<br />City Council Regular Meeting - 04/24/06 <br />Minutes - Page 34 <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing declared the Steering Committee filled; and <br />thanked all applicants, encouraging their involvement in other <br />aspects of the community visioning process. <br /> <br />At the request of Mayor Klausing, Councilmember Pust <br />reviewed the next step in the process; with the Council Work <br />Group contacting the appointees to the steering committee for a <br />meeting time, and scheduling the community brainstorming <br />sessions at their earliest convenience, noting the tight timeframe. <br /> <br />11. <br /> <br />Award Community Visioning Consultant Contract <br />City Manager Beets reviewed the advertising process for the <br />Request for Proposals (RFP's) for the Community Visioning <br />Consultant Contract. Mr. Beets noted that only four proposals <br />had been returned; as copied and hand-delivered to the City <br />Council prior to tonight's meeting. City Manager Beets sought <br />Council direction as to which proposal to pursue, or any <br />additional information they needed prior to making that decision. <br />City Manager Beets noted the concern of several of the proposers <br />regarding the tight timeframe; and further noted extensions of <br />ideas or new ideas proposed by those companies submitting <br />proposals. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pust reviewed the four RFP's; noting her <br />surprise that only four were received. Councilmember Pust <br />provided her specific comment and opinions of the four RFP's, <br />and sought Council input as well. Councilmember Pust spoke in <br />support of two of the RFP's: that of Carroll, Franck and <br />Associates; and Neu and Company, with no disrespect to the <br />remaining two proposers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pust noted that Mobius didn't seem to be <br />specific to the needs of Roseville, but appeared to be a <br />resubmission of the St. Louis Park proposal; and noted their high <br />cost; and recommended that discussions be elilninated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pust also spoke to the proposal of the Springsted <br />Group, noting that the proposal contained good ideas, but <br />expressed disappointment in their high cost, and lack of specific <br />deliverables and cost breakdowns; making it difficult to compare <br />proposals. <br /> <br />Community <br />Visioning <br />Consultant <br />Contract <br />
