February 17, 2017 Jim Taylor, Parks Superintendent City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 651-792-7107 1716 MARION PARK CONCEPT DESIGN AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS PROPOSAL FOR SERVICES Dear Jim: Thank you for sending the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 1716 Marion site. We are pleased to provide our proposal for this park planning effort. Included in this proposal are coordination with City staff, facilitation of a public engagement process, concept and schematic design, budget estimation, and final presentations of proposed plan to the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council. This is a very similar process to what we propose for the 2132 Cleveland site and we hope to find efficiency and synergy by working with you on both simultaneously. I look forward to working with you to refine this proposal to better meet your needs. SCOPE OF SERVICES Coordinate Planning efforts in concert with Roseville Parks and Recreation Staff LHB will work closely with you throughout this process to ensure that we meet your goals. We will conduct a “Focus” (kick-off) meeting and provide regular check-ins and updates on project process, schedule, and budget. The “Focus” meeting will include a team site visit and review of existing conditions. The City will provide the following: Availability and location for the “Focus” and other team meetings Attendance and participation in team meetings Available surveys and base site information for the site Meetings and deliverables will include: Meeting agendas, notes/summaries Plan and photo summary of existing site conditions Facilitate public meetings to obtain residents wants and desires for their park Together, we will plan, develop materials for, and conduct three public meetings. We understand that community engagement in this area will require a creative and collaborative approach. We look forward to working with staff to develop the approach in more detail, but currently anticipate that we will need to work directly with local community leaders, perhaps based on existing relationships with the Karen and other community groups and both the Human Rights and Community Engagement commissions, to reach as many people as possible. We also hope to conduct meetings as close to community members as possible (perhaps on site in the park property) or work with Roseville to plan to provide transportation to the meeting site. We are also involved in the Roseville2040 Comprehensive Plan Update process and see opportunities
