Dan Saplis, Incorporated has submitted a preliminary plat along with grading and utility plans for review by the City. Discussion: Preliminary Report - The first step in a public improvement process is the preparation of a preliminary engineering report. It is recommended that the preliminary report be ordered at this time to determine the need and feasibility, both physical and economic, of providing the necessary public improvements. On January 24, 2006, City Staff met with the Dan Saplis, the developer of Hidden Hollow South. At that time, the developer submitted an executed petition for public improvement. The developer also submitted the necessary financial security with this petition to ensure that the City will be reimbursed for fees associated with creating the report. Consultant Selection – There are several engineering consultants within the City’s “consultant pool” from whom services could be obtained. Staff recommends that the Council retain the services of the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates (BRAA) to assist in the preparation of the preliminary engineering report and other aspects of this project, as directed by City Council. It should be noted that BRAA was the consultant for the Hidden Hollow Street and Utility Installation Project.
