with the City's staff from Public Works and seek input from staff in other departments, including Community Development, Parks & Recreation, and Finance. Understanding the desired outcomes of each department that plays a role in surface water management will help us develop a tool that positions the City to achieve your desired outcome. Our approach is to have Ron Leaf and Rebecca Nestingen as our key staff who will essentially co -lead this work. Both have worked on a number of local surface water management plan updates, including Roseville's most recent plan update. Ron will serve as the overall project manager, responsible for keeping the project on time and within budget. Rebecca will lead the day-to-day plan development process and brings her technical expertise in water quality and volume control standards to the team. This co -lead team approach gives you the greater value, as it positions our team to better hear and interpret input, to be more responsive to requests, and to complete the work on time within budget. 2. Our proposed scope of work for each of theta sks outlined in the request for propose Is ( REP) -The second aspect of our approach is to keep the "end in mind" as we work through each task. This Plan will be more than a planning document; it will be a multi-purpose tool guiding implementation. The update to the Plan will identify the unresolved issues as well as new emerging issues, consolidate into one document the issues identified by the watershed district plans that are applicable to Roseville, and incorporate new and innovative ideas. The following pages provide more detail on the second part of our approach, the "what we will do" or scope of work for each of the tasks identified in the RFP. Project Tasks Task 1: Coordination with City Staff and Review Agencies Our team's primary objective at the kick-off meeting will be to hear from City staff what about defines a successful project and to clearly define the specific desired outcomes of the Plan update. This meeting will also include refinement of the project schedule with strategic interim deliverable deadlines and will begin to fine-tune the details of the public involvement approach. Based on our past experience on local comprehensive surface water management plans, we have developed a strategy that involves collaboration with review agencies at the onset oft he project. The objective of the early involvement with a representative from each of the three local watershed districts and the Metropolitan Council is to clarify local watershed rules and their plan requirements fort he City's Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSW MP). The SEH team has found that a matrix of the federal, state and local watershed rules is valuable for complying with the standards and plan content requirements of each agency and developing City updates from this common base. One example of how we will approach the agency coordination will be to further align the water resources CID to other City projects such as street reconstruction projects or Park improvement projects. While this approach was discussed extensively during the 2012-2013 planning process, we believe we can help Roseville take this to the next level as we have done in the following examples: Our team's primary objective at the kick- off meeting will be to hear from City staff what about defines a successful project and to clearly define the specific desired outcomes of the Plan update.
