<br />CASE # 1 <br /> <br />RECOMMEND CONSULTANT FOR SUNFISH LAKE CONCEPT PLANNING <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The purpose of this case is to recommend approval of a consultant to facilitate the concept <br />planning for the City owned land on the west side of Sunfish Lake. As the Commission may <br />recall, $30,000 is proposed within the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to provide for <br />planning expenses relating to this significant site. The funding source is the Park Trust Fund, <br />and-was approved by City Council in March of this year. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The area west of Sunfish Lake has been proposed for park purposes for almost two decades, <br />as one of the few lake accesses potentially available within Ramsey. Several years ago, the <br />City acquired this property as part of an industrial land purchase (south of Sunwood Drive <br />between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard). The proposed park space has <br />tremendous potential for serving neighborhood needs - as well as being a unique feature with <br />Ramsey's park system. <br /> <br />Earlier this year staff disseminated Requests For Proposals (RFP) to eight firms specializing <br />in this type of park planning. The critic of these documents is being completed and will be <br />reviewed with the Commission in detail at the meeting. Attached for your information, is <br />that RFP for referencing the scope of work involving the project; as well as the firms <br />referenced above. <br /> <br />~ <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />Based on discussion/Motion to recommend City Council approve the finn of for <br />park concept planning for the Sunfish Lake area at a not to exceed amount of $ <br />from the Park Trust Fund. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />P &R: 11/8/07 <br /> <br />f <br />~. <br />
