Because this study will set the framework for the future of your facility, the City of Ramsey should select a consultant team who provides long-term solutions that are cost-effective, right -sized, flexible and meet your project schedule. In order to accomplish all of these requirements, Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH®) can offer the City of Ramsey the following: Water Industry Leaders. SEH is a regional leader in providing drinking water services. The individuals selected to lead this project have worked on numerous water treatment plant, water supply and water storage projects throughout Minnesota.

Miles Jensen, who will provide QA/QC and project oversight, has worked on more than 85 water treatment plant projChris and Miles Jensen have worked together for more than 16 years completing the design and construction of more than 15 water treatment plants. A Complete, Local SEH Team. SEH has assembled a team of technical experts who have worked successfully together on many water treatment plant projects throughout the region. The entire project team; from process engineers and architects, to electrical and mechanical engineers, are located in SEH's Minnesota offices. This not only provides us with an understanding of local issues and stakeholders, it also gives us the opportunity to provide quick response to your needs in a highly coordinated and cost effective manner. Funding, A good idea, without the financial means to make it come to life, will remain just another good idea. But when it comes to community and economic development, SEH can turn your ideas into reality. Our experts work with communities across Minnesota to provide solutions for their projects. To do this, we access a variety of federal, state and local funding sources; including grants, low -interest loans, state bonding bills and tax incentives.

Our financing staff has secured more than $100 million for communities in just the past 24 months. They apply knowledge of the funding agencies and their programs. Their experience includes securing state, federal and local funding for a variety of municipal projects from water and wastewater treatment plants, parks and trails, rehabilitating streets, industrial developments, to preserving historic buildings and structures.
