Phase 2 Community Engagement <br />As discussed with Owner, the following engagement formats (in person) may be selected to tailor scope <br />and fee: <br />2A. Pop -Up Engagement(s) <br />2B. Community Design Fair <br />2C. Community Alignment & Direction Workshop <br />2A. Pop-up Engagement(s) — 2 hours each - $2,500 per engagement <br />Architect facilitates conversations with community members across the City of Ramsey in <br />accessible, high -traffic settings such as local coffee shops, the Farmers Market, EDA Business <br />Expo, Food Truck Wednesdays, Ramsey Seniors Club events, athletic association events, and other <br />established community events. <br />These informal yet intentional engagements are designed to meet residents where they already <br />gather. Through guided prompts and brief interactive activities, participants are invited to share <br />how a new community center will feel welcoming, foster a sense of belonging, and positively <br />contribute to Ramsey's identity and daily life. <br />Participants engage in interactive ranked -choice exercises around potential programs and provide <br />feedback about their selections to Architect. Conversations may explore perceived opportunities, <br />potential barriers to support, and ideas for long-term community ownership. <br />2B. Community Design "Fair" - 4 hours - $8,500 <br />Architect facilitates a community -wide design conversation hosted at the new Splash Pad on July <br />9th or August 13th, creating an open and welcoming environment for broad public participation. <br />Envisioned as an interactive "design fair," multiple engagement stations are distributed throughout <br />the park to encourage conversation and hands-on involvement. <br />Each station focuses on collecting data regarding community programming preferences, with <br />station activities finalized prior to workshop. Data collected during the event is documented and <br />synthesized to inform programming decisions. <br />Ideas include: <br />• Ranked Choice exercise: Participants select top three program "must haves." Tokens will be <br />different colors and represent first, second, third choice. <br />• Dot -voting exercise: Participants "spend" up to 5 stickers on programming preferences. <br />Stickers could have different colors to represent different age bands (youth with one color / <br />adults with another color for example). <br />• Open Ended Question Stations: Participants write responses to questions regarding <br />programming activities and how the programs would strengthen feelings of belonging within <br />the City. <br />2C. Community Alignment & Direction Workshop — 2-4 hours - $12,500 <br />The Architect facilitates a workshop with up to 50 community leaders for a focused working session <br />to review and synthesize what has been learned from the various community engagement session(s) <br />to date. The presentation includes aggregated insights from all community engagement <br />conversations, survey, as well as a draft program scenarios representing common themes and <br />priorities heard. <br />Through facilitated discussion, the group identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats <br />related to the program options. The outcome of this session includes a documented framework that <br />
