STATE'.dENT oF LimiEnSTANDING
We are confident that. we can take the lead in the
development of a significant park environment to
enmplement the image and sense of place Mounds View
has created for itself. We feel that the landscape
architectural, urban design, architectural, and
graphics disciplines within Design Consortium can play
a valuable role with respect to the preparation of an
exciting and workable open space within an established
comprehensive parks system.
Working Relationship The approach we suggest will provide a vehicle and
methodology for participation by the city and local
community representatives in the decision making process
related to design controls. Working closely with a
Design Consortium principal, the City, Community and
commission will be able to offer helpful input and
guidance. This will result in the development of a
sensitive, functional, and feasible product. Design
Consortium's primary role will be to prepare a flexible
design within which design -related decisions can be
made and by which an assessment of future development
can occur. .
The principals within Design Consortium function as a
multi -disciplinary group with proven experience in
achieving high quality work with citizen groups,
private businesses, public agencies and institutions.
Development of Silver View Park will require a compre-
hensive design framework which is the sum of its parts.,
There are a variety of considerations to be addressed.
It is imperitive that any future development reflect
a familiarity with aesthetic and technical requirements
and that any construction meet established objectives.
..
Design Consortium understands that the scope of
services to be performed in Phasc one is to be
prepared as three basic tasks:
WORK TASKS Task 1. Design and development of a comprehensive
Park concept for Silver View Park
Task 2. preparation of construction documents and
specifications associated with the items
identified as BIa (Did proposal, page 2.)
Task 3. supervision/construction management of
Phase one development.
RELATIONSHIPS The City of Mounds View will designate one repre-
sentative who will act as the client/consultant
liaison through whom all contacts will be made.
Design Consortium would like to emphasize the point
that it perceives the entire Community as the client
and as such would suggest that the project be handled
on a "pyramid basis". This "Pyramid" concept will be
detailed in the public participation section of this
proposal.
The Consultant Counterpart of Mounds View's
"Representative" will be Damon Farber, as landscape
architectural principal with Design Consortium.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION our role is to be an objective participant in the
design process. We believe that we can establish a
good relationship with the Community. Ideally projects
should meet the expectations of all participants. This
will best be achieved through a mutual willingness on
the part of the site Planner, the Owner, and the User
to become part of the same design team.
one of the more significant aspects of coordinating
an effective project is the inclusion of those groups
and personalities upon whom the project will impact.
Part of our role will be to assist the City of Mounds
View in its public participation program.
... .... ....
"PYRAMID" CONCEPT Because of the very tight schedule we anticipate as
necessary to prepare design working drawings and
specifications fur a summer construction start, we
propose a public involvement and review program which
utilizes the "pyramid" concept. This concept allows
for the broadest possible input of any interested parties
early in the project with diminishing involvement as the
alternative design concepts evolve to refined design to
construction documents to implementation. while input
at all levels can be a valuable working tool, it should
be emphasized that formal decisions will be made in
a logical and rational manner between the landscape
architectural designer and the Parks and Recreation
Department Director/staff.
The following steps for citizen involvement is
similar to that which Design Consortium will be
utilizing in the design and development of three
neighborhood parks for the City of Plymouth.
1. Establish a basic program with the Parks and
Recreation Commission, staff and consultant
working together.
2. Immediately upon selection of a consultant,
prepare (with that consultant) a questionnaire
which reflects the considerations enumerated in
the "Mounds View Parks --City wide Park system
Master Plan" and which will eilieit community
preference for Silver View Park activities/
facilities. This survey should be made available
to any potentially interested parties. The survey
would explain the types of facilities anticipated
by the City identifying those which might be in-
appropriate. send a plan of the park site and
ask respondants to sketch how they think the Park
might be organized.

APPROACH
The approach which we suggest satisfies the scope of
work outlined in the City's Request For Proposal and
provides a methodology for participation by the City..,
consultant and community as integral members of the
Design Team. By working together we will develop
1) a comprehensive conceptual schemes, 2) refined
design plan. 3) bidding documents and 4) implementation.
of the project.
we have purposely expanded the three work items out-
lined in the RFP to include a fourth and essential task..
We feel that the transition from "Design and Develop-
ment of an overall Park Concept Plan" to the "Prepara-
tion of Construction Documents for Phase One construct ion^.:..;:.::^;,
might be too abrupt. Therefore we are proposing that
following the selection of a preferred overall concept
we will prepare a refined design concept incorporating
adequate detail of Phase One development. This- will
' '!~
allow us to ,proceed with the preparation of..:construction
documents. n a more to manner. ...•
The four wotk tasks identified above will be coordinated
through the city's representative with the con suitant
such that design -services can be completed to allow for
a construction start.

DEDICATION Perhaps our best recommendation, however, would be the
quality of work we have provided our clientele. We are
an organization of young professionals committed to the
highest level of design excellence. We offer a dedication
and enthusiasm, tempered by professional sensitivity to
clicnt'a needs, not often found in design firms today.

Design Firms in general choose various paths in their
search for success, from the expeditious to the con-
Scientious. In a marketplace that is growing increas-
ingly discriminating, Design Consortium has chosen its
path as excellence and its goal as the establishment
of a national reputation in the design profession.
DESIGN TEAM Design Consortium employs professional staff in the
fields of:
1. Planning
2. Landscape Architecture
3. Architecture
Q. Graphic/Signage Design
ORGANIZATION Damon Farber, the landscape architectual principal with
Design Consortium, will act as project coordinator.
Mr. Farber will be assisted by Tom Oslund whose recent
landscape architectural experience includes master plan
development of Alexander Ramsey Park in Redwood Falls,
Minnesota and design and construction documents prepara-
tion for a variety of neighborhood parks recently com-
pleted for the city of Apple Valley.
A project Vch as Silver View Park occasionally demands
disciplines not always found in-house. Because our firm
has a strong design orientation we depend heavily on
consultants for certain technical assistance. Specifically,
we would propose to utilize the services of E. A. Hickok
and Associates to assist us in aspects related to hydrology,
and civil engineering. We have worked with one another
many times in the past and feel that their objectivity,
experience and staff complement the capabilities of
Design Consortium. We hope that our use of E. A.
Hickok, on an as needed basis, meets the criteria
esLahlishcd by the City of Mounds View.

The following is a breakrown of fees, schedule and
Fees hourly rates on a task by task basis.
We would propose that the greatest service we can offer
the city is to act in its behalf as an objective partici
pant. Our fee for preparation of total Phase One
services not including construction management/super-
vision is based upon an hourly rate of $42.00 per hour
for principal's time and 2.5 times direct personnel
expense for staff time. our fee is determined by an
estimate of the number of hours we feel are necessary
to prepare a quality product. we will work on an
hourly basis (utilizing the above rates) to the upset
maximum fee indicated.
We would prefer that Task 4 -- Construction Management/
Supervision -- be considered as a separate item to be
calculated on a straight hourly basis. when we work
on such a basis, as opposed to a fixed fee, we are
able to reduce our rates considerably. Mr. Farber's
time will be billed at 135/hour, as opposed to $42.00/
hour. Mr. Oslund's will be billed at $25/hour as
opposed to $29/hour.

(Metropolitan Inter -County Council)
Capabilities Basic to our approach in the preparation of
DesignlTechnlcal Studies is our belief that we
offer a valuable asset which complements offices
and agencies having an engineering orientation.
• Design Consortium is local and has the potential
for acting as a clearing house.
• We are tamiliar with local and regional
physicallpolitical conditions.
• We offer an unusual perspective to
predominently engineering oriented projects. Our
emphasis Is on land -use characteristics, public
perception of project scope, and visual
impactlassessment. We can bring an objective
and fresh viewpoint to the manner in which
engineers and more technical disciplines
visualize impacts upon a community.
*An emphasis is placed on document format such
that graphics can be prepared and used in a
manner that allows for Inclusion In any final
document and for public consumpflwVeducation
in the form of printed matter (h .;;k and white
and color), slides, handouts, and presentation
boards.
• Our record as participants in public involvement
programs indicates that we are perceived as
honest, objective, knowledgeable, and concerned
with both immediate and long-term projects.

We have the capablllties, staff, and experience to
become involved in a variety of work tasks. Our
understanding of land based physical features,
cult urallhlstorical considerations, visual
resources, and environmental sensitivity is
evidenced In each of the following projects.
Public Use Master Plan for Public Use Development and
Development Resource Management for the Mississippi River
Headwaters Resevoirs
The preparation of an up -date to the existing
plans of six recreation areas Including an
overview and inventory of North Central
Minnesota. The analysis and assessment
concentrated on demographics, economics,
archeology, history, soils, slope, hydrology,
vegetation capabilities, and land use. The eventual
design plans resulted from a logical approach to
resource management based on existing
conditions and projected needs.
Baseline Baseline Environmental Survey of the Twin Cities
Inventory Metropolitan Area
The project scope Included development of an
inventory and assessment of the ecological,
cultural, physical, and aesthetic characteristics of
the seven -county metropolitan area. The purpose
of the project was to provide a baseline data
source for on -going 201 Facilities Planning. The
work Involved research, compilation and
consolidation of existing data, up -dating and
providing additional sources of information.
Elements of the Inventory included detailed
analysis of factors related to climatology,
topography, geology, geomorphology, soils
hydrology, wetlands, water use, water quality,
landlwater interfaces, agriculture, land quality,
and environmental constraints.
Site Selection Site Selection lnvsn:wy for Southern Minnesota
Municipal Power Agency
As part of a site selection study for SMMPA,
Design Consortium was involved In the
preparation, inventory, and documentation of
cultural, biological, and physiographic factors
defined as exclusionary andlor avoidance areas
for development. This study assessed twenty-two
counties south of the Twin Cities. Existing data
was gathered and reviewed with State agencies
and Local units of government.
Graphic Format Background Study for Landfill Master Plans
Since the data collection and subsequent findings
of this study Impact the entire Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area, It was essential that all
information gathered be presented in a clearly
understandable manner. Data provided by local
and regional agencies and derived from technical
research was illustrated in a graphic format
developed specifically for this project.
The tables, graphs, maps, and text were prepared
such that the format was flexible enough that it
could be presented as a unified package or by
chapter; as slides; as illustrative displays; or in
report form.
Data Collection Minnesota Disposal Site Selection Projects
Working as a member of a comprehensive team, a
Design Consortium principal assisted In the
development of an inventory process and data
collection scheme for designation of the most
acceptable site for a major landfill facility. The
project emphasized a hlgh degree of citizen
participation in the decision -making process.
Study and consideration was given to the most
practical and environmentally acceptable sites.
While politically and socially unpopular, the
assessment of available sites was accurately
detailed to the point where environmental
assessment papers and graphic presentation
packages were prepared.
Corridor Study Edina/Hyland Transmission Line Location Study
The selection of a corridor for placement of an
electrical transmission Itne was predicated upon a
number of considerations. Among the elements
inventoried were land use, zoning, social and
economic characteristics, hydrology, geology,
transportation patterns, ecological impacts and
culturatlhistorical features.
The significant aspect of this study was the
concept that corridor selection, while
necessitating an economical and practical
alignment solution, had to be based on an
objective evaluation of environmental and
ecological constraints.
The location criteria were selected in association
with Task Force representatives of the affected
agencies and communities. All decisions were
made based upon a Design Framework related to
1) geographic references, 2) mapping process
methodology, 3) composit mapping, and 4) a
subsequent ratingicriteria evaluation process.

Mr. Bruce Anderson
Director Parks, Recreation & Forestry
City of Mounds View
2401 Highway 10
Mounds View, MN 55112
Lear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for the invitation to submit a proposal for Silver
View Park. I am very excited about the project because it
has the potential for being an outstanding park: one that
would allow for innovative ideas, and be an asset to the city
and to those involved in its completion. I recognize that
this park will be the major recreation facility in Mounds
View. Therefore, an in-depth effort will be made to see that
the park is well thought out in both function and visual qual-
ity. Should I be selected to do the design, I would give it
my full attention because it would be for me a number one
project. I would be involved in all stages of decision mak-
ing so that there would be full communication between the
city and the consultant.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Derek Yo g�

FRCPv01T C.-' 6I1-v'ER VIEW' PARK
Mounds view, Minnesota
DEREK YOUNG, INC., proposes to prepare for Silver View Park a
Park Master Plan, prepare construction documents and specifica-
tions for Phase I development, and provide construction observa-
tion of the first phase.
APPROACH
It is my intent to work closely with the city to ensure that
there is agreement on what should be accomplished. We can arrive
at a suitable solution following this procedure: (1) Preview the
Parks and Open Space Surveys; (2) Establish a Program; (3) Evalu-
ate the Site; (4) Develop Concept Alternatives; (5) Hold Public
Discussions.
The process to be followed is outlined below:
1. PROJECT ORIENTATION. Discussions will be held with the city
to review the Parks and Open Space Master Plan; (2) eval-
uate and establish immediate needs and long range desires.
2. SITE INVENTORY. An evaluation of the site will be made on
such information as: (1) Soil characteristics; (2) Slope
and Drainage; (3) vegetation; (4) Man -Made Changes; (5) Water
Bodies and Tab 1,:�S; (6) Utilities; (7) Access; (S) visual
Qualities; (9) Adjacent Uses; (10) Micro -Climate.
3. POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS. This evaluation will derive from
e site inventory ana ysis and will bring into clear focus
what can or cannot be accomplished. These items will be graph-
ically illustrated together with photographs of the site.
4. CONCEPT PLAN. One or more plans will be drawn to show general
orations o activities plus areas to remain natural.
5. PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN. A sketch plan will be prepared illus-
trating how the site could be developed. A public meeting will
be held at this point to discuss pro's and cons.
6. MASTER PLAN. Upon agreement of the preliminary plan a fully
rendered rawing to scale will be prepared. It will show where
all elements are to be located and be used as a guide plan.
Further it will show a three phase development program.
7. PHASE I DEVELOPMENT. Construction drawings, specifications and
cost estimates wx be prepared for bid purposes. I will assist
the city with bid openings and recommend bid letting.
61.
8. CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION. I will make frequent site visits
to see that plans and specifications are being followed on
the Phase I Development. I will review payment requests by
the contractor and oversee all activities relating to this
phase.
TIME COMPLETION
I can begin work on this project as soon as a contract is signed.
I acknowledge that the city wants to begin construction this
coming spring.
PROFESSIONAL FEE
Compensation for design services are:
1. Master Plan (includes items 1-6) $4500

PROPOSAL
SCOPE OF SERVICES
RCM proposes to provide professional planning and design services to the
City of Mounds View to:
a. Prepare a Master Plan for the three phase development of Silver
View Park.
b. Prepare construction plans and specifications and assist with the
letting and award of bids for Phase I construction of Silver
View Park.
c. Provide construction supervision for the Phase I construction of
Silver View Park.
APPROACH
As a full service professional planning and design firm, RCM uses a team
of diversified professionals under the direction of a project manager to
ensure that the technical complexities of project execution are taken into
account throughout the planning and design process. The team to be assigned
to the Silver View Park project has been selected to include strong planning,
recreation administration, landscape architecture, and engineering skills to
provide the full ra„ge of expertise needed for the conceptual planning,
master planning, detailed design, and construction supervision of this
project.
RCM's approach to this project has been designed to recognize the key
constraints on projects of this type:
o Silver View Park must be planned to complement the facilities included
in the citywide Mounds View Park System.
• Silver View Park must be designed to meet specific, identified needs
of the user area it is intended to serve.
e The planning and design of Silver View Park must carefully take into
account the fiscal constraints in the Mounds View municipal budget.
s The planning and design of Silver View Park must include the careful
scheduling of development in phases to ensure that necessary facilities
are developed according to identified priorities.
The phasing of development must be carefully coordinated so that Key
facilities are complimented by necessary amenities.
4
WORK PROGRAM
An outline work program and schedule is included in this proposal. The
work program has been designed to take existing information into account
to the maximum possible extent. The work program has also been designed to
maximize input and review by City staff, Parks and Recreation Commission,
City Council and citizen participation at public hearings.
A. Master Plan Development
The development of the Master Plan will begin with a thorough review
of existing facilities and needs. This review will be used to establish
the specific recreation facility needs to by met by the development
of Silver View Park.
The Silver View Park site will be thoroughly evaluated by landscape
architects, planners, and engineers to carefully access the suit-
ability of each portion of the site for specific facility needs. The
specific needs and specific suitabilities of the site will then be
combined through the allocation of space to maximize usability,
minimize construction costs, and recognize the desirable linkages
between the different facilities within the park. For example, flat
spaced need to be allocated for playfields and parking to minimize
grading and its associated costs. At the same time, a playground
and passive recreation facilities can be located to take advantage
of the amenity potential of other portions of the park.
The initial needs identification, site analysis, and space allocation
will be presented to the staff and Commission for review prior to
further development of the Master Plan. Following City approval of
the initial planning, the approved concepts will be refined, and
cost estimated and phasing schedules will be prepared. During this
phase of the work program, specific priority needs will be identified
for Phase I construction.
Following City review and approval of the Master Plan, detailed con-
struction plans, specifications, construction contracts, and bid
documents will be completed. RCM will use its staff of land
5
planners, landscape architects, and engineers to make certain that
the project as planned can be constructed as cost effectively as
possible, with the minimum need for revisions.
B Construction Documents
RCM is prepared to provide complete technical assistance to the
City during the bid phase of the project. This will include:
• providing information to prospective bidders
a tabulation and review of all bids, bonds, and other required
bid documents
a preparation of a written recoffanendation and the presentation
of this recommendation to the City.
a a pre -construction conference with the successful bidder and
all other necessary parties.
C. Construction Administration
RCM will provide experienced construction supervision personnel to
ensure the proper construction of the project. Construction super-
visions will include not only the assigned inspector, but will also
include members of the design team, to make certain that the design
intent is correctly refle=ted in the construction.
Project supervision will include periodic inspection, at least once
a week, and more frequently as necessary to ensure the correct
construction of the project. It will also include a final inspection
and written report regarding the acceptability of the project as
constructed.
11
COMPENSATION
RCM will provide the master plan for Silver View Park and the construction

QUALIFICATIONS
COMPANY HISTORY
Since its beginning in 1955, RCM has offered a professional and technical
staff that is most capable and talented. Currently the firm maintains a
balanced staff of approximately 160 experienced men and women possessing a
broad range of skills. These people have been carefully selected on the
premise that RCM cleints deserve the best available in professional
disciplines and required support personnel.
The staff of specialists in engineering and design skills enables RCM to
provide closely integrated in-house expertise on a wide variety of projects
and programs. RCM is capable of serving as consultant for all or part of
a project, and has experience in working cooperatively with industries,
municipalities, and metropolitan and state agencies. The design of a single
component or part of a facility receives the same sensitive attention as
does an entire project involving a combination of many specialties.
The key to RCM's success in achieving client satisfaction if the team
approach. Each project for which RCM is commissioned is assigned to a
team, personalized for that project and comprised of specialists required
to solve specific problems and meet particular needs. The multi -disciplined
design team is headed by a project manager who maintains communications
between RCM and the client, from project inception to completion.
With offices in several locations, RCM provides on -site services from
preliminary studies and pre -design details through construction, including
assistance with start-up and operation of the facilities when requried.
Offices are operated and maintained in Mies, Iowa, and in Hopkins, Brainerd,
Gaylord, Mankato, St. Cloud, Virginia, and Worthington, Minnesota. The
main office is in Hopkins, which has available a complete spectrum of
architectural/engineering services.

RCM's skilled staff have gained experience with several of the available
grants programs as well as successful bond referendums. Several of the
Silver View Park team members have worked with members of the Metropolitan
Councils Park and Open Space Commission staff as well as with the Depart-
ment of Historical Resources and the Minnesota Department of Transportation
in securing grants for parks and trails improvements.
Possessing a sensitivity to the parks development process, our staff is
acutely aware of the need for citizen participation and the need for
accurate design and engineering so as to properly plan and design for
access, utilities, site grading and site drainage. The result is a
quality park and recreation facility to which critical attention has been
given long-range operation/maintenance costs and ease in the areas of
i.enancL .. , ., , � .
12
The RCM staff believes that only when citizen participation precedes the
design phase of a park development program, can a site be designed and
developed which truly reflects the interst and needs of the users. Our
team is committed to this philosophy and principal and will work with
the citizens, staff, Parks and Recreation Commission and City officials
in producing a park which reflects a communities pride and committment
to its park system.
The following section of this proposal provides the Bio-Data information
on the individual Silver View Park project team members.

than 160) combine a variety of skills
and disciplines to provide clients with
a total package of design services
based on experience and expertise.
Architecture, engineerina. planning.
landscape architecture and land
surveying demand the application of
numerous technical specialties plus
the backing of a strong organization
that has its clients' concerns foremost
in mind. Over the years, the firm has
been gathering a professional and
support staff which can fulfill the
needs of a diverse number of clients
expeditiously and economically. The
potential user of RCM services can
depend on thorough investigation,
research and imagination necessary
to most effectively address project
requirements.
Experience
RCM has served hundreds of public
and private clients in becoming one
of the larger design firms in the Upper
Midwest. During the past 10 years,
RCM total project construction costs
have exceeded $300,000, 000. In
addition, countless surveys, plans
and studies have been completed.
Our philosophy has been to accept
projects varying dramatically in dollar
size and complexity. Scope of a given
project does not restrict our interest
in providing every client top level
attention. The high number of repeat
clients are witness to the success the
firm has achieved. Many of our
governmental clients have engaged
the firm's design services for
upwards of 20 years.
Founded as specialists in civil
engineering and land surveying, RCM
has grown with the demand for its
services by increasing in-house
expertise to include architecture and
virtually all engineering disciplines,
planning and landscape architecture.
Members of the staff are registered in
many Midwestern states and have
made significant contributions to
their fields in technical design
innovations and project
management. Their accomplish-
ments have earned design awards,
and many are active within local,
regional or national technical and
professional organizations.
Project MonagerlTeam
Approach
Each project for which RCM is
engaged is headed by a project
manager. The person designated is
responsible for coordinating the
project team in providing our clients
with a project that meets their needs,
budget and time schedules. The eight
individual offices of RCM are
strategically located and work some-
what independently within their own
areas of expertise, drawing on skills
from other offices as required. This
allows a personalized service to the
client that directly encompasses the
total firm resources as needed.
Communications is on -going
throughout the project schedule
between all eight offices and the
individual specialists assigned.

control systems, engineering
calculations, specifications, prepara-
tion of reports and other documents
are provided to make better
use of available time and money.

governmental projects provides a
high level of competency within the
firm to furnish special assistance and
guidance in obtaining available public
works financing. RCM staff members
know and understand the many
diverse grant systems and how these
important programs really operate.
Working with bonding consultants,
developers of land and structures,
and governmental agencies at all
levels is an every day occurrence for
our professionals.

Pub is Participation
RCM helps the client define answers,
present data, and assists in rational
and logical processes. Public
involvement is highly important today
and is routinely considered before
'
finalization of contracts or start of
construction. When appropriate,
interested organizations and
individuals within a project's impact
area are involved in public meetings
and field tours to allow better under-
standing of a project. The goal is to
achieve the right kind of sensitivity,
cooperation and creativity from the
community at large.
Our specialists have the energy,
enthusiasm and imagination to
achieve a multitude of design
challenges. From civil, sanitary,
,
structural, mechanical, electrical,
and environmental engineering to

Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners:
This is just a quick note to remind you of the special Park Commission meeting
on Thursday, January 15, 1981. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.
in the City Hall Council Chambers.
The schedule for the three firms is as follows:
1. 6:00 p.m. - Sanders and Associates; Bill Sanders
2. 7:00 p.m. - Brauer and Associates; Paul Fjare
3. 8:00 p.m. - Saur-ors and Thalden Associates; Gary Tushie
I have enclosed a staff memo dated November 25, 1979 which outlines a few
possible questions you may wish to direct towards the three firms. A copy of
the letter that was forwarded to each firm is also included for your perusal.
The Council did discuss the enclosed memo regarding the warming house condition.
It was the basic consensus of the City Council that they concurred with staffs
recommendation and I am in the process of soliciting bid proposals for the in-
stallation of the doors.
Lastly the City Council has requested that each Commissioner inform staff as to
when they began their term with the Parks and Recreation Commission. Staff will
be requesting that information at Thursday evenings meeting.
See you Thursday!

MEMO TO: Mr. Don Pauley, City Administrator
Mounds View City Counci '®rD
FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Directo
Parks, Recreation and Forpartment
DATE: January 12, 1981
RE: Warming House Condition
Staff met with City Building Inspector Robert Mikulak, Fire Chief Fagerstrom, and
Assistant Fire Chief Tom Skeate on Thursday, January 8, 1981 as per the direction
of the City Council to inspect the existing warming house shelter buildings from
a health, safety and welfare perspective. In addition, staff has requested that
Electrical Inspector Robert Edmond review the electrical systems on Monday morning,
January 12, 1981.
It was the consensus of the four staff members that each of the buildings were in
deplorable condition yet were serving an important service to the community. We
discussed each building from two perspectives, the first being short range repairs
and long range refurbishing. A complete breakdown of the immediate and long range
repairs follows with rough cost estimates.
The three immediate items of concern for each shelter building are:
1. Fire extinguishers
2. Second exit door or emergency door opposite from entrance door
3. Replacement of existing heaters including piping, ventilation
and flue.
Staff has already purchased and installed fire extinguishers at a cost of $140.00.
They are 5-2A IOB.C. Multi -rated units at $28.00/extinguisher. The projected cost
for exit or emergency doors would be $750.00 based on $150.00/shelter for a plywood
door. Cronstroms heating and air conditioning staff have reviewed the heating needs
and recommend a suspended or hanging heater at an approximate cost of $1,500.00/unit
installed or $7,500.00. Total estimate for immediate repairs is $8,390.00.
The Fire Chief felt that we could delay the purchase and installation of new heating
units until 1982 assuming the existing exposed tubing and venting were repaired
immediately. It was his further recommendation that the fire extinguishers and
exit doors be installed immediately.
Staff would concur with this recommendation that the emergency or exit doors be
installed at a cost of $750.00 to be completed by a private contractor. Staff would
further recommend that the replacement of heating units at a cost of $7,500.00 be
postponed until the Council makes a final determination as to the future of the
buildings.
Staffs formal recommendation for the Councils review is to allocate $750.00 from the
City Contingency account for installation of five fire extinguishers and construction
of fire exit doors as a reasonable short range solution.
A complete listing of the proposed repairs and rough cost estimates is as follows.
(A detailed listing of electrical repairs will be forthcoming.)

conditioning or in straight heating systems, as boos!ers
and reheat units. for tempering make-up air and in process
drying Modine duct furnaces offer the systems designer,
the installer, and building owner many important
advantages
Limitations in installation height can usually be met
by using two or more duct furnaces which can be installed
side by side or in tandem. Btu requirements exceeding
the capacity of the largest model duct furnace may also
dictate the combined use of smaller models whose total
capacity matches the Btu requirement, when furnaces
are installed in combination. they may be operated in-
dependently or interconnected for simultaneous
automatic operation.
Types of gases that may be used are natural and
propane
product benefits
Long -life heat exchangers — Modine heat exchanger de-
sign accomodates the need for greater Cfm requirements
of air-conditioning systems without the necessity forpro-
viding expensive bypass ducts and dampers. Low pres-
sure drops and correspr:nding reduced tan horsepower
demands are significant advantages of the heat exchanger
design. An air distribution baffel (standard on all models)
can be removed to further reduce air pressure drop when
applied to systems designed for higher Cfm, A.G.A_ and
C.G.A. certified for downstream application from cooling
coils.
Extensive use of corrosion -resistant metal — Important
where duct furnaces are used in connection with air-
cooling systems. Casing, heat exchanger and burner are
made from long -life corrosion -resistant, aluminized steel.
Lightweight, trims Installation costs — Corrosion.
resistant aluminized steel burners, heat exchangers, and
casings contribute toward a drastic reduction in weight.
Easier to handle. install faster and save the cost of provid-
ing for special ceiling supports and reinforcements.
Mounting holes permit easy attachment of 16" diameter
rods for overhead suspension. Attachment of ductwork
is facilitated by flanges on both sides of heat exchanger
section,

MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Commissioners
FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, R�!cr,!ation & Forestry
DATE: October 25, 1979
RE: Possible Consultant Questions
i)ririnn the tW ..:x� r. + ..,Y., weeks i,ne nark Gomsrission will be hearing a number of
presentations from local planning firms and one of the issues each agency
has raised is an opportunity to respond to the Commissioners concerns and
questions. I am sure each of you have your own specific questions concern-
ing the development of the comprehensive plan and the relationship between
the planning firm and the Commission, and I would strongly encourage you to
ask them following the firm's presentations.
To assist you with this process, I have developed the 'ollowing questions
that may be of interest to the Commission:
1. What do you invision the role of the consultant firm between the:
a. Staff
b. Planning Commission
c. City Council
2. What basic design concepts would your firm employ to keep both main-
tenance and vandalism costs down in the development of the Mounds
View park system?
3. Has your firm had any direct experience in working with park refer-
endums, if yes, what is your success ratio?
4. What new trends or programs do you foresee the Parks and Recreation
profession becoming involved in that we should be planning for now?
S. Both lit athletic complexes and underground irrigation systems have
been under serious scrutiny during the past five years because of the
impending energy crunch. Do you have any thoughts of relationship of
direct benefit to energy consumption regarding lit facilities and
irrigation systems.
Once again, these are merely potential questions and I would encourage you to
raise your concerns first.

The Phase One L.A.W.C.O.N. grant allocates $6,500.00 for engineering/consulting
fees and Saunders bid proposal ranged from $5,900.00 to $7,100.00.
Staff would recommend that the City Council accept the Parks and Recreation Commis-
sion's recommendation of Saunders and Thalden based on the following facts:
1. Their firm was the low bid of the seven received and the only firm
which came in at or below budget.
2. They have been actively involved with the City's Park Planning process
to date and their work has been well received by City Council, Park
Commission and Staff.
3. They have had extensive experience in similar projects both in the metro
and outstate area.
4. They have completed construction documents and specifications in the past
which were reviewed by the Commission as high quality material.
5. They would provide additional copies of their plan to be inserted in the
Park Master Plan which will complete that document.
Staff's specific recommendation is for the City Council to direct staff to negotiate
a formal consulting contrac+ with Saunders and Thalden not to exceed the budgeted
$6,500.00 price.
Staff has placed copies of all seven proposals in the City Council Library should you
desire to explore the proposals.
Should you have any questions regarding either the Park and Recreation Commission or
staff's position on this issue, feel free to contact staff at extension #41.

RE: Silver View Park/Consultant Selection
The Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission has been actively involved in
the interview and selection process of hiring a consultant for the development
of a Master Plan for Silver View Park during the past two months.
The process .began in December, 1979 when they directed staff to prepare bid
specifications and to conduct preliminary interviews of twelve consulting firms.
This process was begun immediately and staff presented the Commission with seven
firms whom were qualified to complete the project.
The request for proposal was then mailed out to seven firms in December with a
requested deadline of January 7, 1981. All seven firms responded with proposals
which were delivered to the Commissioners for their review on January 8, 1981.
The seven firms who submitted bid proposals and their total bid price is
