For the next ten years, the Plan will help the City comply with regulations and protect its many water resources. WSB & Associates is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional engineering services to update the City of Centerville Surface Water Management Plan. We are excited about the opportunity to provide the City with a customized plan that is straightforward and easy to implement. We believe that WSB is the right firm to update the City's Surface Water Management Plan for the following reasons: • Building Strong Relationships - WSB understands the importance of relationships between the City and neighboring communities, the Rice Creek Watershed District, and other agencies. Our proposed framework will build on the strengths of the City of Centerville, neighboring communities, the Rice Creek Watershed District, and other agencies to achieve the goals of the City. • Unparalleled Surface Water Management Expertise and Experience - Staff members at WSB have completed surface water management plans and watershed management plans for public entities similar to the City of Centerville for over 28 years, and many members of our team have worked together for more than 13 years completing many of these plans. This allows the WSB team to understand the City's needs, anticipate issues within the City, move ahead productively, and update the plan in an efficient, cost effective manner. • Integration of Overlapping Regulatory Requirements into the Plan - WSB's staff has extensive knowledge of regulations that impact cities and watershed organizations, and knows what is necessary in order to develop an effective surface water management plan. The plan needs to be consistent with US EPA Clean Water Act as it relates to impaired waters, outstanding value resource waters, TMDLs, and anticipated future nondegradation standards. We will integrate all these requirements into one concise plan. • Commitment to Communication - Our project team is committed to listening to your concerns and working with you to develop solutions to meet your needs. • Provide a Clear, Easy to Implement and Understand Plan - Our staff has been developing, constantly refining, and updating the format of our plans over the past 28 years to make them clear, concise, and easy to implement. • Minneapolis • St. Cloud Equal Opportunity Employer 20
