'..: "ATS&R's knowledge of ISO 11 facilities extends over 40 years of experience with our schools and our concerns; their consistency in delivering first class product is unsurpassed. ATS&R's extensive knowledge ...has saved our district time and money." Denny Carlson Superintendent of Schools Anoka.Hennepin Public School District ATS&R proposes to coordinate the design of the remodeled space with the City of Romsey and Anoka County representatives in a collaborative way of communications that will keep everyone informed and in agreement as the project moves forward. Initially, the process will start with identifying the City and County representatives, their responsibilities and needs. This will involve a smaller group of key decision-makers in the process. A larger group of staff may also be interviewed for gathering information. This I group may consist of a single representative or two from each party, the City of Ramsey represented by Heidi Nelson, Deputy City Administrator, and an intern, an Anoka County License Center or facilities management representative and ATS&R representatives Dan Moll, Project Architect, and Kim Sorenson, Interior Designer. We will meet individually and/or together, in an efficient use of everyone's time, to understand specific needs, engage the users of the spaces to gather information, look at examples, provide feedback on options, and generally review and comment on the work as we progress together as a team. It will be important collectively to resolve any conflicts or issues that might arise in the sharing of space in a single facility, discuss cost alternatives and their implications as well as work within the timelines identified for the work. Once a design is agreed upon, architectural documents for bidding will be prepared, confirming and finalizing the scope of the work and estimated cost. This will be approved prior to issuing for bids. During the bid period, ATS&R will answer requests for information, document any clarifications, conduct a pre-bid conference if desired, and assist in the evaluation of bids. During construction, ATS&R will provide project administration by responding to questions from the general contractor in a timely manner, reviewing the work for compliance with the design and construction document intent, reviewing changes to the work and pay applications, performing a final punch list for the certificate of substantial completion and participating in the closeout of the project. ATS&R will also provide for coordination with the City representative for relocation of staff and system furniture as included in the scope of work of the RFP. ATS&R has worked with Intereum and is familiar with their staff, product selections, and working requirements.
