(HKGi)is pleased to submit this proposal to continue our service to the City <br /> of Ramsey with the task of updating the Comprehensive Plan. In recent years, it has been our pleasure to <br /> serve the City on a variety of planning projects. In addition leading the process for the current Comprehensive <br /> Plan, HKGi has worked with Ramsey on the Highway 10 Corridor Study, a study of the fiscal impacts of <br /> development, the Town Center zoning ordinance, and the recently completed Central Rural Reserve Study. <br /> This experience gives HKGi a unique understanding of Ramsey that will be a valuable resource in updating <br /> the Comprehensive Plan. Since working on Ramsey's Comprehensive Plan, HKGi has been involved with <br /> many interesting and challenging community planning projects. This experience enhances our ability to serve <br /> you on this project. <br /> We have drawn on our experience in Ramsey and other communities to design an approach around the very <br /> unique factors that will shape the process of updating your Comprehensive Plan. This proposal complies with <br /> all aspects of the Request for Proposals with one exception. This proposal does not include services needed <br /> to update the City's transportation plan. We do not believe that all of the services requested by the City can <br /> be accomplished within the$70,000 budget allocated for the Comprehensive Plan Update. Our service to the <br /> City has always been based on candor and honesty. We cannot in good faith give you a proposal that we know <br /> if not meet your needs or expectations. The Project Approach section of this proposal provides a detailed <br /> explanation of the rationale for our scope of work. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal. Please let me know if you have questions or need any <br /> additional information. You can reach me at(612) 252-7133 or rusty@hkgi.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. <br /> 4t :-e)Ajki' <br /> l <br /> J.
