RFPQ for Master Park Planning
______________________________________________________________________
The deadline for Submissions of Proposals and Qualifications for Master Park Planning
and Design Services was Friday, September 29 at 2:00 pm.
Staff reviewed the submissions during the week of October 2 and invited four firms to
City Hall during the evening of October 10, 2023, for interviews with the subcommittee.
The four firms invited to interview were Anderson Engineering, HKGi, SRF Consulting
Group Inc., and WSB. The subcommittee consisted of Mayor McKee, Councilmember
Nichols, Commissioner Friedrich, Public Works Director Mattson, and Recreation
Supervisor Christensen Buck. Councilmember Nichols was unable to participate in the
interviews, but was included in the distribution of information.
During the interviews, the panel asked questions regarding opportunities and threats
Corcoran faces in developing the park system, affordable engineering, contacts for day-
to-day vs. design work, and conflicting viewpoint management.
Following the interviews, the panel discussed their thoughts on the consulting firms and
came to a consensus of HKGi being the best fit for the services. This decision was due
to the previous project experience, knowledge of projects, and understanding of
Corcoran’s needs.
Attached are the four submissions from the consulting firms that were invited to
interview for Commission review. Staff is looking for a recommendation of a preferred
firm to go to the October 26, 2023, City Council meeting. Following Council approval of
a firm, staff would work with the chosen firm to develop a Master Services Agreement to
bring to City Council on November 9, 2023.
Funding for the services is anticipated to come from Park Dedication Funds, however,
additional funding options are being explored.

Anderson is teaming with Midwest Wetlands Improvements (MWI) to assist with water resources and their history with park
projects in the City of Corcoran. MWI’s Principal was directly involved with the original City Park remaster (Athletic) and Ravinia
(Wildflower) parks from its inception while employed with his previous employer. This background and knowledge of these
parks will provide the City of Corcoran tremendous value through the park planning process with the understanding of what
previous decisions were made and a comprehensive understanding of the sites to accelerate programming and analyzing the
sites saving time and budget. In addition, Anderson’s Landscape Architect-in-Training previously worked with MWI’s Principal
on these projects while both employed with their same previous employer providing seamlessness collaboration within the
project team.
MIDWEST WETLANDS IMPROVEMENTS
VICTORIA, MINNESOTA
Midwest Wetland Improvements, a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Emerging Small
Business Enterprise (ESBE) through the Central Certification (CERT) Program, was created with
the mission of restoring and protecting the water resources and habitats that are critical to life.
The firm is a fusion of landscape architecture and ecology that provides a unique approach to
problem solving. Our expertise ranges from pure ecological restoration of degraded systems to
integrating stormwater management and green infrastructure into the human built
environment.
Through these projects, we also demonstrate our ability to address multiple goals by creatively solving runoff, infiltration or
flooding problems while also repurposing what is typically lost space for public use and interaction with the site. Ultimately, this
problem-solving approach supports our ability to identify opportunities to improve and protect surface and groundwater quality,
manage the volume and flow of stormwater runoff, as well as incorporate opportunities for the public to engage with and become
more knowledgeable about their local water resources.
Lucius Jonett is the founder of Midwest Wetland Improvements and has had experience as a municipal landscape architect for the
City of Lake Elmo, has previous experience with the City of Corcoran on the Ravinia and Athletic (now called City Park) parks, has
developed a countywide park master plan for Kandiyohi County, MN, and continues to design new park projects integrating water
resources into them. In addition to the design of public places, Lucius continues to practice as a stream ecologist following natural
channel design principles and using the Stream Quantification Tool since 2019 to quantify project impacts and develop mitigation
credits. Most of the stream projects that Lucius works on are in public parks and City outlots lined with residential properties, so
he has become adept at working with large groups of public stakeholders.
Midwest Wetland Improvement’s experience tailors to the expectations of local government agencies and has performed
professional services for neighboring jurisdictions including the City of Maple Grove, City of Plymouth and Three Rivers Park
District.

PARK CONCEPT & DESIGN
ATHLETIC (CITY) AND
RAVINIA (WILDFLOWER) PARKS | CORCORAN, MN
Worked with the City to develop layout concepts and final design for
Wildflower Park, the City’s first neighborhood park located in the Ravinia
subdivision. Provided guidance on what amenities to include within the park
and oversaw the grading plan being developed. Negotiated with the
developer to complete the rough grading for that addition of new homes.
Volunteered for the community build day to assemble the playground
equipment.
Worked with the City on a second park master planning project for the
community athletic park including up to eight sports fields, a sports dome,
equipment storage areas, trail connections, a multi-use building including bathroom facilities, concessions, warming house and
storage, parking, stormwater conveyance, landscapes, sight lines, and natural areas. Worked with staff and the City park
commission to iterate through layouts to develop a final concept, phasing plan and cost estimates.
MUNICIPAL LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT
LAKE ELMO, MN
Served as the City’s Landscape Architect to develop and recommend
landscape policies and procedures, review land use applications, landscape
plans, irrigation plans, and vegetative maintenance plans for private
developments. Also assisted in the planning, layout and design of City parks
and trails. Conducted on-site inspections to ensure compliance with
approved landscape and other applicable plans and prepare punch lists
prior to acceptance of landscaping. Utilized ArcGIS Online to create a tree
inspection dataset that allowed us to record and verify the location of all new planted trees in the City, noting if trees were rejected
for various reasons and to revisit and verify after the replacements were correctly planted. This database of trees became a tool to
analyze the quantities and distribution of tree species throughout the City to provide guidance on diversity of the tree canopy and
watching out for unbalance for future pest issues.
As the City’s Landscape Architect, participated in internal and external meetings involving landscape questions and issues with
City staff and development applicants. Reviewed development proposals for conformance with City standards and identified
opportunities for non- traditional landscaping techniques and any applicable ordinance revisions needed. As a special project for
the City, a redesign of the planting was developed and implementation plan for the 5th Street median to provide native plant
species to promote easy maintenance, less irrigation and pollinator habitat.

PARKS MASTER PLAN
KANDIYOHI COUNTY, MN
Games Lake is a popular destination park for camping, day-use,
swimming and fishing near New London, MN. An upcoming road
reconstruct required the addition of a second entrance to the park
and the County wanted to use the opportunity to develop a master
plan for the park to address conflicting uses, parking and drainage
issues, and desired improvements. Partnered with the County to unify
a vision for the park that can be accomplished in multiple phases,
ensuring the most efficient completion of each phase with confidence
there will be no rework and wasted money to complete each phase of
the plan. After completing the master plan, designed the first phase
of the project, the second entrance and parking lot improvements.
Based on the success of the first master planning at Games Lake, the
design team partnered again with Kandiyohi County to complete the
same process for Diamond Lake park. The park sits on the West side of
Diamond Lake and was cut off from the lake by a County Highway. The
County relocated the highway and needed a new entrance along with
other improvements to improve public access, park operations, safety
and access to the lake.
After completing two master planning projects and reconstructs for
Kandiyohi County, the design team partnered again to assess all the
parks within the county. Worked with the board of commissioners,
park managers, parks department and the Citizens advisory
committee to assess the current park amenities, the desires of the park
users, and develop a planning document that aids the county with
future park development projects.

JOE LUCHT, PLA
ANDERSON PROJECT MANAGER | SENIOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
Overview
Joe will be the project manager from the Anderson team working in concert with the City of
Corcoran staff to provide landscape architecture and park planning services for multiple park
projects throughout the City. His strong background in park planning and open space design will
provide the City staff an exciting and engaging experience to ensure the City successfully
delivers the parks vision for the community.
Growing up in Delano, MN and now residing in Greenfield, MN, Joe enjoys working on projects
where he lives, works and plays. His insight of the surrounding area will bring exceptional value
for the City from his past and present experiences in the northwest metro communities.
Joe’s philosophy is to engage the City fully to gain a thorough understanding of the program
and expectations which communicates to the project team how the project can be completely
executed on schedule and on budget. Once the project’s program is understood by all involved,
a thorough inventory and analysis of available information that affects the site or scope is
prepared. This process, in concert with locating unique features, viewsheds and unique
opportunities identified during project inventory, begins to create the backdrop for the
program integration. Joe builds off this backdrop with innovations and style that help
distinguish the project, creates spaces that intimately fit within the regional and local context,
and presents a comfortable environment with a sense of place.
Project Management Experience
For the past 8 years, Joe has been a
project manager for Anderson. He has
managed and successfully delivered
over 100 projects with construction
budgets ranging from $20,000 to $30
Million. His vast knowledge of the
industry will provide the City with

Relative Experience
Skye Meadows Park Master Plan | Rogers, MN
Role: Project Manager/Sr. Landscape Architect
Construction Budget: $1 Million
Within the fast-growing City of Rogers, Joe supported the city by master
planning a 15-acre neighborhood park as part of the developer’s park
dedication requirements for a new single family residential neighborhood. The
park includes 2 - 5 and 5 - 12-year-old playgrounds, picnic shelter, sport court
and both bituminous and aggregate trails that meander through and around
mature trees and wetlands and connect to an adjacent city-wide trail system.
Joe is currently working with the City of Rogers to develop construction
documents, facilitate public bidding and provide construction administration
services to successfully deliver this project.
Lions Park Improvements | Rogers, MN
Role: Project Manager/Sr. Landscape Architect
Construction Costs: $750,000
The City of Rogers Lions Park is located near downtown Rogers centralized
location for community gatherings. Joe worked closely with the City of Rogers
to develop this premier amenity for the community that includes formal garden
space to host outdoor weddings, stage with synthetic turf, dining area, gas
fireplace and new trails that connects to a city-wide trail system. Joe provided
conceptual drawings with preliminary construction cost estimates to present
to the city council, developed construction documents, facilitated public
bidding and actively involved through construction.
Shiloh Athletic and Arts Complex and Scheels Sports Complex | Bismarck, ND
Role: Landscape Architect
Construction Costs: Shiloh $8.9M, Scheels $10M
While employed by his previous employer in Bismarck, ND, Mr. Lucht provided
design services for two separate athletic complexes adjacent to each other;
Shiloh Athletic and Arts Complex and Scheels Sports Complex. To
accommodate Bismarck’s growing community during the “oil boom” in 2011,
both Shiloh Christian School and Bismarck Parks and Recreation District
developed two state of the art sports complexes providing a destination for
community and statewide members for youth competitive sports.
Joe’s involvement included developing master plan concepts for these two facilities and construction document preparation for
public bidding. These sports complexes challenged Joe by providing multi-level spectator viewing areas of the synthetic baseball
and football fields at Shiloh and accommodating proper grading and space for stormwater management within both sites.
Vehicular circulation and parking for both these sites was also critical for the success of this project by providing safe and accessible
parking and drop off sites for buses and vehicles.

Territory Development Parks and Trails | Credit River Township, MN
Role: Landscape Architect
Estimated Construction Costs: $2 Million
Just south of Prior Lake and west of Lakeville is the home of a 700+ acre residential
community nestled within the Minnesota prairie landscape. Like the natural beauty
of the City of Corcoran, the vision for this neighborhood is to maintain the serene
native prairie landscape setting by positioning roadways, residential lots, trails and
parks to fit within the land so views of the native prairie remain open.
Joe supported the Territory HOA with master planning and construction documents
for private bidding for a new park that included a tot-lot, a combination
baseball/soccer field, warming house, outdoor hockey rink, sport court, trails and

page 10
Park administration is a balance of ongoing maintenance needs, park improvements
and occasionally evaluating expansion opportunities. Funding can be limited, desired
improvements may be numerous, and there may be conflicting or safety issues.
Anderson strongly promotes the development of master plans for complex projects or
expansions as a road map to unify and achieve the final vision. We work with public
and private clients to unify their vision that can be accomplished in multiple phases,
ensuring the most efficient completion of each phase with minimal and costly rework,
and full confidence that there will be minimal backpedaling or second guessing if the
ultimate vision will be achieved.
Anderson’s approach to master planning has been successful in balancing stakeholder
input by starting the process with 2 draft concept plans and opinion of cost to discuss
at a concept review meeting. The two different concepts are independent attempts to
inventory existing amenities, spatially layout desired improvements, address
conflicting uses, and present a final view of what the project could look like. During the
concept review meeting with stakeholders, we present the concepts and opinions of
cost for each improvement. The result of these meetings is a selection by the
stakeholders on which components of the two concepts are preferred.
Following the concept review meeting, Anderson synthesizes the selected
components from the 2 concepts into a final concept/master plan with a revised
opinion of cost. We will also begin to breakdown the master plan into proposed phases
and costs if the budget demands. Once completed, we facilitate a phasing review
meeting to present the final master plan, phasing plan and opinions of cost. Sometimes
this is as far as we go as our clients use the plan to budget and secure funding. Other
times our clients are ready to proceed with one or more phases of construction and we
proceed with preparing construction documents.
Anderson’s first step in construction document preparation is to solidify the scope of
work and construction budget. The second step is to develop a schedule that
encompasses the client’s needs through construction. This approach forecasts the
number plan reviews, meetings, permitting, potential funding source milestones,
optimum bidding timeline and when the completed project is to be delivered. The
third and final step is to execute step one and two through construction.
Critical issues of concern in preparation of master planning and design services include
making sure infrastructure is designed, functional, and cost effective. Phasing plans will
ensure there is low risk of reworking previous phases and spending resources twice on
improvements. By providing thoroughly thought through high quality of designs that
are practical and cost effective, the approach is to deliver projects that are enjoyable
by the current and future users, constructable, and maintainable by City staff.

SAMPLE PLAN REVIEW SCHEDULE BY PHASE
Because project scope and milestones vary, the below sample plan review schedule is correlated to a similar scope to the City
Park Remaster Project. Duration from Project Kickoff through the delivery of Construction Documents including plan reviews is
144 calendar days.
PHASE 1 – PROJECT KICKOFF AND SITE INVESTIGATIONS: 36 CALENDAR DAYS
The project will begin with a kickoff meeting and site investigations. This phase will include a site visit with analysis of the project
area existing conditions, photo documentation, and other investigations to fully understand the site.
» TASK 1.1 - PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING: We want to be a partner assisting the City of Corcoran to complete their
park projects and provide ample opportunity for city involvement. Our initial kickoff meeting will introduce team
members, City staff and stakeholders. It will provide an opportunity for our team to learn more about the project
from key staff members, and have initial questions answered. The goals for the project will be discussed and
confirmed, and we will present a project schedule and process for project completion.
DURATION: 1 Day
» TASK 1.2 – EXISTING CONDITIONS STUDIES: To fully understand the existing conditions of the project site,
investigations such as a topographic and utility survey or geotechnical investigations may be required. This will be
determined during the project kickoff meeting based on the team’s discussions with the City staff and visual
assessment of the project area. Additional studies including potential platting or easements, traffic, wetland
delineation, environmental assessments, and similar will be identified if necessary.
DURATION: 30 Days
» TASK 1.3 – SITE INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS: Our site analysis is an important step to fully understanding the existing
conditions. We will walk the site, observe and photograph important features, understand the complex circulation
and visitor amenity needs, and visually assess opportunities and constraints to the site. We will review the
topographic survey of the project area to map all existing conditions and natural features, significant trees, tree lines,
watercourses, site features, cultural resources, structures, public and private utilities, and topographic data and
analyze the site.
DURATION: 5 Days
PHASE 2 – SCHEMATIC DESIGN | MASTER PLAN: 37 CALENDAR DAYS
This phase will develop concepts based on the kick-off meetings discussions with city staff and stakeholders, existing conditions
studies and analysis.
» TASK 2.1 – CONCEPT PLAN DEVELOPMENT: Armed with real world information, the design program will be layered
onto the survey base drawing. With accurate survey data and additional investigative studies (if required), the
design team will prepare two concepts with opinion of cost to present to City staff and stakeholders.
DURATION: 15 DAYS
» TASK 2.2 – CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW MEETING: As part of the concept plan process, we will meet with city staff and
stakeholders to present investigative findings, analysis, two concept plans and opinion of cost. City staff,
stakeholders and the project team will select the preferred components of the two concepts.
DURATION: 5 DAYS for city review, 1 DAY for review meeting
page 25
approach
» TASK 2.3 – FINAL MASTER PLAN | SCHEMATIC DESIGN: Based on the results of the concept plan review meeting, the
project team will solidify the design based on the selection of preferred components and show a comprehensive
master plan, with potential phasing, and update the opinion of cost. If desired by the City, the final master plan may
include additional sketches or product photographs to the convey the design intent.
DURATION: 10 DAYS
» TASK 2.4 – PHASING REVIEW MEETING: To complete the master planning process, we will meet with city staff and
stakeholders to present the final master plan with initial phasing displays and opinion of cost. Phasing, if required,
will be discussed and altered if needed based on the City’s needs of the project. The design team will not proceed
to the next phase of design until the City has approved the master plan direction.
DURATION: 5 DAYS for city review, 1 DAY for review meeting
PHASE 3 – DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: 41 CALENDAR DAYS
» TASK 3.1 – PLAN DEVELOPMENT: Our first step will be to confirm that any changes and phasing requested by the
city during the phasing review meeting have been incorporated into our drawings. We will then advance the design
of the proposed improvements. The project team will begin to design specific elements of the project including a
strategy for erosion control and stormwater management to meet Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission
requirements, site clearing and removals, geometric layout plans, grading and drainage plans, utility plans,
architectural floor plans including MEP and structural designs and details for construction. An opinion of cost will
also be prepared at this time.
DURATION: 30 DAYS
» TASK 3.2 – DESIGN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW MEETING: Once the design development plans are complete, we will
coordinate a meeting final meeting with city staff to review the design. Our project team will discuss the major
design elements, decisions, changes from schematic design and review the opinion of cost with City staff. City
review comments and concerns will be addressed and final decisions for the project will be made.
DURATION: 10 DAYS for city review, 1 DAY for review meeting
PHASE 4 – CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, SPECIFICATIONS, PERMITTING AND BIDDING: 70 CALENDAR DAYS
The design team will prepare Construction Documents utilizing input from the final review meeting. The permitting process
will also begin.
» TASK 4.1 – PREPARE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: The project team will assemble the fully engineered final
construction documents and specifications in preparation for bidding. Plans and specifications will be fully detailed
for clarity during the bidding and construction phases. Also, a final opinion of cost will be prepared. The design
team will submit a preliminary set of drawings and specifications to the City for review and comment prior issuing
signed documents.
DURATION: 30 DAYS, 10 DAYS for city review
» TASK 4.2 – PROJECT PERMITTING: The project team will prepare all necessary permitting documents and applications
for the project. We anticipate the project will require a permit from Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission,
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the City of Corcoran and Minnesota DNR. Depending upon findings earlier in the
project, permitting for some of these agencies may begin earlier than Phase 4 to ensure the permit is in hand prior to
construction.
DURATION: N/A, executed during Task 4.1 or earlier.

Re: Qualifications for Master Park Planning and Design Services
Dear Ms. Christensen Buck and Members of the Review Committee:
Since HKGi’s establishment in 1982, park, trail, and open space
planning has been one of the firm’s core services. We have
completed more than thirty park and recreation system plans and
needs assessments in the past decade and have worked with dozens
of communities throughout the state and the Twin Cities region
to develop park and trail master plans and design and complete
hundreds of park improvement projects. The knowledge we have
gained about park and recreation trends, best practices, funding
strategies, and construction costs informs our work and enhances
our ability to provide clients with action-oriented parks plans and
parks improvement projects.
HKGi emphasizes outstanding client service and a collaborative
approach that takes inspiration from the ideas and knowledge of
community members. We believe in listening to stakeholders as
they share their ideas and their hopes for the future, then we use our
knowledge and skills to develop plans, designs, and implementation
strategies that will help them achieve their future vision for their
parks, trails, and open spaces.
This approach has enabled us to build strong working relationships
with communities throughout the region. We have organized this
qualifications statement to highlight a few of those clients and
the park planning and design work we have conducted for those
communities.
We appreciate the opportunity to be considered for this project,
and we are excited at the potential to serve the City. I will serve as
HKGi’s Project Manager for this proposal. If you have any questions
about our qualifications or would like to speak in more detail about
Corcoran and its parks initiatives, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle Grinde

A. FIRM INTRODUCTION
We value long-lasting client community relationships
For more than forty years HKGi has supported client communities in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest to
create lasting places for people to live, work, and play. HKGi’s landscape architects and planners share their
park design and planning expertise and passion with clients striving to envision and create quality places. Our
project managers provide responsive and professional leadership necessary to ensure that projects stay on
schedule, on budget, and are delivered to the client’s highest standards.
We are comprehensive in our approach
Our comprehensive community-centered approach to park planning and design provides long-term strategic
services that are responsive, collaborative, thoughtful and practical. We begin by listening and engaging,
learning how to best fit our process and solutions to fit the needs of the community. We take what we’ve
learned and develop strategic frameworks, park system plans, and resource management tools to establish
and guide a comprehensive approach to the development of a community’s recreation system. This ensures
resources are maximized and outcomes for stakeholders are optimized by developing plans and tools that are
grounded in a community’s needs, financial realities, operational demands, and long-term sustainability goals.
We are engaged and collaborative
Being thorough and thoughtful from the outset enables us to craft tailored solutions that leverage strategic
planning and incorporate stakeholder input into projects fitting the financial demands and operational
realities of our client communities. We are collaborators at our core, striving to be flexible, and responsive
to our clients and the communities we serve. We develop implementation strategies with our clients and
strategically select design partners to fit the specific requirements of projects and the stakeholders they serve.
We are responsive and adaptive
Our firm’s people, structure, and the depth and breadth of our planning and design experience allows us to
anticipate and provide timely solutions to the unique challenges our clients face. We revel in the challenges
posed by an evolving world and strive to be at the leading edge of design and recreation trends, and
operational demands. With an ever-expanding portfolio of design and planning services, we are continually
seeking to meet the dynamic needs of our clients by creating tailored solutions that are specific to the needs
of each community.

Client: City of Maple Grove, Minnesota
Featured Project: Gleason Athletic Fields Complex Feasibility Study, Design,
Construction Documentation and Administration
HKGi conducted a feasibility study
for reconfiguring the athletic
fields at Gleason Fields and
subsequently worked with the
City, community members, and
user groups to identify a preferred
concept and improvements to
create a tournament-quality
baseball and softball complex.
Thanks to neighborhood
residents, what initially began
as an effort to improve the playability and durability of the athletic fields also
became a larger initiative to improve the park’s ability to serve nearby families
and residents with neighborhood park amenities. In addition to a new premier
baseball diamond and improved baseball and softball fields, improvements
include new pickleball courts, basketball courts, play area, and concessions/
picnic facilities. Mature trees were preserved and relocated and a berm that
will double as a sledding hill was built to buffer homes from activities at the
ballfields. Skating and hockey rinks will be expanded.

B. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Client: City of Otsego
Featured Project: Carricks Landing Concept Plan and Design (Grant funded)
HKGi provided the City
of Otsego with concept
planning services for
the development of
a paddle launch on
the Mississippi River
at Carrick’s Landing
Park. Initial planning
included the creation
of a development
concept to identify
the best location
for the launch and
explore potential
configurations. HKGi
continued its work on the next implementation phases, including schematic
design assistance with grant writing to help fund the improvement project.

provide access to the riverfront; a new shelter; wayfinding signage; benches; a
new connection from the parking lot to the landing; and a floating dock.
5 Proposal - Master Park Planning & Design - City of Corcoran
< For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide
Client: City of St. Francis
Featured Projects: Park & Trail System Plan & Community Park Master Plan
As part of its services to the City of St. Francis, HKGi worked with staff and
community members to develop a park system plan that will guide the City
as it seeks to enhance its park system while the city grows. HKGi compiled an
inventory of St. Francis’ park and trail assets and conducted a needs assessment
that included benchmarking against neighboring peer communities and national
park and recreation standards. Preliminary parks and trails mapping developed
by HKGi established a data-driven foundation for the system plan.
As part of the planning process, HKGi’s landscape architects also created a
replacement and budget schedule and developed concept plans for three
community and neighborhood parks: Community Park, Hidden Ponds Park, and
Woodbury Park. Subsequent planning included creating a more detailed master
plan for Community Park. This process included a feasibility study and refined
concept planning. HKGi also produced 3D renderings to help illustrate critical
park improvements.
Client: City of Chaska
Featured Project: Veterans Park Design, Construction Documentation and
Administration
HKGi worked with the City of
Chaska and VFW Post #1731 to
develop a new park that pays
tribute to service members yet
also respects those members’
desire for the park to be a
welcoming place people come
together.
HKGi’s concept included several
remembrance-themed features including a Service Plaza and a Coin Check
display that will allow veterans to share their stories. A Memorial Grove of
Serviceberry trees leads to the Remembrance Clearing, whose dramatically lit
sculptures will be visible from Fireman’s Park on the other side of the lake. Play
elements include a picnic lawn, horseshoe pits, archery range, and an obstacle
course-themed play area.
Because of the unique nature of several of the park’s furnishings and features,
HKGi conducted a substantial amount of research, worked with vendors to
custom-design and fabricate memorial and display elements, and coordinated
with construction and installation contractors to ensure the final product
remained true to the initial concepts and spirit of the park.

Client: City of Prior Lake
Featured Project: Lakefront Park Master Plan & Watzl’s Beach Concept Plan
Lakefront Park is a popular
park near downtown and
Lower Prior Lake that offers
something for just about
everyone. The 126-acre park
features trails and a beach to
a bandstand and lots of play
and athletic facilities. The City
retained HKGi in fall of 2021
to conduct a master planning
process to help City leaders understand what park improvements residents and
stakeholders would like to see and to identify potential costs to replace aging
facilities and reconfigure elements that no longer function effectively.
The 24 improvement initiatives outlined in the plan include a mix of new
program elements, improvements and upkeep of existing facilities, and
some reorganizing of the park’s layout to address issues such as accessibility
and conflicting uses in proximity to one another. Some of the more notable
recommendations include enhanced amenities at Watzl’s Beach, public access
docks, new pickleball/tennis courts, an inclusive playground, a new splash pad,
a new and relocated skate park, a new winter warming house in a reorganized
winter activity area, and a new disc golf course.

Client: City of Chanhassen
Featured Project: Park System and Asset Management Plan
2018 MN APA Excellence in Community Engagement Award
As the city entered its next phase of
development, staff wanted to take a
comprehensive look at their parks and
recreation system and identify guidelines for
growing and maintaining the system. HKGi
was retained to lead the community through
its first system wide planning process.
HKGi assessed current conditions, including
identifying levels of access, distribution
of facilities, and gaps in the system. The
planning process also addressed the City’s
desire to establish a new set of guiding
principles that will provide a framework for
future decision-making and measuring the
success of implementation initiatives. Among several key outcomes, the high
level of community participation and support for the parks system inspired the
City Council to designate maintenance and enhancement of parks and trails as
a key funding priority for future budgets. This priority funding has enabled the
City to budget for annual playground replacements to ensure that aging and
worn equipment is cycled out and replaced by new equipment.
7 Proposal - Master Park Planning & Design - City of Corcoran
<Align image to this guide
Qualifications
Gabrielle has worked in a project management role with many
growing municipalities, including the cities of Otsego, Maple
Grove, Farmington, Prior Lake, and several growing counties,
including Sherburne, Wright, Rice, and Stearns. Over the past 15
years, most of Gabrielle’s work has been managing park system
planning and park master planning projects for cities and counties
in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She has led engagement processes,
facilitated public and stakeholder meetings, and presented at city
and county board, commission, and council meetings. Her role
on projects has included overall project management, managing
client and stakeholder communication, writing reports, and
developing maps and graphics, and presenting project findings
and recommendations in public meetings.
Gabrielle is a skilled project manager with the ability to understand
processes from planning to funding to design and construction.
Her excellent listening and communication skills are valuable
on complex projects where many stakeholders are involved in
order to keep track of key dates and tasks. Maintaining flexibility
and being responsive are services that HKGi will provide to the
city of Corcoran. Her value to client communities is exemplified
by the number of long-standing clients that she has developed
over her career. People like working with her because she is a
responsive and clear communicator, and holds her work to very
high standards.
HKGi has intentionally not included any specific project partners as
part of our team for this proposal. We are doing that because our
approach to project delivery includes aligning our team for each
project that provides the best product and value for our client
communities. Regarding a need for engineering or architectural
support, HKGi maintains working relationships with many local
Architects and Engineering firms that provide teaming options for
us depending on the project scale and budget. Our approach for
any of your park or trail improvement projects is to work with City
staff to add skills and expertise to a design team that complement
our landscape architecture and planning services, and bring the
best value to the design process. Knowing that Stantec is the City
Engineer for Corcoran, we are glad to consider their support to the
design team if the City sees them as an efficient project partner.
We have successfully teamed on many other park improvement
projects with them and have always had a great working
relationship with their staff. We have also worked with Stantec on
several community park and trail projects.

Related Project Experience
Prior Lake Lakefront Park Master Plan
Gabrielle managed the design and planning process
for Prior Lake’s signature community park, including
facilitating an Advisory Committee, coordinating
design recommendations, and presenting at City
Council meetings. The process incorporated input
from over 2,000 residents in the city through online
and in-person engagement methods. Facilities
included in the master plan include a new signature
playground and splashpad, pickleball courts, a new
hockey rink and potential ice-skating ribbon, a new
park pavilion, athletic fields, trails, and lakefront
and beach improvements. The master plan includes
detailed cost estimates, phasing strategies, and
detailed park improvement recommendations with
3D renderings of proposed park improvements.
Otsego Park System and Individual
Parks Master Planning
In Otsego, Gabrielle has managed several park
planning and design processes over the past five
years, beginning with a comprehensive, city-wide
park and trail system plan, which included several
specific recommendations, phasing, and cost
estimates for follow up projects. The follow up
projects have included design and implementation
of pickleball courts at Prairie Park, splashpad
improvements at Prairie Park, river access planning
and design at two locations along the Mississippi
River, grant writing and the successful award of
a DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant for river access
improvements at Carrick’s Landing Park, and
development of a park wayfinding and signage
plane with implementation of phase one signs
in Prairie Park. Gabrielle has worked with the
city’s Parks and Recreation Commission and the
City Council to present and facilitate discussions
regarding park planning and design projects.

Farmington Jim Bell Park Master Plan,
Park System Analysis, and Rambling
River Park Master Plan:
Gabrielle managed three park planning and design
projects for the city of Farmington, starting with
the Jim Bell Park Master Plan in 2022. Gabrielle
led an Advisory Committee through a process
of evaluating existing conditions, gathering and
interpreting public and stakeholder input, and
developing a concept for new roads, parking lots,
ballfields, an amphitheater, pickleball courts, hockey
rinks, a playground and splashpad, trails, and a park
pavilion. After detailed engineering analysis of the
proposed concept estimated a $20 million cost for
all new facilities, City Council directed the consultant
team to conduct an evaluation of the city’s park
system to determine if there were existing parks
where new facilities could be incorporated. Gabrielle
led the HKGi team in a park and trail system asset
management analysis, which analyzed existing
and potential future funding for proposed projects
throughout the system. An outcome of the park
system analysis included a master planning process
for the city’s main community park: Rambling River
Park. Gabrielle managed the Rambling River Park
Master Plan process, which included a fast-paced
and comprehensive community and stakeholder
engagement process, site analysis, concept
exploration, and creation of a detailed schematic
plan with associated phasing and cost estimates
to guide the city in the next phase of project
implementation.
Wright County Great River Regional
Trail Master Plan
Gabrielle worked with the Wright County parks
department to develop a master plan for regional
designation of the Great River Regional Trail, a
30-mile non-motorized trail corridor along the
Mississippi River. The planning process involved a
project team with multiple city partners, online and
in-person public engagement, a detailed evaluation
of land ownership, adjacencies, connections,
viewsheds, topography, cost considerations, and
cultural interpretation. The comprehensive plan
document identifies several segments of proposed
trail development along with an innovative bike-
paddle loop with key connections to canoe/kayak
opportunities on the river. Detailed cost estimates
and phasing provide the county with a strong plan
for implementation. The plan was successful in
achieving regional designation, and portions of the
trail have been constructed since its adoption.
One of two concepts being evaluated for the Rambling River Park
activity areas.
The GRRT Master Plan included renderings and a fly-through video
to illustrate the intended character of the trail (top). Destinations
in the three communities along the trail were mapped to aid the
communities in understanding the potential economic impact of
the trail (bottom).

Collaborate
Our approach to park master planning and design
services combines the expertise of our landscape
architects, planners, and park designers with
the energy, knowledge and ideas of community
stakeholders. The concepts and ideas that emerge
from this process result in great places that offer the
community great outdoor experiences.
All of our projects begin with a kick off meeting to
review the proposed project schedule, expectations
for communication and engagement, and our role
as the consultant. Our goal is to keep projects on
schedule and work with the city to lead or support
in the role that is desired. We remain responsive
and attentive to the needs of a project, and we will
suggest modifications to the schedule, process, or
work scope as needed to ensure a high quality final
product that meets the city’s objectives.

The kick-off meeting can include a site or a system tour. The kick-off
meeting is an opportunity for HKGi to begin the learning process
by talking with city staff about its potential needs, challenges, and
opportunities. The kick-off meeting is also used to confirm project
schedules, roles and responsibilities, and preferred methods of
communications and coordination.
18 Approach
Listen
Our park and trail master planning processes
incorporate meaningful public input opportunities
for residents and existing park users to help
us evaluate ideas and determine which park
improvements best fit the needs and desires of the
community. Site visits and site analysis with city staff
and key stakeholders enable us to use the inherent
strengths of the site as the basis for the final Master
Plan. Building a plan that responds to input also
ensures that it will have a strong foundation of
community support.
We utilize several online and in-person engagement
tools to match the needs of each project. Online
surveys and interactive mapping software are
valuable tools for soliciting public input on parks
and trails use and ideas for improvements. In-person
and virtual stakeholder meetings and interviews
help us learn important background information
about concerns or conflicts that need to be
addressed through the planning process.
Our graphically engaging outreach materials (flyers,
postcards, social media graphics, and yard signs) are
designed to brand the planning and design process
and build excitement in the community. We also
write press releases and other project summaries
to convey the appropriate information to public
officials, stakeholders, and community members.
We understand the importance of providing the
public with information that will set expectations for
potentially complex processes for implementation.
Public engagement is critical, but providing clear, concise
summaries of input collected from stakeholders is just as
important. HKGi designs engagement summaries that staff
and city leaders can use to demonstrate community support for
investments in the parks and recreation system. The online tools
HKGi uses (top) also enable people to review input in greater detail.
19 Proposal - Master Park Planning & Design - City of Corcoran
Explore
HKGi’s typical park master planning and design
processes include the development of two to
three concept plans, which are evaluated by the
project team, city staff, stakeholders, and the
public, as appropriate. We use the inventory and
needs assessment (existing survey data, GIS layers,
photographs, site visit information, community
input, etc.) to lay the groundwork for these concepts.
Our process of exploration may include design
workshops or charrettes where client and consultant
representatives meet to capture ideas on paper.
Working quickly and intensely, we can develop
several conceptual ideas for a park site. These
ideas are then refined and tested in more detail to
discover which concepts rise to the top.
HKGi has developed detailed asset management
tools for several city and county clients over the past
ten years. We tailor the tool to the client based on
existing data and desired use of the tool. Utilizing
Excel spreadsheets and GIS data, we will develop a
detailed cost breakdown of capital, operations, and
replacement costs needed for the next 10-20 years.
Compounded inflation, design and engineering, and
soft costs can be included to give a full picture of
funding needed to maintain a parks and trail system
and to enhance it with new facilities. By identifying
projects and tying funding and timelines to the
existing and future assets, we can help the city
make informed decisions about future projects and
investments.
3D renderings are a great way to generate excitement about park
improvement projects. They also enable the design team to test
different ideas or concepts to understand how they might function
or look upon implementation.
20 Approach
Create
Since we have the in-house knowledge and
experience of all phases of planning and design, we
can seamlessly transition a project from planning
all the way through construction. Our landscape
architects work on the ground and in the field to
review project schedules, solicit bids, and conduct
construction administration. Our approach to
the implementation and construction of projects
focuses on the intent of the original plans, ensuring
the details of the project will work together and
result in a space that will be built correctly and
provide excellent experiences for all who visit.
We will review the proposed 30% design for the City
Park remaster to ensure the desired park program
is incorporated in an efficient and effective design.
Initially we will look broadly at the park program
and discuss with staff the ideas within the context
of trends and future recreation demands for the
City. HKGi has extensive experience in helping cities
understand future demand related to sports facilities
and will leverage that knowledge in the assessment
of the current design program for the park. After
confirming the park program, we will review the
parking demand for the proposed program and
work with engineering to incorporate creative
approaches to site layout, grading, and stormwater
management. The features and amenities within the
park should provide access for all park users, work
well for city operations and maintenance staff, offer
flexibility in layout for seasonal variations and all
potential events and activities, and be built to last.
As part of our implementation strategy, we will
collaborate with staff to determine the best delivery
method for the proposed park elements, including
potentially leveraging a vendor-based approach
to park buildings and structures like pavilions and
playgrounds. We have found that this approach can
often more efficiently provide the implementation
of specific park features, by leveraging vendor-based
design and engineering of the components as
opposed to having the consulting team conduct all
of the design and engineering tasks.
Gleason Fields Athletic Complex in Maple Grove, seen here at
the ribbon cutting event in summer 2023, is a tournament-level
ballfield complex. The ballfields all feature covered seating as
in the example of the premiere field shown above. The park also
features several neighborhood park amenities to ensure that the
park remains a neighborhood gathering place. More details about
Gleason Fields are included on page 4.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR MASTER PARK PLANNING AND DESIGN SERVICES
Dear Jessica Christensen Buck and Members of the Selection Committee:
The City of Corcoran is experiencing a period of intense growth that will create opportunities for new parks and recreation facilities
and will require upgrades to existing parks. City Park, which is the City’s crown jewel, is the perfect location to add new recreation
amenities that are desired by current and future residents. An important park like City Park, deserves the best planning that will help
the City through the first phase of the redevelopment to create a highly functional park that will benefit the entire community. New
neighborhoods, like Bellwether, need to be connected to the larger trail network that has been planned through Corcoran, including
local and regional trails. An important component of the Bellwether development is to create pedestrian access to the new recreation
facility, and a boardwalk across the wetland adjacent to the facility will provide the most efficient access for residents.
The successful planning and implementation of this work will demand a seasoned and experienced team, one that City staff can trust
and with whom they can collaborate to develop the City Park remaster plan, and prepare final design and bidding to complete the
project within the desired timeframe of summer 2024. Equally important is the ability to develop plans for the boardwalk in the Bell-
wether Neighborhood so construction can commence during the winter of 2024, when conditions are perfect for building boardwalks.
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. (SRF), is excited to be part of this project, and we have assembled an experienced team of landscape
architects, planners, structural, civil and water resource engineers to undertake this multi-phase planning and design effort.
SRF’s planning approach focuses on the following key areas:
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE | The SRF team includes technical park design, municipal and structural skill sets that can evaluate the
current site conditions to ensure proposed concepts are implementable for the City. Our Team of multidisciplinary professionals has
worked collaboratively on many park and trail projects, and we understand what is needed to implement park updates, new trails
and boardwalks in sensitive areas.
COST-EFFECTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS | As part of the planning process, the SRF team will refine the existing 30 percent plan
for City Park in a way that maximizes the City’s return on investment in the short term and minimizes maintenance needs in the
long term. For the Bellwether boardwalk project, SRF has recent experience in designing and administering construction for similar
boardwalks and will be able to provide the City with realistic and achievable cost estimates that will benefit the bidding process for
the construction phase.
PROCESS AND COMMUNICATION | We are committed to working closely with the City of Corcoran staff during all phases of planning,
design, and construction. Communication is the key to every assignment, reinforcing the trust and support needed to successfully
design – and implement – park development efforts.
ENTHUSIASM AND EFFICIENCY | The SRF team will bring enthusiasm and energy to this planning and design effort to make this an
enjoyable process for all stakeholders. We are committed to completing tasks on time with creative, high-quality outcomes.
We look forward to the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the approach we have outlined for undertaking your park
planning and design effort. If you have any questions regarding our proposal, please contact Stewart Crosby at 763.452.4780 or
scrosby@srfconsulting.com. Our team acknowledges the Q/A Addenda posted on September 20, 2023.

Diamond Lake Regional Trail Master Plan
Three Rivers Park District, Minnesota
The Diamond Lake Regional Trail will be a 25-mile-long north/
south trail extending from Lake Minnetonka to the Mississippi
River through central Hennepin County. SRF worked with Three
Rivers Park District for over two years to develop the master plan
for the Diamond Lake Regional Trail. This trail extends through six
communities, including Wayzata, Orono, Medina, Corcoran, Day-
ton, and Rogers. The trail will connect with several other planned
and developed regional trails, Baker Park Reserve and Elm Creek
Park Reserve. SRF conducted extensive public engagement with
outreach geared toward adjacent property owners, underprivi-
leged trail users, and trail users in the surrounding communities.
Complicating matters, the master plan was developed during
the Covid-19 pandemic, so SRF and the Park District facilitated
several online open house and engagement events and met
community members outside along the corridor to receive input.
The Diamond Lake Regional Trail will become a key north-south
trail that will provide exciting off-road recreation opportunities
and transportation options for trail users.
Otsego Neighborhood Parks
Otsego, Minnesota
The City of Otsego is a fast-growing suburban com munity northwest
of Minneapolis. The City’s popula tion and housing growth has spurred
park develop ment to accommodate the influx of new residents.
Recognizing the importance of recreational ameni ties to their
expanding population, the City retained SRF to design three new
neighborhood park facilities. These parks vary in size from five to
seven acres and with both active and passive recreational amenities
that include playgrounds, walking paths, basketball courts, tennis
courts, a picnic pavilion, and athletic fields.
During the design process, SRF emphasized creat ing parks that
support a wide variety of recreational activities and installed
low-maintenance turf and landscape areas to minimize mainte-
nance costs for the City.
City of Corcoran | Master Park Planning and Design Services 4SRF Consulting Group
Avonlea Community Park
Lakeville, Minnesota
The City of Lakeville commissioned SRF to prepare concepts,
schematic grading plan, cost estimates, and assist with commu-
nity engagement for this 40-acre community park. Key amenities
include several grass multi-use green fields, an artificial turf multi-
use field, a premier baseball field, pickleball courts, a destination
play area and splash pad, and restroom/concessions buildings.
Other features include a youth challenge course, adult fitness
equipment, and a lighted loop trail system. The site, located on
Cedar Avenue, provides a central location within the city for youth
tournaments and offers good access for vehicular and pedestrian
circulation. Based on feedback received from staff, community
members, the Park and Recreation Commission, and City Council,
SRF prepared a preferred master plan for the park. SRF will begin
preparing final plans in 2023.
The Lakes Neighborhood & Community Parks
Blaine, Minnesota
In order to meet the needs of a new residential community, several
vacant properties ranging in size from one and seven acres were
dedicated for the development of neighborhood and community
parks. SRF worked with the City of Blaine to develop master plans
for these community and neighborhood park facilities, which will be
integrated with surrounding development and natural amenities.
Several alternative concepts were generated for each park property
and areas were defined for incorporating no-mow turf areas to
minimize maintenance needs. Amenities in each park included
establishment of internal pathway circulation, playgrounds, bas-
ketball courts, informal open lawn areas, and landscaping to
reinforce park edges and entries to each park.
TRPD French Regional Park Creative Play Area
Plymouth, Minnesota
SRF worked closely with Three Rivers Park District staff and a
diverse group of stakeholders, including a fourth-grade class from
a local elementary school, in developing a new destination play
area within this extremely popular regional park. The play area
site, located adjacent to an existing visitor center and parking area,
afforded opportunities to use grade change to provide accessible
circulation to the upper level of the play structure via walls and
elevated ramps. In addition, a berm with decorative rubber safety
surfacing provides access to the ramp system from the lower level
of the play area while providing an accessible transition point
between elements within the upper level. Key features of the
play area include a three-level tower with slides and climbers, an
extensive system of climbing nets, multi-user swings, a sand/water
play node, mist towers, and a playhouse for the 2-5 age group.
The surrounding site includes generous patio spaces with seating,
shade structures, and landscape planting. All circulation routes
comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities

Comprehensive Plan Update
Park, Trail, Recreation, and Open Space Chapter
Plymouth, Minnesota
SRF assisted the City of Plymouth in preparing the Park, Trail, Rec-
reation, and Open Space Chapter of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan:
• Refining the location and sizing of eight neighborhood parks
• Analyzing existing/potential dog park locations
• Developing concepts for enhancing three beaches
• Refining the City’s non-motorized transportation system, including
trails, sidewalks and on-street bicycle facilities
• Developing concepts for three at-grade trail crossings of a
railroad corridor
• Developing concepts for a new special use park and a portion
of Plymouth Creek Park
• Proposing potential initiatives for the City to partner with other
public/privates entities
• Analyzing the need, role and options for public art within the City
• Refining the City’s Northwest Greenway Plan
The Northwest Greenway will use existing parks, wetland buffers,
easements and potential open space acquisitions to create an
ecological and recreational corridor in a primarily rural part of the
city. Portions of the greenway are slated for development within
the 2030 planning horizon, which made current planning crucial
in the preservation and enhancement of this corridor.
SRF worked closely with City staff and elected officials in discuss-
ing alternatives. Subsequently, we made recommendations that
will guide the City in their future acquisition, development, and
preservation efforts.
SRF produced full-color maps of the greenways, existing and pro-
posed parks, trail system, population projections by neighborhood,
and other elements of the planning process. A great majority of
this work was done using GIS, which enabled us to efficiently and
accurately analyze the City’s park, trail, and open space systems.
Northwest Greenway Phase IV Boardwalk
Plymouth, Minnesota
This project continued SRF’s work with the NW Greenway Trail
Bridge over Vicksburg Lane by continuing the trail system west
of the trail bridge. An 861-foot boardwalk was designed to cross
wetlands between Peony Lane and the trail connection where
Phase 3 ended, to the east. SRF provide trail design, grading,
paving, turf establishment, erosion control final design plans.
Our structures team designed a meandering boardwalk and
scenic overlook supported on micropile foundations with timber
pile caps. With the natural environment in mind, designers used
timber framing and decking throughout the boardwalk, lined with
a timber and wire mesh railing.

Project Experience
Nicollet Mall Redesign, Minneapolis, Minnesota. SRF is part of the consultant team developing a vision
and concept for the Nicollet Mall redesign, from Grant Street to Washington Avenue in downtown Minne-
apolis. Steve worked with a national lighting design firm to lead the electrical design aspects, including
power distribution for city street lighting, specialty power pedestals and Metro Transit bus stops. The
lighting includes LED roadway and areaway lighting, aesthetic and accent lighting along with specialty
dynamic color armature lighting. In addition, Steve led the design of fiber optic communications systems
for both Metro Transit bus stops and the specialty lighting control system.
Rice Park Reconstruction, St. Paul, Minnesota. Steve led the design for new lighting and electrical dis-
tribution plan for the reconstruction of Rice Park in St. Paul. The design included updating all the electrical
systems while minimizing above ground facilities and enhancing the lighting with pole mounted, bollard
and holiday lighting functions. The project also included power and communications options for Winter
Carnival, concerts and other events.
12th Avenue Reconstruction, Shakopee Minnesota. SRF performed preliminary and final design for the
reconstruction of 0.6 miles of roadway to change the configuration from a 4-lane undivided roadway to
a 4 lane – divided roadway with curb and gutter, sidewalks, and trails. A roundabout was also designed
for the intersection of 12th Avenue and Vierling Drive. Steve led the lighting design for the roundabout
and roadway.
TH 100/TH 7 Turbidity Monitoring, St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Steve led the design of a measurement
and control system to monitor the water clarity, known as turbidity, at two water outlets near a construc-
tion site. The system uses devices to measure turbidity, rainfall, water depth, and water temperature. All
of these measurements are remotely monitored through a cell modem. The system sends email and text
alerts when the turbidity reaches a certain threshold and included a website for stakeholders to review
real-time data.

City of Corcoran | Master Park Planning and Design Services 16SRF Consulting Group
APPROACH TO PARK DEVELOPMENT
The City of Corcoran’s three park development needs, including
City Park Remaster project, Open Space Parks, and Future Park
Development require three different approaches. The SRF Team
has the capability to provide for all three park development needs,
and we have outlined approaches for each below.
City Park Remaster Project
The City Park Remaster Project includes completing the design
of Phase 1 of the park project and implementing the construction
process to complete several previously identified infrastructure
improvements and user amenities. The City of Corcoran has
developed a 30 percent plan that will be the basis for the design.
The scope for this project will include developing 60 and 90 per-
cent plans, and final plans and specifications, bidding assistance,
and construction administration. To achieve this, the SRF Team
will follow the approach outlined below.
Kick-Off & Site Analysis
To begin the City Park Remaster project, SRF will hold a kick-off
meeting with City Staff to confirm individual roles and responsibili-
ties, the project schedule, and confirm what site analysis elements
are still needed, such as topographic site survey, wetland delinea-
tion and geotechnical analysis. If these elements are required, SRF
has staff that can complete the site survey and wetland delineation.
We will need to contract with an environmental engineering firm
for a geotechnical analysis for building, parking and roadway sites.
Design Development, Affirm 30 Percent Plans
Once the site analysis is complete, SRF will affirm the 30 percent
plan to ensure that it can be constructed as designed. Modifica-
tions to the design may be needed based on new information
learned during the site analysis. The City intends to include new
and updated amenities in the park including parking lots, a park
road, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, a tennis court, six
pickleball courts, hockey rinks, an open skating rink, a splashpad,
a playground, a park building/pavilion, trails and trail amenities,
and landscaping. Some of these elements will require additional
design consultants, such as the splash pad and the park building/
pavilion, and SRF can facilitate obtaining these additional consul-
tants to contract directly with the City or as part of the SRF Team.
An updated 30 percent plan will be developed for City staff review
and approval. We assume that the current design files for the 30
percent plan will be shared with the design team to facilitate the
design process. An updated cost estimate will be prepared at the
30 percent plan level.
Construction Documents
Once the City has approved the updated 30 percent plan, the SRF
Team will move onto final design and developing construction
documents. Final design will include preparation of 60%, 90%
and 100% plan sets, including utility connections, and project
specifications. We will coordinate with the City on additional
specifications, such as front-end specifications that will be needed
for the final bid set. Final cost estimates will be prepared with the
final design and presented to the City for review.
Bidding
The SRF Team is experienced in developing bid documents and
soliciting proposals online through Quest CDN. We will prepare
all bid documents and we will assist the City in preparing for
bidding, including submitting advertisements in local papers or
other venues, as needed. Once bids are received, the SRF Team
will review the apparent low bidder’s proposal and prepare a
letter of recommendation for the City.
Construction Administration
During construction, the SRF Team will lead construction admin-
istration activities. The SRF project manager will be the primary
contact between the contractor and the City, and will coordinate
weekly construction meetings, review materials submittals, review
pay applications, and provide a final punch list once substantial
completion is achieved. We assume that the City will handle material
testing for concrete, aggregate and bituminous materials, but SRF
can facilitate hiring a testing firm this service at an additional cost.
SRF can also assist the City in communicating with residents and
nearby businesses during construction to keep interested parties
updated in the project’s progress.
The following preliminary schedule outlines the process we will
undertake to complete design development, construction docu-
ments, bidding and construction to meet the City’s timeline for
developing City Park.

City of Corcoran | Master Park Planning and Design Services 18SRF Consulting Group
Open Space Parks
The Bellwether and Ravinia developments, which are currently
under construction, will require park and trail planning services. The
SRF Team is familiar with these developments, as we completed
the Diamond Lake Regional Trail Master Plan for Three Rivers Park
District, and we are currently identifying locations for a future trail
grade-separated-crossing under CSAH 116 near Hunter’s Ridge.
Our knowledge of the area, and our experience developing parks
and trails for similar developments will allow the SRF Team to bring
immediate value to the City for park master planning services.
Planning for the Bellwether Development is the first priority, and
we propose creating a Project Advisory Committee (PAC) to help
guide the planning process for parks and trails. Committee mem-
bers may include City staff, representatives from the developer,
current residents, and Elm Creek Watershed District (ECWD) staff.
Working with the PAC, the SRF Team will hold a series of up to
four meetings to introduce the park planning process, develop
up to two park concept alternatives, and refine the alternatives
into a preferred concept plan based on PAC input. SRF’s structural
engineers will be included in the planning process to share insight
on boardwalk design for the Bellwether Park and Trail plan. We
have designed and administered construction for several similar
boardwalks in Maple Grove and Plymouth in recent years and are
familiar with ECWD requirements and can provide current pricing
for boardwalk development.
A similar process can be developed for the Ravinia Development,
once that project is underway.
Future Park Development
Corcoran is growing rapidly, and future development will expand
the City’s residential, retail, and light industrial footprint. The Parks
and Trails Chapter in Corcoran’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan nicely
lays out the City’s plan for developing recreational amenities as the
city grows. The plan identifies park and trail development within
the 2040 Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) boundary and
has a separate strategy for parks and trails outside this area. This
plan will help Corcoran focus park and trail development where
it is needed most in the next several years.
The SRF Team has experience developing park and trail master
plans for neighborhood parks, community parks, and trails and
parkways. Our experience working in developing communities will
allow us to consider important connections between Corcoran’s
existing developments and new projects, creating linkages to
proposed regional trails and Corcoran’s local trail network.
The proposed Bellwether boardwalk will extend across this wetland to connect both sides of the neighborhood.

overlook area, dedicated canoe / kayak launch on the Mississippi River, a new restroom building, and
large stormwater pond connected to the City storm sewer system, which slows and treats runoff
from a 300-acre area of Brooklyn Park. Since the project lies on the banks of the Mississippi River,
agency stakeholders were identified early in the process to develop design solutions that meet the

Park & Trail System Master Plan | Owatonna, MN
CLIENT: CITY OF OWATONNA
PROJECT DURATION: OCT 2018 - JAN 2020
Jason served as the project manager and lead planner for this citywide park and trail system master
plan. This was the first system plan prepared for this growing and diverse city. Our public engagement
strategy included a range of opportunities for the community to interact with the planning team,
including open house meetings, pop up booths at local events, face to face interviews, online
engagement, and phone calls/email. The information gained and compared with participation data
and recreational standards provided meaningful public ‘buy in’ during the process.

PROJECT DURATION: JUL 2015 - NOV 2019
This project began as a master plan / needs assessment / feasibility study that evolved into several
phases of design and implementation. Jason served as project manager and lead designer for the
entire process from initial kick-off meeting, community engagement, and master-planning, through
final design, bidding / contractor procurement, and construction oversight, inspections, staking,
and testing for the first two phases. Proposed full buildout of this 115-acre site is estimated to cost
$18 million and will support current and future recreation needs within the local community and
broader region. The project is currently 20% implemented in alignment with budget and schedule.
Parks, Trail & Open Space System Master Plan | Coon Rapids, MN
CLIENT: CITY OF COON RAPIDS
PROJECT DURATION: FEB 2012 - JAN 2013
Jason was the project manager and lead planner. While the project was not initially viewed as a high
priority politically, the thoughtful public engagement process we led quickly revealed the diverse
community’s needs. The project was overwhelmingly embraced by the public, city staff, and the
policy makers which led to a successful bond referendum that helped fund major improvements
throughout their system. Jason was involved in the city’s original system planning effort completed
in 2001 and has continued to serve the community for more than two decades with athletic studies,
individual park master plans, and final design of the majority of their new and redeveloped parks.

APPROACH TO PARK DEVELOPMENT
City Project Design Services
Our landscape architecture group is a leader in park
and recreation design, and has designed parks, trails
and associated facilities for countless municipalities
througout the upper Midwest. We have partnered
with Alliiance Architects for any building architectural
requirements to provide a comprehensive team
of professionals well prepared to lead the City of
Corcoran through the development of new and
improved park spaces, as the City continues to
grow and evolve. We have partnered with Alliiance
Architects many times in the past and have developed
a seamless process of collaboration that has resulted
in successful outcomes for our clients.
Project Understanding
Our team has reviewed the RFPQ, is familiar with the City of Corcoran, and have a solid understanding of this exciting
project. This park master planning process will guide the future redevelopment of City Park, open space parks in the
Bellweather and Ravinia developments, as well as other future parks and trails throughout the City of Corcoran. With
demographics that continue to grow and evolve, it is anticipated that changes to how existing parks are used and the
addition of new parks will bring new opportunities to the community. Our team will ensure that park design is based
on both current and projected needs and trends.
Our team appreciates the City’s commitment and approach to preparing this Park Planning and design project. Our
team recognizes and shares your passion for parks and recreation and the value it provides communities. Our past
projects have been highly regarded by our clients as being visionary and implementable, with community support for
improvements. Many of our past planning efforts have proven useful in successful bond referendums, tax levies, and/
or grant funding to implement the vision established in the plan.
KICKOFF MEETING
At the start of the project, the WSB design team will
meet with the City of Corcoran to fully review and
identify the key contacts/team throughout the design
process as well as to develop a very clear understanding
of the intended project outcome and the expectations
of the WSB design team. This will include reviewing the
overall project schedule for key dates as they relate to
the process and deliverables, the project approach,
key project stakeholders, and general discussion about
the overall goals, vision, and concerns related to this
project. It is our intent to hold this meeting in person
unless the City indicates otherwise.
The following detailed work plan provides comprehensive services to fulfill the requirements of the RFP.
Approach to Park Development | 15A Proposal and Qualifications for Master Park Planning and Design Services
for the City of Corcoran
Existing Field Conditions
WSB will conduct individual site visits to each park or
potential park location in order to provide a high-level
understanding of how well a park is meeting design
standards in its current development and identify the
potential opportunities of each site. These visits will provide
critical insight from a programming and design perspective.
We also use this time to look at each site’s characteristics,
landforms, and intrinsic opportunities that can be used
to our advantage during the planning process. City staff
will be invited to tour the sites with the design team to
provide their insights regarding known opportunities or
challenges to consider during the evaluations.
The WSB team will also provide Topographic Survey,
Geotech, Environmental Site Assessments, Wetland
delineations or other environmental services as needed
to identify all of the unique existing features and
constraints, as well as determine potential development
feasibility at each site.
Project Design
Based on the 30% design plans for City park, and other
preliminary concepts previously explored for the open
space sites, the Preliminary Design task will develop and
confirm the unique programmatic items to be included
within each project site moving forward. Amenity sizing
and relationships will be confirmed, and integration of
other park design elements will take place. This design
phase will include the preparation of written text, plans,
photos, product info, and other drawings necessary
to describe the design, materials, colors, textures in
sufficient detail for the City to envision the appearance
and function of the improvements.
Key goals in this phase of design will be:
-Develop a plan that will result in the creation
of welcoming parks with appealing elements
to excite the community and increase usage
-Use of park planning best practices to provide
safe and inviting amenities to the community
-Incorporate sustainability strategies
(environmental, community, financial) for
long term success
-Deliver effective projects in a timely and
fiscally responsible manner.
Preliminary design will include using the appropriate
design standards for the identified facilities and
preparing design development drawings. The drawings
anticipated to be prepared for each site would include,
but not be limited to, site layout, landscaping, grading,
removals plans, site utility plans, site lighting plans, site
building plans and details as required.
An estimate of the cost to construct these improvements
will be developed and refined based on these documents.
From this estimate the City shall determine which of the
improvements shall be included in the final design.
WSB will develop a strategic approach to implementation
to guide the development, redevelopment, and
improvements that will have the greatest positive impact
on the community and foster support for subsequent
improvements. With our expertise in park and public
space construction, we can identify the best methods to
reduce overall operation and maintenance costs while
increasing the lifespan of the built features. We have also
aided our clients in the preparation of numerous types of
state and national grant funding applications after master
plans have been adopted.
Once the design options are fully explored and selected,
WSB will prepare final Construction Documents. These
documents shall include plans, details, and specifications
in sufficient detail for the City to pursue competitive bids
for the construction of the improvements.
Approach to Park Development | 16A Proposal and Qualifications for Master Park Planning and Design Services
for the City of Corcoran
MEETINGS
The design team will schedule and facilitate routine
check-in meetings with City staff to ensure progress is
consistent with City goals and budget throughout all
phases of the design process.
WSB will also attend and participate in small-group
meetings with identified key leaders and stakeholder
representatives to discuss opportunities and ideas
associated with the park design and process. We intend
to leverage the stakeholder work to ensure a cross-
section of perspectives and representatives from the
identified groups can participate.
We anticipate that the stakeholder groups may include,
but not be limited to City Council and Commissions,
City staff, affected property owners, athletic groups,
seniors, school district, or others as identified
throughout the stakeholder identification process.
ESTIMATING
WSB will prepare a comprehensive cost estimate at
each stage of design for the improvements that will
guide the investment in the park system based on
the implementation strategy. The WSB design team
has a strong track record of real-world budgeting that
are in line with actual construction costs including
consideration of construction contingencies,
professional design fees, permitting fees, and other
budget impacts that can often be overlooked at
a planning stage. This provides our clients with a
degree of confidence in establishing budgets for
implementation. The WSB Team has a staff of estimators
who keep a close eye on the construction cost climate
in terms of escalation and material availability.
Permitting
WSB will work with agencies to identify the permitting
review and approval process, including, but not limited
to the following:
-Completion and submittal of the NPDES stormwater
permit. Assumes erosion control plan, SWPPP, and
required erosion and sediment control details.
-MN Wetland Conservation Act: If the Aquatic
Resource assessment concludes wetlands or other
aquatic resources exist, the approved delineated
boundaries will be incorporated into project design
for wetland impact avoidance and minimization
considerations. If impacts are required, WSB
will prepare the permit application for a wetland
replacement plan decision.
-Watershed District Permitting
-Other local, state and federal
agency permitting
Bidding Assistance
It is understood that the project will be bid for
construction in 2024. WSB will work in partnership
with the City in preparation and development of a bid
document that fits the project goals and schedules.
WSB will provide services to facilitate the bidding
process of the project as noted in the RFP.
Deliverables: The final document and
supporting graphics will be provided in a
reader friendly digital format (e.g., Adobe
package, MS Word). The final products, as
well as all presentation materials (i.e., Power
Point presentations, maps, graphics, etc.) used
throughout the planning process, will be shared
with the City of Corcoran. Final Construction
plans and as-built drawings will be provided in
digital (pdf) format as well as AutoCAD (dwg) or
GIS files as desired by the City.

Re: Wildflower Park Bike Rack
______________________________________________________________________
Over the summer, Mayor McKee received a letter from Annabelle, a young resident of
Corcoran who visits Wildflower Park frequently. In her visits, she noticed that the park
does not have a bike rack, and as her family often bikes there, she wrote to Mayor
McKee requesting one.
Discussions took place between Mayor McKee and staff regarding the funding of the
request. A committed donation has been attained with the cost of the bike rack and
installation being covered without utilizing unbudgeted funds or park dedication funds.
Staff invited Annabelle and her family to the October 19, 2023, Parks and Trails
Commission meeting to formalize the request to the Commission. Staff is looking for a
recommendation from the Parks and Trails Commission for an upcoming City Council
meeting regarding the addition of a bike rack in Wildflower Park.
