large, and representatives from Ramsey Boards and Commissions. Staff believes this will improve the effectiveness <br />of involvement and collaboration, where previous efforts have been less successful on this topic. <br />Resilient Communities Project (RCP) Implementation Strategies <br />The City has partnered with the University of Minnesota through its Resilient Communities Project (RCP). One of <br />the projects RCP worked on was Highway 10 planning and outreach. Staff will share multiple ideas that could be <br />good supplements to this effort. <br />Strategic Plan Initiative - Improve the Image of Highway 10 <br />Staff will also use this structure to supplement a parallel planning effort focused on future land use and <br />improvements to private properties. Staff has been directed by City Council to create a plan to improve the image of <br />Highway 10. The two topics are interrelated and can occur parallel to each other to avoid duplication. <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative 1: Recommend that the City Council authorize the Work Order as presented. <br />Alternative 2: Recommend that the City Council authorize the Work Order with changes. <br />Alternative 3: Recommend that the City Council authorize a competitive Request for Proposals process to allow <br />additional firms to propose a Work Order. <br />Alternative 4: Recommend that the City Council not proceed with the planning efforts for Highway 10. <br />Funding Source: <br />The funding source is the Public Improvements Revolving (PIR) Fund. The scope of work is $499,955. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends proceeding forward with the Work Order. Bolton and Menk was the engineer for the Highway <br />10 Access Planning Study (study area = City of Anoka and City of Ramsey). There are a number of efficiencies of <br />this firm proceeding forward with the work as opposed to bringing in a new firm. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council authorize the Work Order with Bolton and Menk for Highway 10 <br />Planning and Design Services in the amount of $499,855. <br />Attachments <br />Proposal <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Patrick Brama Patrick Brama 01/11/2018 02:45 PM <br />Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 01/11/2018 03:01 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 01/11/2018 03:45 PM <br />Form Started By: Tim Gladhill Started On: 01/11/2018 12:43 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/11/2018 <br />
