McCauley City Manager Date: September 9, 2004 Re: Request for Urban Design Services To begin the process of working on the City Council's goal and focus on redevelopment in the Smart Growth Opportunity site area, staff is proposing to solicit proposals/qualifications from planning firms to develop criteria that can be used to create a request for redevelopment proposals. This would be similar to the approach in St. Louis Park where criteria were developed that included mandatory components and desirable components that allowed development proposals to be reviewed and development agreements negotiated based on overall criteria for redevelopment. The request, if approved, will be sent to the major urban planning firms in Minnesota. A copy of the list of firms is attached. 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763) 569-3400 City Hall TDD Number (763) 569-3300 FAX (763) 569-3434 FAX (763) 569-3494 www. cityofbrooklyncenter.org Potential LTrban Planning Firnl/Individual Cunningham Group 612-379-3400 St. Anthony Main 201 Main St SE, Suite 325 Minneapolis, MN 55414 Barbour Le Douceur 612-339-5093 129 N 2 St, Suite 103 Minneapolis, MN 55401 HGA 612-337-4100 1201 Harmon Place Minneapolis, MN Edward Farr 952-943-9660 7710 Golden Triangle Dr Eden Prairie MN 55344 Hay Dobbs 612-338-4590 210 Foshay Tower 821 Marquette Ave So Minneapolis MN 55402 Stageberg, Beyer, Sachs 612-375-1399 115 North Fourth St Minneapolis, MN 55401 Miller Hanson 612-332-5420 1201 Hawthorne Ave Minneapolis, MN 55403 Loucks Associates 763-424-5505 7200 Hemlock Lane, Suite 300 Maple Grove, MN 55369 TKDA 651-292-4400 1500 Piper Jaffray Plaza 444 Cedar St St. Paul, MN 55101 SEH 612-758-6700 Butler Square Bldg, Suite 710C 100 N Sixth Street Minneapolis MN 55403 Damon Farber Associates 612-332-7522 923 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, MN 55402 DSU 612-339-3300 300 l0 Ave N, Suite 210 Minneapolis, MN 55401 Edalhoffman/Urban Planning Firm Dick Krier 952-476-1762 1491 Shoreline Dr Wayzata, MN 55391 SRF Consulting Group 763-475-0010 One Carlson Parkway N, Suite 150 Plymouth, MN Schoell Madson 952-546-7601 10580 Wayzata Blvd Minnetonka, MN URS (BRW) 612-370-0700 700 So 3 Street Minneapolis, MN Hoisington Koegler Group 612-338-0800 123 N 3rd Street Minneapolis, MN 55401 Edalhoffman/iJrban Planning Firm y� i' i; �s w I !w r r c a r ip ,1 r n y t `S'��. 1 f l...��� I �Il, yy• 1 4 y M ht s Summit Drive ,4e Y.. p ...n Y R ,r p� i r�"''° y I r 'S �e.R .}y a i k. �i r� s w .p. 4 +►f l.

The Opportunity Site Study Area is approximately 92 acres in size (including streets) and is generally described by the following: The Study Area is bounded by County Road 10 (Bass Lake Road) on the south, Shingle Creek Parkway on the west, Summit Drive on the north and Highway 100 and Summit Drive on the east. An aerial photograph showing the boundaries of the Study Area is included with this RFQ. For purposes of the work to be undertaken in this project, it should be assumed that the Study Area has been cleared of all buildings and improvements exclusive of streets and utilities. The goal of the City's RFQ for Urban Design Services is to create a set of Illustrative Concepts to guide redevelopment over time, including Design and Development Standards, for the Study Area that will establish a distinctive and desirable design, while allowing flexibility to respond to the market forces of development. IL SCOPE OF REQUESTED SERVICES A. Meet with city staff to initiate proj ect and tour the Study Area. Review base line information on Study Area including: City's Comprehensive Plan Opportunity Site Information Other Relevant Data and Plans B. Create Illustrative Concept Plans for the Study Area, incorporating Smart Growth principles that address street layout guidelines/options, public sidewalks, walkways, and open space and the provision of connections between areas within the Opportunity Site, as well as with existing trail systems and walkways. Criteria should include an ability to evaluate the degree to which proposals would create public 1 gathering or plaza areas to accommodate special public events, as well as to create a unifying element for phases of redevelopment. The criteria developed should provide guidance for designated parking, both on street and off street parking. Off street parking must be predominately structured parking with some surface parking lots. C. Create Design and Development Standards for site, buildings and improvements in the Study Area. The purpose of the Design and Development Standards is to provide a framework, which will guide development in the Study Area and enable the City of Brooklyn Center to seek and evaluate private development proposals. The Design and Development Standards should address the following: Design Guidelines for building facades in Study Area including architectural style and design details for building facades including a palette of materials and colors. Create development standards addressing such items as building height and mass, setbacks and parking, sign, lighting and landscaping specifications. Parking standards for the Study Area should address both on street and off street parking. Off street parking should be predominantly structured parking. Signage standards should address public signage as well as building signage including dimensions, height, location, distance from wall, fascia signage, lighted signs, etc. Lighting standards should address both public areas, including streets and walkways and lighting on building exteriors. Landscaping standards for the Study Area should address street and public walkways with the goals of providing a sense of enclosure for urban walkways and a depth and texture to the building facade. D. Prioritization of Urban Design and Development Features and Development of Requests for Proposal (RFP) for Development of Study Area. The consultant will assist the city with preparation of an RFP for development of a mixed use project in the Study Area. The design plan should serve as a guide and evaluation tool in the developer selection process. It is important that the consultant consider the interactions between the designs and standards expressed in the design and development standards and the market forces affecting private development proposals. The consultant should develop an evaluation framework defining those design and development standards contained in the plan that are required and those that are negotiable in the RFP development process. 2 i E. Modification of Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The consultant shall assist the City in any modifications to the City's Comprehensive Plan and/or Zoning Ordinance necessary to implement the design and development standards. F. Meetings The consultant will meet with City staff as needed to review information and plan far public meetings and presentation. The consultant will be required to conduct three public meetings: Two public meetings to present and discuss the design and development standards and plan with the general public. One public meeting with the City Council and chairs of city advisory commissions and to present and discuss the design and development standards and plan to the City Council and the general public. III. STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS The respondents to the RFQ must provide the following information: 1. Cover sheet listin g firm(s) mcluded in pro�ect team. a. Name, address and telephone number of firm(s). b. Designate individual(s) who should be contacted regarding any clarification of the qualification submission during the evaluation period. 2.
