Mr. Jeremy Barnhart March 29, 2013 Page 2 redevelopment plans; and market research and analysis plans will ensure a successful partnership and an outstanding finished product. In addition, our experience working with the City of Elk River on the 171 st Avenue AUAR and the 2013 Street Improvement Project lends extensive background knowledge of the City and facilitated excellent working relationships with City staff, as well as appointed and elected officials. • We are committed to "finding a way." The WSB team is creative in finding solutions with a "can-do attitude." Our approach to developing projects focuses on determining how a project or a task can be completed, as opposed to why it cannot be done. We are confident that our client references can attest to this approach, and to the high-quality results of our mutually beneficial relationships. Because we have completed a number of similar plans and are already well versed on many facets of the City, we are fully aware of the number of hours and tasks needed to be completed. This level of experience will ensure that we are efficient and effective in our delivery. • We pride ourselves on delivering straightforward planning documents that lead to implementable project solutions. One of the hallmarks of an effective comprehensive planning document is one that is flexible enough to allow for developer creativity and yet delivers the appropriate framework and guidance for implementation. In other words, this document will not just be another plan that sits on the shelf collecting dust. We want this Plan to be a meaningful document that truly reflects the needs and vision of the community and provides practical guidance for how the City can attain its vision. • Unparalleled customer service. In times when cities are trying to do more with less, the WSB team has honed our skills to provide clients with outstanding customer service. Our staff will provide quick response to the City's requests, create a document that is easy to read and use, and shepherd the City through the Comprehensive Plan Update process without placing undue burden on already busy staff. We thank you for the opportunity to be considered for this important project, and look forward to your favorable consideration of our proposal and work plan. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Sincerely, WSB &Associates, inc.
