The park is well <br /> loved and well used. The initial project has done what was intended;bringing people to <br /> the downtown,connecting them to the riverfront,and providing a spectacular venue for <br /> the popular summer concert series. <br /> HKGi is very proud of how the original park plan has been accepted by the City and <br /> COLLABORATE specifically how well the project has brought energy to the historic downtown. Whether <br /> it is the large concert events that fill downtown on Thursdays in the summer,or the days <br /> LISTEN when the kids take over the fountain,the park has brought joy and fun to many people. <br /> Being invited to potentially participate in the next chapter of the park story is very <br /> EXPLORE gratifying and represents something we strive to do as a company: build and strengthen <br /> relationships with Cities by providing relevant and tangible design solutions to key public <br /> CREATE spaces. <br /> To supplement our team we have added BKBM for the Civil and Structural Engineering <br /> tasks and Oliver and Associates for the surveying tasks. Together we will provide all of the <br /> expertise necessary to successfully lead the implementation of the phase one expansion <br /> project. <br /> We thank you for the opportunity to compete for such an important community project. <br /> Please contact me directly at 612.940.5285 or paul@hkgi.com if you have any additional <br /> questions. <br /> HKGi believes that design,when <br /> inspired by the character of the Sincerely, <br /> people and the land,can create a <br /> unique and identifiable sense of <br /> community. <br /> Paul Paige,PLA <br /> President and Project Manager <br /> ppaige@hkgi.com 612-252-7125 <br /> RIVERS EDGE COMMONS EXPANSION PROPOSAL 1 <br />
