These improvements include the KCI office/warehouse to be located on Lot 3, Block 1, Oakridge Industrial Park, and three developments all proposed to be all located south of McKinley Street in the Business Park 95 Fourth Addition. These site plans include: Amcon-West, a multi-tenant office building; Precision Wood Products, an office and manufacturing facility; and a multi-tenant office building for Point Investments. In order to facilitate the development of KCI, Inc. in Oakridge Industrial Park, the street improvements and storm sewer must be installed (the sanitary sewer and water are currently in place). Street and utility improvements are currently in place for the Business Park 95 improvements; however, an additional storm sewer will need to be installed along the north side of the railroad to transmit runoff to the regional detention pond located on the Ramsey-Anoka border. In the past, we have selected qualified consultants based upon economic consideration. In 1996, the City had similar work done by three engineering firms. All of these firms performed satisfactorily. These firms are: John Oliver Associates - In 1996, this firm did the design and project inspections for the Fox Knoll 2nd Addition and eventually is performing the inspection work for the extension of McKinley Street to the Commercial Asphalt property. Hakanson Anderson Associates - In 1996, this firm did the sewer and water extensions associated with Sunwood East and Sunwood West projects. This firm also did design and project inspection for the Brandseth Addition. MSA, Inc. - In 1996, this firm did the design and project inspection for the McKinley - East water and street extension. Recommendation: It is Staff's recommendation that a Request for Proposal be sent to three engineering consultants, including (1) John Oliver Associates, (2) Hakanson Anderson Associates, and (3) MSA, Inc. The proposal should request an hourly rate with a not-to-exceed maximum amount for basic engineering services and that selection and award be based on that basis.
