Observations/Alternatives: <br />Attached is a proposal from The Tinklenberg Group entitled Proposed Extension of the Ramsey US Trunk Highway <br />10 Improvement Development Plan, dated January, 2017. The proposal outlines a number of work plan elements to <br />be performed over the next twelve months and is intended to capitalize on the work previously performed and to <br />advance US Highway 10 improvements in accordance with the MNDOT plan. In addition, the plan acknowledges <br />working with all levels of government in order to continue a consistent message regarding the need for Highway 10 <br />improvements. <br />Funding Source: <br />The proposed fee is $3300 per month, the total for the 12-month contract being $39,600. Funds would come from <br />the City's Public Improvement Revolving Fund. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends consideration of the proposed contract extension with the Tinklenberg Group for 12-months <br />through June 30, 2018. <br />The alternative direction the Council may take include shortening the term of the contract, NOT to approve the <br />proposed contract, or seek other consultant proposals. Either of these alternative will result in a loss of momentum <br />toward the accomplishment of the stated goals. Consequently, continuation of the contract is recommended at this <br />time. <br />Action: <br />Motion approving the attached consulting services proposal with the The Tinklenberg Group for an additional <br />12-month contract to June 30, 2018. <br />Attachments <br />Tinklenberg2017 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kathy Schmitz 01/19/2017 04:20 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 01/19/2017 04:51 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 07/19/2017 04:00 PM <br />Form Started By: Jo Thieling Started On: 01/18/2017 11:25 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/19/2017 <br />
