It is our understanding that the City of Ramsey has identified <br />what the fire service needs and demands are and that Hoisington Koegler Group is only <br />completing the site selection portion of this project. The following would generally include our <br />scope of service for fire station site selection: <br /> <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> <br />Task I-Data Collection <br />This task involves collecting pertinent information to be used in selecting appropriate locations. <br />Much of this data has already been collected and/or will be provided by City staff. This data <br />would include such things as where volunteers live (and the demand for volunteers), data on fire <br />insurance ratings and where most calls come from, information on existing fire station, <br />equipment and services, current response times, and any shared services with neighboring <br />communities. <br /> <br />Task 2-Determining Key Objectives <br />A critical step prior to searching for fire station sites, is to identify the key objectives or desired <br />goals to achieve in siting future stations. (for example a goal could be to service X% of the <br />community with a response time of X or less minutes.) It is our understanding that the City will <br />provide critical input to this task. <br /> <br />Task 3-Establishing Criteria <br />In order to guide the selection process, criteria for site selection must be established. These <br />criteria should also be prioritized so that multiple sites can be ranked and the City can choose the <br />most optimal site based on ranking of criteria. <br /> <br />Task 4-Accuracy Check <br />One meeting with City Staff and stakeholders is needed to make sure the goals and criteria are <br />appropriate to the needs and desires of siting a future fire station in the City of Ramsey. At this <br />meeting we would intend to agree to move forward with the site selection process. <br /> <br />Task 5-GIS Modeling <br /> <br />Page 1 of2 <br />Site Selection Proposal-city of Ramsey <br />
