This is a mistake...again from the City Manager's 2/5 report:
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
At the January 26, 2010 Commission Workshop, the City Commission discussed the
division of the Historic Resources Preservation Board from the Planning and Zoning
Board and requested that Staff present the item at a March Commission meeting.
Staff has begun the work to re-write the Historic Preservation Ordinance to amend
the Zoning Code and create the new board. Further updates will be reported as
further progress is made.

REG's renderings as included in the RFQ response re Casino building
This is Rick Gonzalez' firm. They worked on some projects while I was with the Mar-a-Lago Club and Trump International. He also did the Courthouse restoration in downtown West Palm Beach and the "Harriet" at City Place, among others.
Living Designs Group Renderings from RFQ Response
This is John Szerdi's firm, who did the EcoCentre building in downtown Lake Worth. The building will employ significant green building techniques.

More will come tomorrow...
One that jumps out to me so far in terms of design and historic preservation is the version presented by Beilinson/Gomez. It is very literal and includes actual elements of restoration, keeping the southern, two story part of the building intact design-wise. Then they recreate the original building in its former location - with a modern design device separating the two styles. It shows how the building progressed over time and the modern element is there as if to say they aren't trying to fool anyone. So far, this comes closest to being consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation.
Donaldson Group did not submit renderings with their RFQ...
...however they do have examples of previous work in the response.
Bessolo did not include renderings with their RFQ response...
...click here for their proposal. They do include pictures of previous projects.
Beach Casino RFQ Responses
I'm in the process of going through the responses. I'll be separating out the graphics from the packages and post them here. Be aware that these are highly conceptual and subject to change based upon Commission and resident input - at least one would hope. These will be put up in the order they appear on the city's website. Commentary on the proposals will come later.
