Like you,Bolton&Menk,Inc.takes great pride in designing and managing projects that <br /> are safe, sustainable, and beautiful.We will make the City of Arden Hills'priorities our priorities.You can trust us to <br /> provide the skills and characteristics required to mitigate your risks and successfully complete your street and utility <br /> improvements project. <br /> Technical Leadership —The Hazelnut Park/Glenpaul Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvements project <br /> requires a range of services: feasibility study review, survey,design,public engagement, and construction <br /> administration.The city needs a consultant with the experience and expertise to manage all aspects of the project <br /> from the topographic survey,to neighborhood informational meetings,through final design and construction.We <br /> have successfully completed more than 40 street and utility projects in the metro area in the last five years. We are <br /> experts in resident outreach, stakeholder coordination, and mitigation of construction issues and we will make sure that <br /> miscommunication,lack of foresight, and costly mistakes don't happen. <br /> Fiscal Responsibility and Long-Term Value —While engineering fees are a small part of the total project cost, <br /> engineering design profoundly influences how projects are constructed,used, and maintained. With thoughtful and <br /> proactive engineering,Bolton&Menk has reduced risk, shortened project timelines,provided sustainable projects, and <br /> saved millions for our clients.We will use this same approach with the City of Arden Hills. <br /> Innovative Problem-Solving —We encourage creativity and functional innovation in every area—utility placement <br /> to traffic safety to public engagement. That means Arden Hills will benefit from our curiosity and tenacity to make <br /> things better. Proposing curb and gutter on roads that do not currently have curb and gutter can be more complicated <br /> than it looks on paper.Not only does the project team have to account for grade changes to make the curb and gutter <br /> fit into the existing roadway and with existing driveways,but there is typically some opposition from the public when <br /> making any changes to the roadway, even if they are of great benefit to the neighborhood.We are prepared to have <br /> those difficult conversations with the community if their perception of the project is not all positive. <br /> In continued service to the City of Arden Hills,we are excited at the opportunity to complete the 2021 Hazelnut Park/ <br /> Glenpaul Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvements project.I will serve as your lead client contact and project manager. <br /> Please contact me at 612-756-3427 or sarah.11oyd@bolton-menk.com if you have any questions regarding our proposal. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br /> (;�� 1� 0� Y <br /> SargeE.
