Funds are in place to have the tower reconditioned up to $750,000. Staff reached out to three firms to get proposals for the project management portion of the project and get estimates on the overall cost of the project. The three proposals we received were from KLM Engineering, SHE Design, and Moore Engineering. All proposals submitted have great credentials and have shown examples of work done in other cities. Staff are confident in any of these options and believe the end result with be satisfactory. Below is cost information from the proposals: KLM Proposal – Engineering Servies: $68,868 Construction Estimate: $500,000 Total = $568,868 SHE Design - Engineering & Construction: $548,300 Annual touch ups/wash: $66,600 Total = $614,900 Moore Engineering - Engineering Services: $68,500 Construction Estimate: $500,000 Total = $568,500 Staff would like the Council to discuss these options and be prepared to select one of the three options at the regular Council meeting.

The next update is required to be completed and submitted by the end of 2028. This process can be lengthy and time consuming. Staff would like to begin this process in the fall of 2026 and aim for completion by early 2028. Earlier this year at the joint Planning Commission and City Council meeting, a request was made to ask the City Planner and City Engineer to provide quotes for the work needed to accomplish this update. In your packet, you have a quote WSB for the planning side and Moore Engineering for the engineering side. Both total just under $70,000. Staff currently have this as a line item in the 2027 levy for the full amount, but if proposals are approved Staff, a request will be made to both firms to see if we can split the payment and assess half in 2027 and the other half in 2028 to spread out the impact to the levy. Otherwise, we will need to assess the full amount in 2027. Staff is recommending approval for both proposals for assistance to update the 2028 Comprehensive Plan from both WSB and Moore Engineering. A PROPOSAL FOR 2050 Comprehensive Plan FOR THE CITY OF SPRING PARK 70 1 X E N I A A V E S | S U I T E 3 0 0 | M I N N E A P O L I S , M N 5 5 4 1 6 | T E L : 7 6 3 . 5 4 1 . 4 8 0 0 | F A X : 7 6 3 . 5 4 1 . 1 7 0 0 | W S B E N G . C O M TABLE OF CONTENTS Project Approach .............................................3 Project Team ....................................................9 Cost Proposal..................................................11 Project Approach | 3Proposal for 2050 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Spring Park On behalf of WSB, we are pleased to submit our proposal to develop Spring Park’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan. We value our relationship with Spring Park and look forward to continuing our strong partnership. We will deliver a plan that aligns with the goals of the city, its residents, and the Metropolitan Council. Sincerely, WSB Project Understanding Lori Johnson has the pleasure of serving as your City Planner so our team has a strong understanding of the vision your elected and appointed officials—and residents—have for Spring Park. We understand you want to update the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to meet the Metropolitan Council’s Imagine 2050 standards. Our approach will mirror the process used for the 2040 plan, including a Steering Committee to guide plan development and meetings held during regularly scheduled Planning Commission meetings. WSB will also develop a project website for the comprehensive plan update, including a survey to gather community input on the city’s future and the plan’s content. WSB will guide the city through approvals with the Planning Commission, City Council, and the Metropolitan Council. Project Approach Task 1: Kick off/Research To initiate the project, the WSB team will meet with city staff, the Planning Commission and City Council and provide a thorough review of project parameters, and establish deadlines and meeting schedules. During this meeting our team hopes to extract some of the big issues that the City would like to handle during the process that might be outside the realm of the Metropolitan Council’s purview. During this Task, the team will also gather existing data necessary for research related to the planning document. This will lay the groundwork for the creation of the new plan. Lori Johnson Project Manager Project Approach | 4Proposal for 2050 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Spring Park Task 2: Public Engagement The Planning Commission, along with other community members as appropriate, will serve as the project Steering Committee. We propose two primary engagement events: (1) a pop-up booth at a community event of your choosing to explain comprehensive planning and gather input on residents’ vision for the city over the next 10 years, and (2) a visioning workshop using structured exercises (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) to inform the plan’s direction. Task 3: Drafting the Plan Based on the public engagement results from Task 2 and with the guidance of the Metropolitan Council system statements and Plan requirements, WSB will begin creating the final draft plan document. The following are the required elements of the plan as prescribed by the Metropolitan Council: -Existing conditions and Data Analysis -Land use -Housing -Transportation -Wastewater -Water supply -Surface water -Parks and trails -Climate -Natural systems -Implementation Existing Conditions and Data Analysis History, existing conditions, current maps, and development patterns, among other topics, will all be analyzed to create a picture of what the city looks like today. Also in this chapter will be an analysis of current trends in development and emerging issues. This will include trends of social, economic, physical, and political nature. Demographics will be featured in this chapter. WSB will work with city staff to host an open house before the draft is presented to the Planning Commission and City Council and ahead of the required public hearing. WSB will develop and maintain an interactive, public ArcGIS project website for the duration of the project. It will include a community input map, project updates, documents, visual media, engagement summaries, and draft materials. Our engagement team will provide a summary report documenting participation, engagement methods, and event outcomes. We will incorporate this input into the updated comprehensive plan. Please note that Steering Committee meetings will be held during regularly scheduled Planning Commission meetings and those meetings will be billed under the contract between WSB and the city for staff augmentation services. Project Approach | 5Proposal for 2050 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Spring Park Land Use A new land use plan, working from the currently adopted plan, will be introduced for the City that illustrates the location and density of future development in phases. This plan will guide future development and growth to achieve the community’s objectives. A current inventory of existing land uses will be important as the City looks to plan for its future land use needs. Balancing the growth of the various land use sectors will be explored, particularly as they relate to current and projected market trends, as well as other techniques to assist in cultivating a resilient local economy. The final document will include a new land use map tailored to the new identified goals of the City. WSB will review and refine land use categories and residential density ranges to provide flexibility consistent with community goals while continuing to meet regional requirements. Housing Housing supply and historical housing trends that have occurred in the community will be examined. Demographic information regarding population and households will be provided. Housing should be examined from a local and regional perspective. Possible future housing development trends will be analyzed. Long-term housing options, based upon the demographic analyses undertaken, can be suggested and methods for meeting housing goals will be provided. Affordable housing will be a topic of discussion as it relates to the city’s required goals of the Metropolitan Council. Transportation The WSB Team will review the entire transportation system in and around Spring Park to understand the existing conditions, challenges, and opportunities related to safety, mobility, and connectivity, and use this information to update the transportation chapter with new goals and strategies. Recommendations in the transportation chapter will be closely coordinated with other related components of the Comprehensive Plan. WSB will collect data on transportation items required for the update. This includes roadways, crash data, transit systems and services, bicycle facilities and barriers, pedestrian facilities and priority network needs, freight systems and deficiencies, travel demand management, aviation, ADA transition plans, and climate and natural systems. Data collection and analysis will focus on meeting Met Council required minimums. Information gathered and analysis results will be written up for the transportation section of the plan. WSB will use provided information from the Metropolitan Council as the basis for the TAZ analysis. The final transportation section will meet all Metropolitan Council requirements. Parks and Trails As part of this effort, WSB will identify updated goals and collaborate with the City to revise the associated park and trail maps to reflect system changes since the previous 2040 plan adoption. In addition, we will incorporate insights and priorities emerging from the current 2050 planning engagement process to ensure the chapter accurately represents the community’s evolving needs and vision for its parks and trails network. Project Approach | 6Proposal for 2050 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Spring Park Climate The Metropolitan Council is requiring cities to plan for climate change as part of their 2050 Comprehensive Plan. Cities are required to implement actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to develop strategies to adjust to current and future climate impacts. For this step, our Sustainability Team will take a data-based approach to conduct an analysis of the current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile for the city utilizing the Metropolitan Council climate model. Using this publicly available resource, we will assess how climate conditions have changed over time and are projected to continue to change, as important input and lens for the Comprehensive Plan. Based on the findings of this analysis, we will provide a narrative summarizing the data. Natural Systems/Surface Water and Waste Water Moore Engineering to complete these chapters. Implementation An essential component of any plan is a well-defined implementation strategy. WSB’s final deliverable will feature an implementation matrix detailing actionable steps, projected timelines, responsible parties, and estimated costs for each item. Where applicable, WSB may also offer funding recommendations. Furthermore, the matrix will outline targeted strategies designed to achieve the objectives set forth in the plan. WSB is aware that the City will work with Moore Engineering to complete the Natural Systems, Surface Water, and Waste Water chapters of the comprehensive plan. WSB will review and incorporate the critical elements from the Moore Engineering’s analyses such as major capital improvements, planned capacities, and network expansion. We will verify that the utility plans account for and will satisfy the updated future land use plan. These sections of the Plan are critical to ensure infrastructure can meet future growth and is being monitored for maintenance and upkeep. Suggestions and strategies will be provided in terms of potential infrastructure funding sources and maintenance programs. Upon completion of this task, WSB will provide the City with a total of two draft plans; the first draft and one edited based upon staff feedback prior to submitting the final draft to the Planning Commission and City Council for approval. Project Approach | 7Proposal for 2050 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Spring Park Task 4: Approval of the Plan Once staff, the Planning Commission, City Council, and WSB complete their efforts, several steps remain to secure approval from both the City Council and the Metropolitan Council for the final plan. WSB will manage the approval process. STEP 1: INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK SHARING This step includes one joint meeting with staff, the Planning Commission and City Council to review the drafts as outlined above. This step is also when the open house will be held for the public to review the final draft. STEP 2: PRELIMINARY REVIEW BY THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL The Metropolitan Council offers cities the opportunity to present the proposed plan for preliminary review to ensure all the elements required in the System Statements and the Minimum Requirements documents are adequately addressed. After the community open house, WSB will submit the draft plan to the Metropolitan Council for their preliminary review. STEP 3: PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND PUBLIC HEARING After the preliminary review by the Metropolitan Council is completed, the final draft will be presented to the Planning Commission, and a public hearing will be scheduled. The Planning Commission will be required to make a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed document. STEP 4: CITY COUNCIL REVIEW/ RESOLUTION OF SUBMITTAL TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL The City Council will be expected to approve a resolution approving the submittal of the plan to the Metropolitan Council when they are satisfied with the final product. WSB will bill the time for preparation and attendance at these meetings to the contract for staff augmentation. STEP 5: ADJACENT JURISDICTION REVIEW Upon approval of a resolution by the City Council, the city must allow for adjacent jurisdiction review, and WSB will be responsible for managing this review process. The plan will be sent to the required adjacent jurisdictions for their review. WSB will coordinate all jurisdiction responses and then prepare for submittal to the Metropolitan Council. STEP 6: ELECTRONIC SUBMITTAL TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL WSB will electronically submit the final document to the Metropolitan Council for their review and approval. Project Approach | 8Proposal for 2050 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Spring Park STEP 7: CITY COUNCIL FORMAL ADOPTION Once the Metropolitan Council approves the plan, the City Council will need to formally adopt the plan at a regular meeting. WSB will then submit the adoption resolution and a copy of the plan to the Metropolitan Council. STEP 8: MODIFICATION OF OFFICIAL CONTROLS (IF NECESSARY) If the City has identified local official controls that need to be modified to support the new comprehensive plan, the City will need to begin the process of adopting these controls within 30 days of the approval of the comprehensive plan. City staff will be responsible for presenting these modifications to the Planning Commission and City Council. WSB would be happy to provide a cost estimate for this element if so desired by the City. Task 5: Delivery of the Comprehensive Plan A PDF of the entire comprehensive plan document will be provided to the City electronically, along with a Microsoft Word version of the document and any Excel documents associated with the plan. All maps will be delivered electronically in a format that allows the City to modify the documents if necessary, and that is compatible with the city AutoCAD standards and GIS software. Background information, public engagement activities, including survey information and other plan documentation will all be made available to the City. WSB values the chance to strengthen our partnership with the City of Spring Park, as well as our connection with your residents and stakeholders. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at ljohnson@wsbeng.com or 612.364.3029. The comprehensive plan update process can be lengthy, particularly given the Metropolitan Council’s requirement for adjacent jurisdiction review, which can last up to 6 months. It is estimated that the time frame for total completion of the plan is 1 year to 1 year and 4 months.

Comprehensive Water Resources Planning Services - City of Spring Park Project Understanding Moore Engineering will provide engineering components of the comprehensive plan effort to assist the City of Spring Park, including wastewater, surface water, water supply, and natural systems support planning. The proposed work program is intended to help the City develop local concerns that are implementable and align with Met Council and MCWD guidance while focusing on local infrastructure and environmental priorities. The Metropolitan Council’s Imagine 2050 planning framework emphasizes integrated water planning, sustainability, resiliency, infrastructure coordination, environmental stewardship, and long-term implementation planning. In response to these requirements, Moore Engineering will work collaboratively with City staff to evaluate existing conditions, identify future needs, and develop practical recommendations that support the City’s long-term planning objectives. Moore is aware that MCWD is undergoing a water resource planning process separate from Met Council. The proposal is structured for the City to select the level of engineering and environmental services required and associated costs. Moore is available for a full suite of services but understands that the comprehensive plan process is driven by Met Council and City planning. Moore also understands that some of Spring Park’s infrastructure is provided by Orono, so any mapping or existing information is dependent upon adjacent cities and consultant cooperation. Project Approach To support implementation of the planning recommendations, Moore Engineering will also review any existing budgets and Capital Improvement Plans for wastewater, surface water, water supply, transportation and natural system recommendations and provide recommendations. This effort will include development through Moore’s CapVue Tool, which provides a structured, centralized platform for organizing potential projects, documenting purpose and need, identifying planning - level costs, mapping project locations, evaluating funding sources, and comparing priorities across infrastructure categories. CapVue will help the City move from plan recommendations to an actionable capital improvement framework by identifying priority projects, anticipated timelines, funding opportunities, and planning-level capital improvement recommendations. The tool also provides added value going forward by allowing the City to update project information as conditions, costs, funding availability, and community priorities change, creating a living implementation tool rather than a static planning document. This approach will support transparent decision-making, improve coordination between staff and decision-makers, strengthen grant readiness, and help the City strategically prioritize future infrastructure and environmental investments in a sustainable manner. Proposed CIP Budget: $8,300 (Estimated) Task 1: Project Management and Engagement The project will begin with coordination with WSB to ensure elficient communication, schedule tracking, and coordination throughout the planning process. Moore Engineering will assist WSB as needed in the facilitation of a kickoff meeting, provide ongoing coordination with City staff for engineering components, and provide information for project scheduling, quality control, and progress documentation. Moore can assist WSB with developing materials for public meetings such as an open house and the public ArcGIS project website. Moore will coordinate with the City for approved tasks. Proposed Project Management and Engagement Budget: $4,400 (Estimated) Task 2: Drafting the Plan As part of the Wastewater planning component, Moore will review available utility documentation, and if necessary, assess current and future wastewater service considerations. Speciffc tasks include: • Review available wastewater infrastructure, MCES lift station records, utility documentation, and related planning materials provided by the City. • Evaluate system capacity, current and future service needs, I&I considerations, maintenance priorities, resiliency, and long-term investment needs. • Update wastewater goals, policies, implementation strategies, and mapping exhibits to support future infrastructure planning and capital improvement programming, as needed. Proposed Wastewater Section Budget: $3,500 (Estimated) The Surface Water management component will focus on stormwater infrastructure, drainage systems, water quality, and resiliency planning. Moore will review existing local water management plans and watershed requirements while inventorying lakes, wetlands, drainageways, and stormwater facilities throughout the community. Moore will complete the following tasks: • Review applicable water management plans, watershed requirements, regulatory considerations, and available stormwater infrastructure information. • Evaluate drainage, ifooding, water quality, resiliency, BMP, and green infrastructure opportunities to support long-term system performance. • Prepare surface water goals, policies, implementation strategies, recommendations, and mapping exhibits. Proposed Surface Water Budget: $4600 (Estimated) The proposed Water Supply planning effort for the City will focus on evaluating existing water infrastructure, identifying future water demand and sustainability considerations, and developing implementation strategies that support long-term resiliency and regulatory compliance. Moore will apply relevant work completed in this area to this effort. Speciffc tasks include: • Review existing water supply infrastructure, utility data, historical water use trends, and applicable planning information. • Evaluate future demand, system capacity, conservation, sustainability, peak demand reduction, reliability, redundancy, and drought preparedness needs. • Identify long-term infrastructure priorities and prepare water supply goals, policies, implementation strategies, and mapping exhibits. Proposed Water Supply Budget: $1,600 (Estimated) The Natural Systems planning effort will identify and assess environmentally sensitive resources throughout the City, including wetlands, shoreland areas, woodlands, habitat corridors, and open spaces. Moore will review available environmental mapping and Metropolitan Council opportunity area data to identify opportunities for resource protection, enhancement, and restoration. Speciffc tasks include: • Inventory environmentally sensitive resources and review available environmental mapping and opportunity area data. • Evaluate protection, enhancement, restoration, stewardship, resiliency, and long-term planning integration opportunities. • Prepare natural systems goals, policies, implementation strategies, recommendations, and mapping exhibits. Proposed Natural Systems Budget: $4,300 (Estimated) Task 3: Plan Coordination Moore Engineering will coordinate schedules with WSB and ensure all documentation of Moore plan components are completed in a timely manner. Moore will assist in material development for these components of plan approval. Proposed Plan Coordination Budget: $0 – (Included in each line item) Cost Proposal The estimated budget for the Moore Engineering proposed scope of work is approximately $26,700. However, this scope and fee can be modiffed upon further discussions with the City and is largely dependent on the mapping and infrastructure datasets available. This planning-level estimate include project management, technical analysis, mapping and GIS support, policy development, implementation planning, and preparation of ffnal documentation. The proposed budget assumes the City will provide available GIS data, prior studies, utility mapping, and related planning documents. Through this effort, Moore Engineering and WSB will provide the City of Spring Park with a coordinated and implementation-focused planning framework that supports the City for compliance with Metropolitan Council requirements while advancing the City’s infrastructure, water resource, and environmental planning goals.
