournament. We also envision a grove of palm trees shading outdoor ping pong tables and chess/checkers boards.

The reimagined Spa beach will allow older generations to reminisce while new generations rediscover our only downtown beach.

A beachside grill will serve the beach and the pier approach. The design would integrate seamlessly into the park by simply pulling the ground up to provide shade and shelter. The grass roof would be a walkable observation point providing optimal views of the Bay and activities. Concessions located directly on the beach make Spa Beach Grill a desirable destination for both locals and tourists.

St. Petersburg is famous for its beautiful waterfront views that are enhanced by the Pier’s outreach into the Bay. The community traveled out to the Pier Head by foot, railroad, vehicles and trams to enjoy the breathtaking views.

A LINK TO THE PAST

T H E P I E R A P P R O A C H


The Pier will feature a new bridge approach that offers its own special experiences of observation, movement, places to rest, facilities for fishing, and shaded amenities to enhance the pedestrian experience. It will have sidewalks for pedestrians, designated lanes for bicycles, and two lanes for trolley, public trams, emergency vehicles, service vehicles and limited automobile access. It will have areas of shade, rest, observation and public art to make the experience varied and enjoyable. Vehicular traffic will be 15 mph speed controlled and safe, pedestrian crossings will be offered. There will be no parking along the Bridge Approach or at the Pyramid.

A lower level for recreational fishing will be placed on the north side of the approach near water level. It will have accessible ramp access to a bait and tackle shop. It will be connected to the upper level for convenience, access to restrooms, drinking fountains and transportation.

Located a short walk away from Spa Beach on the north side of the Pier Approach, this terraced seating area provides a shaded place to stop and rest, read a book, and overlook the Bay and the Vinoy beyond. A Tram Stop is positioned at the top of the steps and a ramp to the fishing pier extends out below.

THE BAYVIEW STEPS

Lacey arbors covered with cape honeysuckle will provide shade to pedestrians on their way to the Pier head. We have also incorporated the use of artificial turf in selected areas to soften the hard surface experience of the Pier bridge and provide a continuation of the “park experience” out to the Pier head. Shade, colorful planting and points of interest will engage pedestrians along the walk, making their journey to the Pier a pleasurable experience.

Original model created by Harvard Jolly Architecture, 1968

The Pier Head has served for many years as the platform for over-water public gathering, "festival market" style retail space, and a tourist destination in downtown St. Petersburg.

A LINK TO THE PAST

T H E P I E R H E A D


The Pier Head is a place for discovery, contemplation, entertainment, picnicking, and play. It is a destination that beckons patrons to explore further. If we want residents to frequent the New Pier then we must provide a design that can be experienced differently with each visit. Instead of one path provided around the current pyramid head we will have three levels, two stairs, and two ramps. Patrons will now have countless path combinations creating their own unique experience. Some may choose to stay on the Main Deck where it is partially shaded. Some may choose to be completely shaded at the lower Party Deck. Still others may select to get closer to the water at the Fishing Deck. As you continue your exploration new activities and spaces are revealed around every turn.

The New Pier Head will have a large circular opening around the base of the pyramid exposing the water below. This simplifies the new platform construction since pile driving under the pyramid overhang will be more challenging. There will now be an exciting view of the pyramid, emerging, as it were, from the Bay. This beneficially exposes the sea bed below to sunlight it has not experienced in over 80 years. The arrival platform will have three deck levels to provide views, activities and fishing from different heights. All deck levels are interconnected via stairs, accessible walkways and ramps and the existing Pyramid is connected to the Main Deck by two bridges which span across the large circular opening.

THE PIER HEAD


PIER HEAD ARRIVAL AND THE SUNSET CAFÉ


The Pier Head will be a place for observation, picnicking, rest and play.

The Main Deck will feature an information station, a souvenir concession, a bicycle-share area and a small event lawn.

MAIN DECK

The Party Deck will extend from below the main deck providing continuous shade around the pier head. Programming will include flexible performance space, an outdoor café, a kid zone and an open ice-cream parlor.

PARTY DECK

The Fishing Deck is the lowest level and closest to the water. To encourage fishing in this area we would like to explore an artificial reef utilizing some of the demolished concrete structure. Between the fishing deck and the Party Deck would be a Grand Hammock. The hammock is an opportunity to climb suspended over the water and a relaxing space to take in the view.

FISHING DECK


Located on the Party Deck in the northwest corner, the Sunset Café provides a shaded, casual outdoor dining option. Enjoy a sandwich or a beverage and watch the sunset over the downtown skyline. Stairs lead up to the Main Deck and an information station. An accessible ramp can also be used to access the Main Deck.

THE SUNSET CAFÉ

Contemporary, casual, fun... "Let's meet at the Sunset Café."

Located on the Main Deck in the northwest corner, this info. booth will provide an important meeting spot and place for visitors to get information about daily events and special activities at the Pier.

With the emphasis of the Pier design being around and on the water, it was natural to have a waterfall element inside the original Inverted Pyramid. A ring of water, creating a cylindrical waterfall at the center of the building, connected the first and second levels.

A LINK TO THE PAST T H E S T . P E T E P I E R W A T E R F A L L S

Original interior waterfall designed by Harvard Jolly Architecture, 1973


PUBLIC ART

This large waterfall is just one of the rewards at the end of your stroll out to the Pier Head. It is the must see event. We envision that the waterfall system on the west side of the Pyramid would operate a minimum of once per day for example at noon or sunset. It could potentially be more frequently used on weekends, holidays, and special events. Like the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Belllagio fountain in Las Vegas, this special event will become a much anticipated occurrence that will beckon visitors of all ages to stay and enjoy the spectacle.

SKY DECK WATERFALL

A second waterfall feature will be positioned along the pedestrian bridge leading to the west side of the Pyramid’s Main Entrance. This system will run continuously during operating hours and give visitors the opportunity to stroll between two walls of water.

ENTRY BRIDGE WATERFALL

What force of nature captures the senses, ignites the imagination, and attracts your attention more than a large waterfall? At the new St. Pete Pier, you will feel the cool breeze created by falling water and hear the soothing sound of water falling into the Bay below. Now imagine a waterfall that can also be used as a canvas for video and light – which would be large enough to be visible from the entire waterfront. Artists can transform this water canvas into St. Petersburg’s largest interactive Public Art piece. The opportunities are endless: video mapping shows, light displays, movies, or temporary large scale image projections. We envision the waterfalls as an integral Public Art component that brings together St. Pete’s two greatest attractions: Art and Water.

THE ST. PETE PIER WATERFALLS


The innovative design of the inverted pyramid was born from practical and functional considerations. The goals were to provide expansive views to the water and the city beyond, as well as create a large observation deck at the highest level. The economic solution to minimize the building’s footprint at the lowest level was obtained by penetrating through the platform with four closely spaced caissons. The result was the now iconic building form.

A LINK TO THE PAST

T H E I N V E R T E D P Y R A M I D


Prominent on our skyline, an exclamation point at the end of our Pier and extending out into the Bay, the Inverted Pyramid will continue to be a symbol for our community. Audiences of all ages will be drawn to explore and enjoy this destination. The re-imagined Inverted Pyramid will become a timeless centerpiece of the new Pier and Downtown waterfront experience, allowing once again for the most powerful views of our beautiful home.

The Pyramid is not just a symbol for our city – it is a representation of our people and a powerful physical presence on our waterfront. Many of us have fond memories of events at the end of the pier, of wonderful times spent as a child, with a family member, or as a solitary explorer, and it is our belief these fond memories will be enhanced with a revitalization.

THE INVERTED PYRAMID

The Pyramid will become, once more, a platform for our city’s continued growth and development.


The existing first level of the inverted pyramid is below the new FEMA flood plane elevation, and will be abandoned and demolished. Therefore, what was the second floor will become the new first floor, or Main Deck level.

The new first floor will offer visitors a dramatic visual connection to the water below via a circular opening in the floor covered with structural glass. A beautiful winding stair will connect to the floors above. Access to new public restrooms, high speed elevators and fire egress stairs will also be provided.

FIRST LEVEL

FIRST LEVEL


The new second level will offer flexible event space with expansive views to the downtown waterfront and Tampa Bay. Visitors will be able to gain access to this level via the winding stair or high speed elevators. The atrium space created by the opening for the winding stair will create a visual connection between all three levels, making for a grander experience.

The Sky Deck is the community’s observation level, open and free to all visitors. It will offer open-air panoramic views of the downtown waterfront and Tampa Bay. The new roof structure will provide much-needed relief from direct sun exposure and the occasional rain shower. Visitors will see and hear the flow of water from the Sky Deck Waterfall along the western edge. In addition to observation, visitors will have access to dining and refreshment options. An Event Oculus on the east side makes an ideal space for weddings or other significant occasions.

The new roof is solid except for an open framework along the perimeter. The smaller, center portion of the roof will house the building's mechanical system equipment, screened from view.

FIFTH LEVEL

A geothermal pond loop design serves as the cooling medium for the building. Using the Bay seabed under the Main Deck and around the caissons as a heat sink, the system transfers the low temperature of the seabed to help cool the building which drastically reduces energy costs.

Measured Bay bottom temperatures at the 12-foot depth near the Pier ead location indicate a temperature delta sufficient to use this cooling source more efficiently than would either classic cooling towers or air exchange systems, posing no environmental problems while reducing electrical power use.

The Inverted Pyramid design is a unique environment that can accommodate a variety of tenants. The space is flexible, open, and has beautiful panoramic views of the water and skyline. We envision the possibilities of a Marine Discovery Center or a Glass Museum or an Event Space. The Sky Deck is a perfect opportunity for not only observation, but also an indoor and outdoor restaurant.

Anchor tenants in the Inverted Pyramid would provide their own interior fit-out, equipment, furnishings, sprinkler modifications, electrical and HVAC connecting to connect to the infrastructure already provided within the cores of the Inverted Pyramid for power, data, fresh air, return air and coolant/heating. Infrastructure will be provided for those outside the Inverted Pyramid.

The success of the new Pier project will lie in its ability to connect the downtown waterfront to the Uplands and Spa Beach, Spa Beach to the Pier and more importantly, the residents of St. Pete to the water. Our design provides multiple levels of connectivity through the use of existing Trolley services and a new City provided tram (similar to those at Disney World). It also provides the ability to safely access the end of the Pier using a personal vehicle, a bicycle, a segway, or by foot.

TECHNICAL

The pumps, piping, jet spray lighting and equipment for all waterfalls will be heavy duty and rated for salt water continuous use. The pumps and their fittings will be constructed of heavy duty, non-corrosive, non-eroding parts found in off-shore oil rigs. They will be protected by common suction debris screens to meet regulatory size requirements with a separate screen washing pump system to regularly keep screens clean. The pumps will be a submersible type and employ a heavy duty, vertical

rail system, integrated into the design of the structure, to allow for servicing from the pedestrian bridge. The pumps will be located in deep water to protect from storm surges, but high enough to minimize engagement with suspended particles. Water streams will be canted slightly outward to increase wind resistance. Spacing and nozzle size will be tested during the design stage.

WATERFALL EQUIPMENT

This large waterfall is just one of the rewards at the end of your stroll out to the Pier Head. It is the must see event. We envision that the waterfall system on the west side of the Pyramid will be programmed to operate only one time per hour, on the hour, for 10 minutes in duration. Like the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Bellagio fountain in Las Vegas, this special event will become a much anticipated occurrence that will beckon visitors of all ages to enjoy the spectacle.

• The waterfall system will consist of an overflow trough at guardrail height on the west side of the top level Sky Deck observation platform. The trough is approximately 164’ long and is set 65’ above sea level.• The overflow trough is fed from 3 separate pumps into a narrow trough that feeds a series of 1” streams of water spaced at perhaps 2” on center. The pumps will operate 3 separate sections of the trough, the 2 ends and the middle, allowing numerous opportunities for customization. • The pumps will be programmed to operate one time per hour, on the hour, for 10 minutes in duration. This will be repeated on a specific schedule as desired and could run for longer periods of time during special events or holidays. • Estimated pump flow is 9,000gpm = (3) x 90 hp pumps. Each pump requires a 14” supply pipe and the multiple pumps provide redundancy.• A wind sensing system will monitor wind speeds and direction and will be interfaced with each of the 3 pumps so that in high or problematic wind conditions, the pumps shut off. The estimated wind threshold before turning off is 15 mph. The pump that operates the middle section, located above the pedestrian bridge, will have an even lower wind threshold.

SKY DECK WATERFALL

A second waterfall feature will be positioned along the pedestrian bridge leading to the west side of the Pyramid’s Main Entrance. This system will run continuously during operating hours and give visitors the opportunity to stroll between two walls of water.

• The waterfall system will consist of an overflow trough at bridge deck level on either side of the guardrail. Each trough is approximately 100’ long, with water falling approximately 24’ to the sea level below.• The overflow troughs are fed from 3 separate pumps below into a narrow trough that feeds a series of 1” streams of water spaced at perhaps 2” on center.• Pumps will be programmed to operate perhaps up to 16 hours per day as desired.• Estimated pump flow is 6,000gpm = (3) x 30 hp pumps. Each pump requires a 12” supply pipe and the multiple pumps provide redundancy.• A wind sensing system will monitor wind speeds and direction and will be interfaced with the bridge pumps so that in high or problematic wind conditions, the pumps will shut off. The estimated wind threshold before turning off is 20mph for the Entry Bridge Waterfall.


TECHNICAL

Plants have been selected to fit perfectly with the geographical area and the specific micro climates afforded by exposure to the conditions of Tampa Bay. We have utilized native or adapted species of plant materials (preferred list attached) appropriate for their location, their aesthetic and growth characteristics, their utility, their maintenance requirements and their sustainability.

Specifically, the Plan’s landscape design maintains the allée of podocarpus street trees that line Second Avenue N.E. These trees are healthy and have been a part of the historic fabric of the Pier approach for decades, originally decorated by businesses during the Winter Holiday season over 70 years ago. We have also been sensitive to retaining as many oak trees on site as possible, designing around major trees and transplanting smaller ones. We have used retaining walls, tree wells, site configuration, and other methods to ensure these trees will remain healthy and provide shade for many years to come. Walkways are shaded with tree foliage on the upland. Clusters of native ornamental trees and palms have also been employed to visually link introduced elements to the park fabric.

ST. PETE’S WATERFRONT ECOLOGY

The design team understands that specific conditions of the environmental resource permit may require water quality monitoring during demolition of the existing pier and construction of the new pier which will be managed through temporary mixing zones and/or sediment/turbidity barriers that are safe for manatees and other wildlife. Turbidity monitoring may also be required at various sampling locations within pre specified construction zones during the pier demolition, new pier construction and airport shoreline stabilization as appropriate. Despite these temporary, construction related activities, the design team anticipates a net environmental benefit as a result of the new pier design and therefore does not anticipate any permitting obstacles that would inhibit construction of the proposed design by the St. Pete Design Group.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING

A Commercial Dock Permit from Pinellas County will be required for the replacement of the existing Pier. The Project will be reviewed for environmental impacts, navigational impacts, construction requirements, as well as consistency with the Water and Navigation Code. Our design has a smaller overall footprint, fewer piles, and less area square footage when viewed as a 2-dimensional elevation meaning that current navigational views are not negatively compromised.

PINELLAS COUNTY DOCK PERMIT

The free-standing glass entry canopy will protect visitors from the Sky Deck Waterfall, which will run intermittently. A freshwater rinse along the top leading edge of the canopy will operate immediately after each waterfall event, to clean the glass and seals of saltwater residue.

Tampa Bay is a climate ready estuary. This designation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency means that the local scientific community is committed to studying the potential effects of climate change, including sea level rise, and adopting policies that include planning and adaptation for the potential that sea levels will continue to rise into the foreseeable future. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and the United States Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) have been developing computer models to predict sea level rise at various locations throughout the contiguous United States. One such tool developed by the ACOE uses local, empirical tide gauge information to predict local effects of sea level rise under various climate scenarios. This tool has been accepted by the FDOT and the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Using a start date of 2015 and an expected life until 2090 for the outputs below, one can see that the expected sea level rise at the St. Petersburg Pier by 2050 would be approximately 0.75 feet but may be as high as 1.7 feet if using the higher estimates. By 2090, sea levels may be as high as 4.32 feet above current levels. The choice of estimate used depends on the risk tolerance the user is willing to accept for planning purposes but using even the highest estimates, our proposed design elevations are well above the projected sea level rise estimates under the worst case scenario and further include a margin of error for additional storm surge.

SEA LEVEL RISE

TECHNICAL

team will work in collaboration with the local Building and Fire authorities in St Petersburg to develop a design which meets the needs of all those interested parties.

ADDITIONAL CODE COMMENTARYBecause of its variable programming, there will be special events at which more than 300 congregate in a single area, however, the Pier will be closed when wind speeds reach Tropical Storm Force levels (39 to 73mph). The Pier is not an essential facility and has no emergency, defense or strategic function, however, the 2014 Florida Building Code uses the Risk Category for determining the seismic design category, which will be a requirement in Florida with the new code. Seismic events cannot be planned for or evacuated prior to. Our team believes it is safe and prudent to opt for a higher occupancy and risk category classification for the new Pier. For these reasons, our design adheres to the requirements of a Risk Category III structure.

• The bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member (pile cap) of an occupied level will be 1-foot or more above flood level.

• Wind loads will correspond to an ultimate basic wind speed of 155 mph (3 sec peak gust). ASCE 7-10 wind pressures will be calculated using Exposure D.

• A Performance based Life Safety evaluation will utilize the Stranded Crowd Model. Performance data obtained will be evacuation flow rates, total evacuation time, etc.

• Number of occupants will be calculated based on “performance based” evaluation.

• Computer Model Input Data: Occupant Load, total egress width, travel distance to exit, demographics, occupant with attributes based upon US Census Data, etc.

• The entire project will meet or exceed all Americans with Disabilites Act Guidelines.

• All pedestrian circulation areas are accessible and

utilize a maximum slope of 1:20. The fishing pier on the north side of the Pier Approach is also accessible via ramps which utilize a 1:12 slope.

• 20-foot minimum clear width for vehicles is provided along the Approach and all around the Pier Head.

• A minimum of 13’-6” clear height is provided along all points of the Pier for Fire Truck access.

• The portions of the pier open to limited vehicular access are designed for a single 36 ton vehicle.

• All minimum required turning diameters are provided.• There will be no docking space provided for motorized

boats along the Pier Approach or at the Pier Head. • All parts of the Pier will be within 150 ft of a fire hydrant

or a standpipe.• All internal buildings and enclosed areas will be

provide with an automatic fire suppression system. • Fire Suppression Hoods will be provided at the

Restaurant, the Sunset Café and the Spa Beach Grill.• All structural components at the Pier Head, in the

Pyramid and structural elements that support vehicular use, are noncombustible.

• No permanent or “removable” barriers will separate Fire Dept. vehicles and those evacuating which would constrain egress and slow evacuation.

• Break-Out areas along the Approach will provide “areas of refuge” where persons can get out of the way of moving pedestrians and moving vehicles.

• The Pier will be provided with a Public Address System which will give both prerecorded and emergency messages as well as “live directives”.

• The Pier Building is classified as Assembly. The Pier Head and Pier Approach are classified as Outdoor Assembly – other uses such as Retail, Toilet Rooms and Storage are Accessory Uses.

• Handrail loads will be rated for pedestrians and for vehicles where appropriate.

As a large scale public assembly facility, maintaining the highest levels of occupant safety and comfort will be a crucial aspect of the designs philosophy. The key focus of this strategy will be the ability for all occupants of the pier to evacuate in a safe and timely manner should any emergency condition occur – be this a fire, adverse weather or any other ‘extreme’ event.

The projects fire & life strategy will be based upon the ability of occupants to egress any enclosed spaces/buildings on the pier, out onto the exterior pier walkways which will be classified as an ‘area of relative safety’, while allowing emergency responders sufficient space and facilities to quickly and efficiently access the pier and its buildings to conduct any necessary rescue or fire-fighting activities. Such an evacuation will be initiated by a pier wide Public Address System which will have the ability to provide both pre-recorded messages as well as ‘live directives’ from the agency leading any emergency response.

The new pier will comply with all necessary local Building and Fire related codes for assembly buildings as well as adopting best international practice and performance based design where considered necessary in order to enhance the level of safety for the pier’s occupants. Such performance based strategies may include the use of people flow and evacuation modelling of the pier’s population (particularly in high visitor conditions such as July 4th or New Year’s Eve for example) and computational Fluid dynamic (CFD) smoke modelling of realistic fire conditions. The use of people flow modelling will enable, via the use of a ‘performance based evaluation’ the team to establish a ‘reasonable’ time period within which the pier structure should be entirely evacuated which will inform egress widths and travel distances for the project.

As the key element of the scheme, the inverted pyramid, will be the most densely occupied area of the pier and therefore a central focal point of the projects fire

strategy. Designed as a sprinkler protected assembly building, the inverted pyramid will be provided with a series of separated, and fire protected, egress routes that will enable occupant discharge onto the pier in a number of locations thereby providing redundancy and diversification of the building’s egress provisions. With the inverted pyramid containing open stairs creating connections between adjacent floors, which could provide a route for smoke spread within the building, it will be essential to demonstrate that this will not hinder an occupant’s ability to utilize the building’s protected means of egress. In order to achieve this, a CFD analysis of the space will be conducted to reinforce the Building Code’s atrium design requirements and to demonstrate that a high standard of occupant safety has been fully integrated into the design.

Efficient access to the pier, and hence to the inverted pyramid, for emergency vehicles and First Responders is considered an essential element of the projects emergency strategy. Roads and access routes on the pier will be of sufficient width (min. 20’-0” clear width and 13’-6” clear height) and capacity (32 tons) to accommodate those emergency vehicles expected on site and roadways will be located such that the most direct access to building’s can be made. Where turning facilities are required, the appropriate turning radius for vehicles required to access the pier will be provided in addition to a series of ‘break-out’ areas along the piers approach road will can be used as areas where pedestrians can move to one-side to allow the passage of emergency vehicles. Once on the pier, First Responders will have access to a network of fire-fighting water supplies with all parts of the pier being within 150ft of a fire hydrant or a standpipe to allow rapid deployment of resources.

The development of a fully cohesive and coordinated fire & life safety strategy for a project of this nature is complex and requires input from many stakeholders. The design

LIFE SAFETY FIRE STRATEGY NARRATIVE

TECHNICAL

The wind speeds currently specified for design of new buildings by the 2010 Florida Building Code, and the upcoming 5th edition of the FBC, are higher than those used for building design when the original Pier structure was designed circa 1969-70. Based on our preliminary analysis, the existing base columns and foundations have sufficient capacity to resist today’s code wind loads. With the unique geometry of the building frame, there are many more framing members, such as the perimeter angled columns and floor struts, that transfer lateral wind forces from the upper floors into the foundation. All of the framing members will be checked for all current code wind, as well as dead and live load forces, using the finite element analysis software SAP 2000.

As this building has a unique geometry with sloped rather than vertical walls collecting wind load, and the wind pressures calculated by the equations in the building codes are historically conservative as they are intended to apply to many different building geometries, we will recommend obtaining a wind tunnel study to determine more accurate design wind pressures for this building. Wind tunnel studies, which consist of placing a scale model of the proposed building inside a wind tunnel and measuring the actual pressures at numerous places on the building surface, are widely recognized as the most accurate method for determining wind pressures on a building. This study will prevent an overly conservative analysis of the existing building frame (which may show existing members need to be strengthened when they don’t), and optimize the design of the perimeter glazing allowing as thin a system as possible.

STRUCTURAL CODE COMPLIANCE

Our preliminary structural analysis has shown that there is reserve capacity in many of the existing column and angled strut steel framing members. The structure has the capacity to support the proposed added roof level. A detailed structural model will be created to thoroughly analyze the existing and new framing using SAP 2000, a State-of-the-Art analytical computer software program, to confirm that all framing members can support the new loads. Any isolated members or connections that do need to be strengthened due to new stresses will be done so locally in the areas identified by our analysis.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN STRATEGY

Structural engineering codes governing the project include:

• Florida Building Code (2010) – Chapter 16 (Structural Design)

• FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction

• AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 6th Edition (2012)

• AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications for Design of Pedestrian Bridges, 2nd Edition (2009)

• City of St. Petersburg Engineering Design Standards• City of St. Petersburg Codes and Ordinances• FAA Height Regulations for Albert Whitted

Municipal Airport• OSHA Regulations• ACI – Design of Concrete Structures• Precast Concrete Institute Bridge Design Manual

STRUCTURAL CRITERIA

Our structural design approach involves reusing the existing framing, and introducing several features that will modify the structure, including adding a roof over the level four observation deck and inserting a new central spiral stair connecting the first three levels.

The pier approach and pier head are located in a Coastal High Hazard Area and designated a Velocity Zone (VE). The based flood elevation is at 8 ft. The pier is located in a VE-8 flood zone.

June through November is hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea with the majority of hurricane activity occurring between August and October. Tampa Bay experiences effects of passing storms although it is uncommon for the area to receive a direct hit. The effect of these passing storms typically result with high winds, increased wave heights, flooding due to storm surge, and increased cross-shore sediment transportation rates. The 25 October 1921 “Tarpon Springs” storm was the last major hurricane to directly hit the St. Petersburg areas with wind speeds on approximately 115 mph at landfall.

Hurricanes and tropical storms consist of large wind fields driven by pressure gradients from a central low pressure and temperature gradients in the atmosphere. The winds from these events create storm surges by blowing the ocean water up against the coastline. Flooding results with a combination of a storm or tidal surge and high river stages from heavy rain. The severity of flooding is dependent upon the intensity of the storm event and its duration.

Forces due to wind, waves, and storm surge will directly impact the pier as it is located within the near-shore and surf zone areas. Longshore and cross-shore sediment transports are natural processes that occur at the project location. During storm events, cross-shore sediment transport rates are dominant, resulting in erosion as sand is deposited to offshore sandbars. The effects of this on the pier takes the form of scouring around the piles, with piles within the surf and swash zones being the most effected.

The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) P-55, Coastal Construction Manual, gives guidance on construction of residences in coastal areas. Though information pertaining directly to the design requirements of fishing piers is not provided, the content of the manual focusing on pile foundation design and the effects of and debris impact during storm events can be used in the design of the pile substructure. In general, the methods used to determine base flood elevations, wave heights and wave crest elevation, wave run-up, localized storm erosion, and impact loads can be used to determine conservative values for schematic design. These are found in Chapter 3 “Identifying Hazards” and Chapter 8 “Determining Site-Specific Loads”. Determination of the site-specific wave loads will be determined for the final design.

STORM LOAD CRITERIAWind load for the new pier shall be calculated based on the ASCE 7-10 standard utilizing Risk Category III and Exposure D. Dominant wind-generated wave heights and directions will be considered for design of the pier. Moffat and Nichol provided an Extreme Value Analysis of historical wind speeds from MacDill Air Force Base from 1941 through 2011, in their report entitled ‘St. Petersburg Pier Design competition Metocean and Structural Concept Level Design Basis’. It was reported the majority of wind comes from the East-North East with winds in excess of 30 mph occurring in some instance in all directions. This is attributable to the passing of hurricane or tropical storm events. Return periods for the 25, 50, and 100-year events found 10-minute winds speeds of 74, 83, and 92 mph, respectively. However, these values did not take into account wind direction and therefore the recurrence of directional extreme winds will be analyzed for the final design.

Waves found in Tampa Bay are either locally generated wind waves or offshore swells that enter the Bay from the inlets between Mullet, Egmont, Passage, and School Keys. Locally generated wind waves are the dominant waves that are expected to be found at the proposed pier location. Design wave heights will be calculated to include storm surge as this will occur during significant storm events.

WIND AND WAVE LOAD CRITERIA

Ardaman & Associates prepared a report, “Pier Development St. Petersburg, FL”, which assessed the geotechnical conditions and pier substructure in 1969. From conducting standard penetration borings, a general soil profile was interpreted and found to be uniform in texture and stratification. Terracon prepared a more recent report, “Geotechnical Engineering Report, The Lens, St. Petersburg, FL”, dated April 4, 2013 which assesses geotechnical conditions for design and construction of foundations for a new pier. These two site-specific geotechnical reports will be used for design of the proposed pier’s foundations.

The Florida Building Code stipulates that structures seaward of a coastal construction line (CCCL) need to respond to requirements for erosion, scour, and loads of a 100 year storm event including wind, wave, hydrostatic, and hydrodynamic forces acting simultaneously with dead and live loads. These requirements also indicate that all habitable major structures be elevated and anchored to an adequate pile foundation.

Although fishing piers are not considered to be a habitable major structure, their function is for human use. Chapter 62B-33, Florida Administrative Code (Rules and Procedures for Coastal Construction and Excavation) has specifically identified the minimum design storm event for pier construction. Rule 62B-33.007 (4) (k), Florida Administrative Codes states “Fishing or ocean piers or the extension of existing fishing or ocean piers shall be designed to withstand at a minimum the erosion, scour, and loads accompanying a 20 year storm event. Pier decking and rails may be designed to be an expendable

structure. Major structures constructed on the pier shall be design for the wind loads as set forth in the Florida Building Code. Pile foundations shall not obstruct the longshore sediment transport and shall be designed to minimize any impact to the shoreline or coastal processes.”

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires permits for construction seaward of the coastal construction control line and 50 foot setback. The general criteria for a coastal construction control line is described in the Florida State DEP 2012 Rules and Procedures for Coastal Construction and Excavation. “The beach and dune system is an integral part of the coastal system and represents one of the most valuable natural resources in Florida, providing protection to adjacent upland properties, recreational areas, and habitat for wildlife. A coastal construction control line is intended to define that portion of the beach and dune system which is subject to severe fluctuations caused by a 100 year storm surge, storm waves, or other forces such as wind, wave, or water level changes. These fluctuations are a necessary part of the natural functioning of the coastal system and are essential to post-storm recovery, long term stability, and the preservation of the beach and dune system. However, imprudent human activities can adversely interfere with these natural processes and alter the integrity and functioning of the beach and dune system. The control line and 50 foot setback call attention to the special hazards and impacts associated with the use of such property, but do not preclude all development or alteration of coastal property seaward of such lines.”

The proposed pier will be a pile supported structure designed to support loads similar to those of the existing pier. In the proposed design the pier approach and pier head are intended to be supported by circular 500 mm (19.7”) prestressed concrete spun-cast piles arranged in groups called bents. Pile bents for the pier approach are to be spaced at 60 feet on center and pile bents at the pier head are to be spaced at 30 feet on center. Select piles in each bent will be battered at approximately 15° to resist lateral forces. Further analysis will verify pile selection and pile layout for the pier.

The piles that will support the proposed pier must be engineered to withstand not only the dead and live loads of the pier but also the loads from hurricane winds, breaking waves, and lateral currents. Existing piles for current pier will not be used and new piles will be driven instead.

There are several pile type options that could be used to form the foundation of the pier, but circular prestressed concrete spun-cast piles have been chosen for the concept design. Concrete piles are reinforced to resist the bending moment developed during pickup and transportation, vertical load, and bending moment caused by lateral load. They can be subject to hard driving, can be easily combined with a concrete superstructure, and are corrosion resistant.

Pile caps will evenly distribute the concentrated loads from the superstructure of the pier to the supporting pile group. Orienting the caps transverse to the length of the

pier provides improved lateral stiffness for environmental forces experienced during hurricane and tropical storm events. Precast concrete pile caps expedite construction, but some conditions may dictate the use of formed and poured pile caps or that portions of precast pile caps be formed and poured. Formed and poured construction will be used for pile caps where alignment issues are a concern.

The deck of the pier approach and the sub-level of the pier head are to be constructed from a formed and poured concrete slab over concrete Florida I-Beams. The concrete Florida I-Beams are to bear on the concrete pile caps at each bent. The upper level of the pier head is to be constructed from a formed and poured concrete slab sitting directly on concrete piles and concrete columns. Consideration is being given to using precast plank with a topping slab in place of formed and poured slabs to expedite construction and to decrease construction costs.

GENERAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSThe project will be governed by many codes and standards as outlined below. The project shall have a design life of 75 years. The new pier shall be categorized as a Risk Category III structure.

Marine Engineering CriteriaMarine engineering codes governing the project include:

• Florida Building Code (2010) – Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) and Chapter 31 (Marine Structures)

OPPORTUNITIES

The Pier experience begins at Beach Drive and Bayshore Drive. We suggest an outline for the future Uplands Park that integrates seamlessly with the Spa Beach improvements, Spa Beach Grill, Ramp, and Pier Approach. The implementation of this part of the concept cannot be included in the current $33 million budget, but will need to come later using other funding sources.

Nonetheless, even if not accomplished immediately, the New Pier and Spa Beach design connects with the existing roadway, parking and sidewalks. However, we understand the new Downtown Waterfront Master Plan will be completed in the summer of 2015. Should our design be selected for development by the City, our team would be glad to work with the City to ensure the integration of Unity Pier and Spa Beach into the Downtown Waterfront Park System.

An existing precedent to illustrate programmatic intent.


OPPORTUNITIES

A large, oval, flexible Great Lawn could be created by redirecting vehicular traffic on 2nd Avenue North. This design provides an expanded, contiguous green space while also increasing safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

The Great Lawn is purposely unprogrammed to allow for spontaneous play. This exciting performance space is sloped at its southern end to expand Bay views, similar to Vinoy Park. It could be twice as large as the Demens Landing Event Lawn and provide another venue for downtown events. The design may be sized to accommodate events for up to 4,000 persons.

GREAT LAWN



OPPORTUNITIES

A large, modern, landscaped children’s playground north of the Great Lawn, featuring bermed “king-of-the-hill” mounds, slides, jungle gyms, a spray-grounds water feature, a “starter” rollerpark for young skateboarders and a variety of other children’s play equipment. This area could also, quite possibly, house . . . a permanent children’s merry-go-round or a temporary ferris wheel during special events.

PLAYGROUND

Located within the playground, a zero-depth, splash pad could provide a safe recreation area for water play. This splash pad could also provide an area to cool off on a hot day after a run or jog.

SPLASH PAD



OPPORTUNITIES

A small, floating, circular deck, located in the southeast corner of the Vinoy Basin, could provide a safe zone for children to launch model boats.

MODEL BOAT BASIN



OPPORTUNITIES

A space set aside for the proposed Tony Jannus Monument at the proposed round-a-bout south of the Great Lawn, near the original location of the Benoist Airplane Hangar and the Benoist School of Aviation.

JANNUS MONUMENT



OPPORTUNITIES

A modern pedestrian and bicycle bridge could connect Spa Beach and the Uplands Park to Vinoy Park. It could swing open for larger vessels needing clearance to enter the Vinoy basin. In its closed position it will provide vertical clearance for the majority of boats in Tampa Bay.

VINOY BRIDGE

St. Pete Design Group sketches for a swing-type bridge.

OPPORTUNITIES

An expanded boardwalk edging the beach and continuing around the perimeter of the South Vinoy Basin could provide a pathway for joggers, cyclists and pedestrians.

Dockage for luxury yachts and the proposed St. Petersburg - Tampa high-speed ferry could be provided at the Vinoy Basin along the south seawall.

BOARDWALK AND DOCKS



OPPORTUNITIES

The City provided open-air tram system could travel east-west along 2nd Avenue North from 2nd Street North at Sundial, through the Uplands Park to the Pier Head, with at the Museum of Fine Arts, the History Museum, the Activity Center, the Event Lawn, Spa Beach, midway along the bridge Approach and at the Pier Head.

A short bridge crossing the canal at the SW corner of the Vinoy Basin could facilitate stronger pedestrian connections to Bayshore Drive. At the Dolphin and Pelican parking lots, new reconfigured layouts could return existing asphalt paving to green space and landscaping. The lots would continue to service the History and Fine Arts Museums, Beach Drive, Spa Beach, and the Pier.

Expanded Cycling, walking and jogging paths throughout the new Uplands Park and continue westward back to Bayshore Drive could provide additional opportunities for residents and visitors to truly connect with downtown and the water.

TRANSPORTATION AND PATHWAYSAn existing precedent to illustrate programmatic intent.


OPPORTUNITIES

The new roof over the Inverted Pyramid Sky Deck could feature photovoltaic panels that convert the sun’s energy into electricity. This would significantly reduce facility operating cost. The 640 translucent photovoltaic panels shown in the upper left hand corner plan would each generate 195 watts to produce a total of 124,800 watts DC with a 125 KW DC rating. The power factor is 125 x 0.85 derate factor to equal 106.25 KW. The Power Factor = 1 so the 106.25 KW = 106.25 KVA. Power production annually would be 106 KW x 1.5 KW = 160,000 Kwh. This type of panel is more efficient than a typical installation as it takes advantage of both direct and reflected sunlight.

PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM

The St. Pete Design Group’s concept provides the perfect marriage of historic icon and modernized, functional pier; a pure, crystalline pyramid is surrounded by fun, contemporary elements and activities within multi-leveled layers of shade. Varied attractions that will keep residents and tourists coming back include a larger Spa Beach, multiple dining options, a children’s zone and a spectacular waterfall. Come fish, play, relax and remember. Discover the New St. Pete Pier.
