Stantec Consulting Services Inc. <br />Stantec 2335 Highway 36 West„ St. Paul MN 55113-3819 <br />March 20, 2017 <br />Attention: Mike Ericson, City Administrator <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN <br />55038 <br />Dear Mike and Centerville City Council, <br />Reference: Centerville Comprehensive Plan <br />Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal to assist Centerville with an update to your <br />Comprehensive Plan. It has been our privilege to assist well over 100 communities with the <br />preparation and implementation of their comprehensive plans. This has been a core part of our <br />professional practice for nearly four decades and we have a deep appreciation for the <br />importance of these plans in setting the foundation for a community's future growth and land use <br />decisions. We are passionate about the work it takes to formulate an insightful and strategic <br />comprehensive plan. <br />Stantec is proud if its history serving Centerville and we are committed to performing this update in <br />a timely and efficient manner. We understand that the City has received a grant from the <br />Metropolitan Council for mapping assistance and we will incorporate those information sources <br />into our process. Wherever possible, we will use existing resources and mapping tools already <br />available. We will work closely with City staff and the Planning Intern when possible to conduct <br />research and information gathering. We will ensure that staff has up-to-date information on the <br />plan's progress that can be shared with the City Council at regular intervals and with the general <br />public. <br />Attached to this letter are a quote for our services, estimated timeline, and resumes of each team <br />member who will be working on the plan. Below is an overview of tasks noted in our scope. <br />Scope of Services <br />1. Kickoff and Goals <br />This phase sets the foundation for our efforts on this plan. We will attend one kick-off <br />meeting with staff, facilitate a plan orientation/issues discussion workshop with the Planning <br />Commission and City Council, and present draft goals to the City Council during this phase <br />of the plan. <br />2. Land Use <br />We will update the City's land use chapter. As part of this task, we will interview owners of <br />large vacant or agricultural properties to inform potential future land use in the City. This will <br />include an updated future land use map, redevelopment areas, employment locations, <br />Design with community in mind <br />
