13 <br /> EHLER $. <br /> & ASSOCIATES 'INC <br /> o To: NUe`Mornson, St. Anthony Village <br /> G From: Jim Prosser, Ehlers &Associates <br /> cW Date: January 21,2003 <br /> G Subject: Northwest Quadrant Alternative Urban Areawide Review <br /> The redevelopment of the Apache area within the Northwest Quadrant will require an <br /> environmental review. Given the nature of the proposed redevelopment it is recommended <br /> that St. Anthony consider an Alternative Urban Areawide Review(AUAR). This process is <br /> essentially an Environmental Impact Statement that provides some flexibility to adapt to changes <br /> that may be considered by the City in the future. The AUAR is the method of environmental <br /> review most preferred by cities for this type of project. <br /> Acting of behalf of the City Ehlers has solicited from two firms identified as highly competent in <br /> the preparation of AUAR studies. Those firms, SRF Consulting Group, Inc. and DSU <br /> Consultants have submitted proposals for consideration. <br /> In an effort to save costs,both firms were advised of the availability of WSB Engineers to <br /> "partner"in the AUAR study. WSB has significant base data required for the AUAR study. <br /> Both firms included WSB as partners in their proposals. <br /> Ehlers&Associates has reviewed the proposals.Provided below is a summary of the analysis: <br /> Firm Scope of Services • References Time Cost <br /> SRF/WSB Clearly described.
