IrI <br />QERTEL <br />ARCHITECTS <br />January 10, 2020 <br />City of Ramsey <br />Mr. Grant Riemer, Public Works Superintendent <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />RE: ARCHITECTURAUENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF <br />RAMSEY PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY <br />Dear Mr. Riemer and Evaluation Committee, <br />Oertel Architects and our team of consultants are very happy to present our proposal for the design and <br />construction of Ramsey's new full -service Public Works Facility. We feel that our experience and passion for <br />this project type will become very evident to you as you review this proposal. <br />We would also like to thank you for your time in meeting with us to review your current operations and <br />discussing the anticipated project scope. In this proposal, we will address some of our initial preconceptions <br />and observations on your project, address opportunities and challenges, and present previous projects that <br />will demonstrate the possibilities and lessons learned for your project. In addition, we have provided a list of <br />references that we encourage you to contact and discuss our previous work experience. <br />Renovation and relocation projects can be a challenging venture. Your study executed in 2015 provided <br />some insight into these aspects. Now, with the implementation of the actual construction project with a <br />faster than typical design timeline, it will be extremely critical that this previous work effort is thoroughly <br />reviewed, confirmed, and/or augmented to meet budgetary constraints and constructability efforts. During <br />this process we will rely on our critical eye for public works operations, our cooperative experience working <br />with Construction Managers during the preconstruction process, and our up -front and honest nature with <br />our clients. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to present our qualifications and want to congratulate you on moving forward <br />with a much -needed building project that will provide the public works department a new home long into the <br />future. <br />Sincerely, <br />Andrew Cooper, AIA, Principal <br />Cover Letter <br />CONTACT INFORMATION: <br />Andrew Cooper, AIA <br />1795 St. Clair Avenue <br />St. Paul, MN 55105 <br />p: (651) 696-5186 ext. 313 <br />acooper@oertelarchitects.com <br />
