We believe that we do it extremely well by being responsive and by providing superior service and excellent work products in a timely and cost-conscious manner We serve many communities that are of similar size and needs as the City of Ramsey. Therefore, we understand your expectations in regards to the basic services that your City Engineer should provide to you and your community. Specifically, you are looking for responsive, cost-conscious, timely and high quality municipal engineering services. Our approach to working with the City, its staff, its business and its citizens is to share the knowledge and experience that we have had in working with our client communities for many years. Our goal is to complement and supplement your staff to help them fulfill the needs and desires of your community by providing services and work products which exceed their expectations, are completed in a timely manner, and which reflect budgetary constraints. We see our firm and our staff as not only being an extension of your staff, but also bringing additional engineering and surveying expertise and experience to benefit your community.

Interim City Engineer The proposed Interim City Engineer, Shane Nelson, will be at City Hall 32 hours per week to work as directed by the City. Shane will effectively communicate with the City Council and staff to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of his role as the Interim City Engineer. Hakanson Anderson has worked with and for the City of Ramsey's staff, so the transition to Interim City Engineer will be as seamless and effective as possible. The other 8 hours of office staff time will be covered by Ron Wagner, the Principal - in -Charge. Ron is readily available at all times to assist Shane or Ramsey Staff on short notice. C. Project Management Our knowledgeable staff can assist the City with short and long term planning that will minimize the burden on the City's residents by providing the guidance and foresight necessary to assist the City in planning for future expenditures. We strongly believe in working at the direction of the City, and with the City's best interests always being our highest priority. We do not perform work for large jurisdictional agencies, which would from time to time require us to compromise the City's best interests. Our detailed invoices and unique project identification numbers will allow the City staff to easily identify development charges, reducing City staff time and ensuring that all development costs are properly allocated.
