RE: Presentation and Interviews for the Park Planning Project
This special meeting is intended to provide you all with the opportunity to collect as much
information as possible to inform your selection of a consultant for this project. A selection
of a firm to complete this project is not anticipated to be made until the March 2nd City
Council workshop meeting. Staff encourages evaluation of each candidate's proposal,
presentation, and interview in relation to the Request for Proposals (RFP) that was issued
for this project.
You may consider a variety of factors when weighing your selection. It is strongly
encouraged to consider the “Best Value” factors included on page 7 of the RFP:
• The Vendor’s industry experience and previous experience in performing similar work,
particularly with public sector entities in the State of Minnesota
• The thoroughness, quality, specificity, robustness, flexibility of approach & methodology
including as it applies to public input.
• The project’s financial cost.
• The vendor’s past performance and client references. (This information is forthcoming.
References will be obtained immediately following the presentations and interviews.)
• Timeliness, ability to provide adequate analysis and quality deliverables within a
reasonable timeframe.
Information pertaining to client references will be provided in advance of any decision
making of the PRC and City Council. The Public Works Director and I will be conducting
the inquiry.
PRC members will be asked to hold an additional meeting to consider a recommendation to
the City Council in advance of the March 2nd meeting or to join the City Council for a brief
joint meeting on that day.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
