<br />46 Interviews were conducted by the review committee on Wednesday October 1, 2025. Each <br />47 of the firms provided a brief presentation and were interviewed by staff to clarify questions <br />48 about the proposals. Based on the interviews and the proposals, the top scoring firm that <br />49 staff recommends for selection is Kraus-Anderson. <br />50 <br />51 Their proposal documents that they have completed over 2,200 CmaR projects which <br />52 include over 40 public works projects similar to the Roseville project. Recent projects <br />53 include Cottage Grove Public Works, Rosemount Public Works and Police, Fairmount <br />54 Public Work Facility, and City of Oakdale Public Works. They also have experience with <br />55 license/passport centers and dance studios and have done over 20 similar projects. <br />56 Examples include the Washington County License Center, Monticello DMV Relocation, <br />57 Rochester North Service Center, Education Center and Chanhassen License <br />58 Center. <br />59 <br />60 The overall project team has extensive experience which was a clear step above the next <br />61 highest scoring firm. The project manager and the site superintendent who will be <br />62 assigned to this project both have over 10 years of experience and have done projects of <br />63 similar size and scope. <br />64 <br />65 Kraus-Anderson’s existing knowledge of the site, having been part of two architectural <br />66 studies including performing a facility condition assessment of the Maintenance Facility, is <br />67 a clear benefit to the project. They are familiar with construction issues that will be <br />68 challenging to keep the project moving forward on budget and on schedule. They <br />69 understand they need to keep City operations, including Parks and Recreation, Public <br />70 Works as well as PoliceF fire, License/Passport Center and the VFW, in operation during <br />71 construction. <br />72 <br />73 The cost of services and hours provided for the scope of work were about average for all <br />74 the firms that submitted. With the overall project team experience and familiarity with the <br />75 project overall, staff believes the cost of services is fair and the overall best value on the <br />76 project. <br />77 <br />78 The Civic Campus project is very challenging in that it is a phased project, includes re- <br />79 using portions of one building, has a very small site for construction, and city/private <br />80 operations need to always be ongoing throughout construction. The experience Kraus- <br />81 Anderson provides will be valuable to mitigate these risks. The estimated overall <br />82 construction budget is $59,000,000. Change orders of only 1% would equate to $590,000 <br />83 so hiring a firm that can best anticipate, manage, and mitigate risk ahead of time will be <br />84 crucial to effectively managing the project budget. <br />85 <br />86 The Kraus-Anderson team also includes Eden Resources, which will help with public <br />87 relations and community engagement. This is very key with this project as construction is <br />88 adjacent to residential properties, the VFW, the Oval/Skating Center, and Veterans Park. <br />89 The project will span three years of construction and be done in numerous phases so the <br />90 public using the facilities will need information on changing conditions. The Kraus-Anderson <br />91 proposal best understood the high need to engage/communicate with the public throughout <br />92 the project, which is an extremely important value of the City. <br />93 <br />94 Below is the summary of the scoring of the RFP criteria (firms that were not interviewed <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />Qbhf!28:!pg!:15 <br /> <br />
