We've assembled the team of AE2S, Oertel Architects, SRF, and Design Tree (and will also be partnering with Total Control Systems), to bring your vision to reality. By selecting this team, Ramsey will realize the following benefits: • Operationally Friendly, Maintainable, Complaint Mitigating Water Treatment Plant. Your staff has a lot on their plates. You need an "Easy Button" WTP that is: operationally friendly, easy to maintain, and designed to progressively dial down water quality complaints. Upon receiving Ramsey's RFP, AE2S immediately took action: 1) testing all wells that will feed the plant; 2) identifying key parameters and opportunities to mitigate future operational issues, compliance issues, and complaints; 3) reaching out to Total Control Systems to establish a partnering agreement; and 4) developing a plan to deliver you an "Easy Button" WTP. Our team's collaboration with your staff, experience in WTP design, successful optimization of hundreds of plants, and successful history of working with Total Control Systems will all be harnessed to deliver a SIMPLIFIED water plant that maximizes your ability to serve Ramsey. • Architecturally Integrated, Efficient, Accommodating Campus. Our team has unmatched insights into the City's vision for the campus through Oertel and SRF's experience designing the Public Works Facility. We're ready to hit the ground running! We're so excited, in fact, that we have already begun developing an architectural model of the future plant, as well as a plant -layout visualization tool that can be used to facilitate input and understanding during Workgroup Meetings. Our team's insight, passion, and collaborative Workgroup Meeting Approach will deliver a truly INTEGRATED, efficient, and accommodating overall campus. • Informed, Equipped and Empowered Operators. Start-up, training, and ongoing optimization is the fun part; we begin with that end in mind. As passionate industry leaders in optimization and training, we will empower your operators personally and connect them with key organizations, vendors, and operators in our area/industry so they are SUPPORTED with the resources they need to be successful for years to come. We are excited to work with you on this project! Should you have any additional questions, please contact me at 763-463-5036 or on my cell phone at 763-406-6940.
