Communities seek HKGi because of our ability to listen, work <br />collaboratively, and creatively address complex issues. As identified in the included <br />Firm Profile and further described on our services overview pages, HKGi is able to <br />provide a wide range of services to meet the needs of the City of Ramsey. <br />We currently provide planning support services similar to what you have identified <br />for the City of Mound (20+ years). We also serve as the primary planning staff for <br />the cities of Greenfield (18 years) and Medicine Lake (14 years). In addition, over <br />the years we have provided transitional planning services for communities such as <br />Rogers, Hassan, Chanhassen, Faribault, Farmington, Hopkins, Hastings, Inver Grove <br />Heights, Moorhead, and Wayzata. <br />On a day to day basis, Jeff Miller will be the Project Manager, responsible for <br />coordinating and leading all land use planning and zoning administration <br />services. Jeff has experience as a city planner (Chaska) and providing consultant <br />planning services to communities (Mound, Rogers) while at HKGi. Rita Trapp, who <br />is the Project Manager for the City of Mound and assistant planner for the City of <br />Greenfield, will assist as needed to provide additional development review capacity. <br />Other staff that we anticipate would assist with specific projects include Planner <br />Chrissy Lee and Landscape Architect Jeff McMenimen. Information is also provided <br />for Landscape Architects Paul Paige and Amy Bower, both of whom offer streetscape <br />and parks expertise. <br />A copy of our typical Contract for Planning Services has been provided. If additional <br />components are needed to meet City requirements, please let us know. The specific <br />hourly rate would be $105 for Jeff and Rita. Attachment A provides our standard <br />hourly and reimbursable rates for other staff that may also assist with specific <br />projects. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to explore providing services to the City of Ramsey. If <br />you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give either Jeff or Rita a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jeff Miller, AICP <br />Planner <br />jmiller@hkgi.com 612-252-7123 <br />Rita Trapp, AICP <br />Planner <br />rita@hkgi.com 612-252-7135 <br />
