<br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated staff will also cut back vegetation in the northwest <br />corner of the intersection to increase visibility. <br /> <br />5.03: Consider Public Infrastructure Feasibility Study for The COR <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Brama reviewed the staff report and Bolton & Menk work <br />order to provide concept level plans and a feasibility report for all remaining needed public <br />infrastructure in The COR. This work order is consistent with the City of Ramsey EDA Work <br />Plan, Tactic/Strategy #2, and approved by the EDA/City Council for the Inland Group/Affinity <br />apartment project. <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Brama explained that Bolton & Menk has provide the City of <br />Ramsey with similar services in the past for the new Ramsey Business Park and was selected at <br />that time, through a competitive RFP process based on quality of services and competitive <br />pricing. Staff is comfortable recommending Bolton & Menk for this work order based on their <br />track record of helping staff successfully with similar projects, they are familiar with and have <br />completed several recent projects in The COR, and are a Ramsey business. <br /> <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Brama stated the EDA supported moving this forward to the <br />Public Works Committee. He noted this effort works in conjunction with the COR system plans <br />parking ramp analysis, to assure it is ready to go from a redevelopment perspective. This would <br />be one component as well as a concept plan for the Lake Ramsey area so the Park and Recreation <br />Commission will be considering a separate work order from a landscape architect to complete <br />concept level planning for the Lake Ramsey area and moving this work order forward will allow <br />both studies (infrastructure and parks) to be completed at the same time, making them more <br />cohesive and effective. He stated in December, the Council will see that Parks work order come <br />forward along with this work order. <br /> <br />Councilmember Johns agreed it makes sense to do this. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley stated at EDA, high-level planning was done before and this would fill in that <br />plan with more detail. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to recommend that the <br />City Council authorize the Bolton & Menk work order, not to exceed $25,384, to complete <br />concept designs and feasibility reports for all remaining public infrastructure needed in The <br />COR. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Johns and Shryock. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />5.04: Consider Recommending City Council Approval of September 2017 Comprehensive <br />Sanitary Sewer Study Update <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / November 21, 2017 <br />Page 7 of 15 <br /> <br />
