The playground vendor thought the prices would be good for the same project by not <br />having it approved until January. <br /> <br />Note: Update on Master Trail Plan <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos passed out a memo on the Master Trail Plan. He recommended <br />that the City work with LHB Engineers and Architects on this plan. He explained that LHB <br />responded with the most Ramsey-specific language in their proposal. Their proposal addressed <br />aspects that Staff didn't discuss with them prior. He said the City will be pursuing grants. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos further noted that LHB mentioned the importance of obtaining <br />community buy-in and hit upon the issues that are the foremost of our understanding on these <br />projects. They had the most aggressive Commission workshop schedule. They mentioned <br />community participation, funding sources and political support in their proposal. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds agreed that LHB had the most comprehensive proposal because it dealt with <br />Ramsey's issues rather than just general issues concerning a trail plan. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos said that one of the proposals was very boilerplate. LHB <br />proposed changes in the table of contents if necessary and included comments in each aspect of <br />that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johns stated that LHB seemed the most aggressive in expressing how they were <br />going to obtain grant funding, etc. <br /> <br />Park and RecreatiOn Commission/December 13, 2001 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
