PROJECT APPROACH Our team understands the importance of"place-making"and is committed to building on the existing strengths at Rivers Edge Commons Park. We have carefully selected individuals on our team with the experience,passion and desire to create lasting public facilities and spaces within the park. Our team has personal experience in the day to day functions at the park;from attending countless concerts to more casual strolls through the park,we understand what Rivers Edge Commons Park is today,how to best protect and build upon the characteristics of the park that work well today,and how to make it even better over time. With our team's inherent knowledge of the Park,and our recent experience with staff in developing the updated Master Plan,we can bring measurable results to this phase of the project from day one. Additionally,our team's institutional knowledge of the City process and what it means to bring planned projects through the review process in Elk River will mean that we can focus on the project vs.the process. The project represents an opportunity to make the Park an even more amazing destination for Elk River residents to enjoy for generations to come.Our approach to making Rivers Edge Commons Park unique, dynamic,and enduring will rely on the following approach: Project Work Plan Working closely with City staff,and in response to the requested tasks identified in the RFP,our team will provide the following professional services to accomplish the phase one expansion project: TASK 1 -DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Collaborate with the City to review the outcomes of the recently completed Concept Master 1.1 Topographic Survey and Plan and review and confirm all of the design ideas including but not limited to: basemap of the Phase 1 project area Integrate other additional project design ideas and information that has been 1.2 Definition of materials and Construction systems based developed by staff since the completion of the previous Master Plan. on the approved Concept Finalize the phase one project limits and conduct a site survey of the existing conditions Plan to be utilized as the base map for the proposed park changes.Preparation of a 1.3 Engineer preliminary storm drainage systems topographic map and as-built map will be part of the boundary survey. Procedures for incorporating best practices measurement of both horizontal and vertical positions will include use of GPS and a 1.4 Develop outline robotic total station.

This plan set will provide a guide to construction Rec Commission(90%) 1.6 Prepare progress reports for systems and materials options and will be critical in establishing more refined cost staff estimates and the approach to project implementation. The review process for the design development set will include review by staff and the park commission at various stages of completion. For City staff,we propose two review meetings during the design development phase(60%and 100%). The review meetings will focus on design options and alternatives for the basic construction systems and materials being proposed for the project. This design process is critical to coordinating the project and to develop design solutions that align project goals with budgets,phasing requirements,and City expectations.
