Proiect Title: The Sound Acoustic Study
Background:
On December 2, 2022, the City released RFP #13-23 to solicit a proposal from a qualified noise
consultant that could perform a noise analysis to evaluate and predict the impact of The Sound
on downtown and surrounding areas. The noise analysis will identify noise contours downtown
and in areas surrounding The Sound to develop standards for managing noise in a mixed-use
environment.
Scope, Cost, and Schedule of Services:
Siebein Associates, Inc., in partnership with the University of Florida (Soundscape Team)
proposes to conduct a soundscape study in response to City of Clearwater RFP #13-23 for the
City of Clearwater. The Soundscape Team will analyze noise and sound in the Imagine
Clearwater area and will propose strategies toward adopting standards for mapping and
measuring sound; and offer strategies for detecting and enforcing violations of reasonable
maximum permissible sound limits. The Team will also proactively develop recommendations
for plans, approval processes, and construction methods, suited to the sonic characteristics of the
different areas of the Imagine Clearwater project area that can be applied to the City at large. The
great diversity of urban and suburban communities within the City of Clearwater suggests a
strategic approach to identify a range of urban conditions that represents the larger City of
Clearwater, a prioritization of those areas to be determined, and a phased approach to the
mapping, measurement, analysis, and subsequent noise control strategies. We propose, over the
course of an estimated six months to work with city staff, and stakeholders selected by the City
to identify critical areas in the vicinity of the Imagine Clearwater project, prioritize those areas
for study, conduct a pilot study in the Imagine Clearwater study area, deploy and assess the
methodology of analysis, evaluate the results for refinement, and then initiate a broader set of
studies in the Imagine Clearwater study area.
The following page outlines the tasks to be performed and the associated costs.
