Project Understanding <br />Storm water retention ponds will be required to control the runoff from the study area in <br />accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan requirements. We will work with the <br />City to determine strom sewer piping and ponding needs for the entire area, including both public <br />and private land areas. <br />Right -of -Way Requirements <br />We will analyze all improvement area for Right of Way and easement requirements. While it is <br />anticipated that most of the improvements will be development driven, and Right of Way secured <br />through the platting process, understanding and documenting the needs will be critical. The City <br />can then provide that documentation to developers as they begin to consider options within the <br />study area. <br />Phased Improvements <br />While there is a general understanding of the improvements required to ultimately serve the <br />area, sequencing of the improvements will need to be considered. We will work with the City to <br />develop useable information to allow for the consideration of phased improvements. This could <br />include widening Bunker Lake Boulevard as the next phase of improvements, while Puma Street <br />improvements could occur in future phases. Costs for each phase will be developed to allow for <br />the City to plan for the sequenced implementation of the improvements. <br />Regional Storm Water Management Plan <br />While requested as an additional service item in the Request for Quotes, we recommend <br />proceeding with the regional storm water analysis at this time. With Lake Itasca and the golf <br />course located immediately west of the study area, there is limited space available in the upstream <br />end of the watershed. Immediately downstream lies the COR area of Ramsey. Any improvements <br />to this area will need to consider not only site drainage, but conveyance, storage and maintenance <br />of storm water on a more regional basis. <br />In 2010, Botlon & Menk assisted the City in developing a Surface Water Management Plan <br />(SWMP), Wetland Management Plan, and associated regional stormwater modeling. The regional <br />modeling included subcatchment runoff, surface storage volume, culvert crossing and storm sewer, <br />and overland flow routing calculations through the Lake Itasca watershed and the future business/ <br />residential park. The City can rely on our extensive knowledge of the local drainage patterns <br />and wetland system to develop stormwater management concepts that function organically as <br />development occurs. <br />Future Business Park RFQ I City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />
