We have chosen this <br />team intentionally based on their collective experience and expertise. We are confident that this team will <br />provide effective communication and innovative solutions which will deliver the successful completion of <br />this project. The WSB Team will provide the following benefits to the City: <br />Trusted & Experienced Team: WSB has successfully completed numerous advanced water treatment <br />plant projects throughout the Midwest. Our team has provided project management, design, bidding, and <br />construction services for 15 water treatment plants constructed in the Metropolitan area and 38 water <br />treatment plants in MN, WI, IA, and ND. In addition, our project manager has been involved in the design, <br />bidding, and construction of eight municipal water treatment plants in Minnesota over 6,000 gpm in <br />capacity in the past 15 years, more than any other project manager or engineering firm in Minnesota. The <br />city will receive the most experienced team for this major infrastructure project. <br />Funding Expertise: Obtaining funding for this major infrastructure project will be one of the most critical <br />factors when selecting the right consultant for the city. WSB has applied for funding and administering <br />grants and loans from the Public Facilities Authority, the Minnesota State Bonding Bill, and federal <br />earmarks. The city will greatly benefit from our extensive funding experience as we lead the process and <br />leave no stone unturned to pursue funding for your project. <br />Community Involvement & Clear Communicatior The city's proposed water treatment plant will likely be <br />one the most important projects to be planned and constructed in the City of Lino Lakes. This project will <br />require a firm that is highly experienced in community involvement to keep residents and business owners <br />up to date throughout the project. We excel in community involvement and have the experience needed <br />to effectively communicate with the public and provide concepts and ideas that will not only be accepted, <br />but also provide a sense of ownership and pride for the community. We will involve the community using a <br />mix of digital and traditional engagement methods such as project websites, visualizations, meetings, and <br />printed materials. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to provide our qualifications to the City of Lino Lakes for this project.
