the City of Ramsey's municipal water supply system will continue to provide adequate quantities of safe drinking water into the foreseeable future. Final design work for the centralized water treatment facility, including pilot testing of preferred treatment processes, will be completed under separate contract following public review of and input on the preliminary design report that will be developed as part of the scope of services of the attached RFP. In summary, the City advertised the RFP on-line using QuestCDN, and published an ad in the City's official newspaper, the Anoka Union Herald, on August 16, 2019. Staff also directly submitted the RFP to eight consultants and received five proposals in return. The selection committee, which was composed of the City Administrator, the Public Works Superintendent, the Utilities Superintendent, and the City Engineer, selected three teams to interview. Based on the proposal team interviews, as well as the work plans and fees outlined in the three proposals, the selection committee is recommending City Council approval to enter into a contract with the team from SEH. In the end, the selection committee felt that any of the three teams interviewed could more than adequately provide the requested professional services. As such, the committee ultimately determined that the decision should reflect the best value for the City and SEH's proposed fees were the lowest by a significant margin. Attached is a tabulation of proposal fees for the five proposals received. Notification: No notifications are required for this item.
