BOLTON & MENK Real People, Real Solutions. 2.5 Preliminary Cost Estimate Our team will develop a preliminary construction cost estimate that corresponds with the final geometric layout, including a detailed breakdown of the main dollar project quantity items and the required cost sharing for the proposed improvements. Our team has significant experience delivering Cooperative Agreement and Joint Powers projects with MnDOT, counties, and local agencies. 2.6 Preliminary Staging Plan Our team will develop various concept level staging alternatives that manage effective movement of roadway traffic while maintaining efficient progress throughout construction. Staging concepts will address traffic control needs for each stage of construction and include quantities and bid items for temporary staging estimates for concepts. We will also provide a conceptual construction staging schedule based on each of the concepts that are developed. 2.7 Official Map Our team will prepare an Official Map for the recommended corridor plan for purposes of preserving the right-of-way footprint for proposed improvements. A draft Official Map, in both paper and electronic form, will be presented to the city project manager and county surveyor for review and approval. We will incorporate requested changes from city staff and the county surveyor and prepare the final Official Map for approval. Following Official Map adoption, we will provide the necessary electronic and Mylar copies of the map to the county for recording purposes. Task 3: Communications The Bolton & Menk team will develop a strategic communications plan that lays out the timeline and tactical methods to cultivate project understanding and consensus that supports the vision for the Ramsey Highway 10 corridor. We will work with the project partners to craft a dynamic campaign that effectively informs, motivates, and moves to action many different groups. This type of effort requires an investment in tactical -level tools and methods. We suggest the following elements for successful communication for this project: • Project Branding (logo and consistent communications template) • Video Creation (both full and "bite -size" for media use) • Infographics/Visual Renderings • Print Communications (Newsletters/Press Releases) • Project Website (information hub) / Public Input Tool • Social Media 3.1 Project Videos We have found project videos to be a tactical tool in quickly communicating study details, consistent messaging, and maintaining momentum and enthusiasm for a project. Project videos used at public meetings allow detailed communication in a short amount of time and maintain focus of the group. Releasing project videos online allow clear and consistent messaging to a large audience that can be revisited throughout the life of the project. We will create 1 project video during Phase II capturing key milestones in the study's progression that align with the planned open houses as follows: 17
