Staff will utilize one/ more of the following funding sources: <br />- -The COR TIF District <br />- -TIF District 1 <br />- -EDA Marketing Line Item <br />- -PIR Fund <br />Recommendation: <br />Bolton & Menk has provided the City of Ramsey with similar services in the past, for the new Ramsey Business <br />park. At that time, staff did a competitive RFP process, and selected Bolton & Menk, based on quality of services/ <br />competitive pricing. <br />Considering Bolton & Menk's track record of helping staff successfully with similar projects (new business park), <br />the fact that Bolton & Menk has completed several recent projects in The COR/ is familiar with The COR (PSD <br />projects, Inland/ Affinity project), and that Bolton & Menk is a Ramsey business, staff is comfortable <br />recommending Bolton & Menk be awarded this work order. <br />Staff would note, the Parks Commission will be considering a separate work order, from a landscape architect, to <br />complete concept level planning for the lake Ramsey area (located in The COR). Moving the attached Bolton & <br />Menk work order forward now will allow both studies (infrastructure and parks) to be completed at the same time, <br />and will allow them to "talk -to -each -other" and be more cohesive/ effective. <br />Alternative: If the PW Committee prefers to complete a formal RFP process, staff will bring back a RFP <br />document for approval in December (proposals would be received in January). A contract would be approved <br />in January/ February. This would add about 45-60 days to the process. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend the City Council: <br />Authorize the attached Bolton & Menk Work Order, not to exceed $25,384, to complete concept designs and <br />feasibility reports for all remaining public infrastructure needed in The COR. <br />Attachments <br />B&M Work Order (new, this case) <br />B&M Work Order (old, already approved, Inland Group) <br />REF Map <br />EDA Work Plan <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 11/16/2017 02:07 PM <br />Form Started By: Patrick Brama Started On: 11/10/2017 01:24 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 11/16/2017 <br />
