    1Downtown Shakopee Infrastructure & Public Realm Design Implementation Strategy

    PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

    The Shakopee Economic Development Authority is embarking on an exciting project to upgrade Downtown Shakopee’spublic realm. Over the past 40 years, multiple studies have been conducted to develop a greater understanding of theneeds for downtown, along with recommendations for improvements. Major issues identied in the studies include: theunderutilization of Huber Park, inadequate waynding signage, unsafe pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and the lack oflarger public gathering spaces for downtown events. All of these challenges, along with mismatched lighting and a lackof street trees, add up to a public realm that is ripe for revitalization.

    The Loucks team, in collaboration with the City of Shakopee and critical stakeholders, will develop solutions to addressthe aforementioned problems and explore opportunities to incorporate new public plaza and gathering spaces,improved crosswalks, enhanced alleys and added placemaking elements. We are also excited about creating aninnovative design that will better connect Downtown Shakopee with one of its most attractive amenities, the MinnesotaRiver.

    In an effort to enhance downtown, initiatives such as Main Street Shakopee have already been put in place. This pushto enrich the downtown area has resulted in many successful new or expanded businesses. Downtown events have alsobeen successful in drawing people to the area. This project is a critical step in reestablishing Downtown as a commercialdistrict that contributes to the community’s overall quality of life.

    PROJECT APPROACH

    Good design creates a strong sense of place by leveraging unique site amenities and weaving local charm into the

    fabric of the overall project strategy. Downtown Shakopee is lled with historic signicance and unique character. Ourapproach will ensure that the new public realm improvements maintain and emphasize these important strengths tomaintain and enhance downtown’s unique sense of place. The following are key aspects to the project’s success:

    DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN VIBRANT STREETS AND OPEN SPACESStreets and open spaces play a vital role in dening the character of the study areas. These areas provide publicgathering spaces and connections to the rest of Shakopee. Strategies will be explored to dene improvements thatenhance existing streets and alleys, support new development opportunities, and enhance pedestrian facilities to createbetter connections to new transit facilities, commercial uses, and public open spaces. The design approach will focuson creating spaces that are inviting and attractive at all times of day and during all Minnesota seasons.

    BALANCE OF PEDESTRIAN AND MOTORIST NEEDSThe public realm design will balance the needs of pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists by maximizing the ability of allmodes of transportation to function compatibly. In order to achieve balance, existing streets must be analyzed to safely

    accommodate all users within the right of ways. Providing multiple modes of transportation creates a safer and moreappealing pedestrian environment and encourages residents and other stakeholders to embrace new and interestingways to navigate and enjoy the City of Shakopee.

    SUSTAINABLE DESIGNLoucks’ approach will emphasize sustainable site design practices. Our vast experience working with public and privatedevelopment gives the Loucks team a unique understanding of the pros and cons of various methods of low impactdesign solutions. We will work with you to develop options that explore ways to integrate natural systems, constructionmethods, and utilitarian needs in a low impact, sustainable, and artful manner. Emphasis will be placed on sustainabledesign through proper selection of materials for pavements, furnishings and light sources, stormwater management andlandscape design.

    STREETSCAPE AMENITIES AND ARTWORK Streetscape elements should complement the historic downtown character and include a exible palette of materials to

    be used within the study area. In addition to thoughtful design of pavements, site furnishings and landscaping, publicart should be integrated into public spaces and used effectively to tell the compelling story of the area’s history, peopleand architecture.

    Our approach is to bring the proposed plan and elements to a design development level that ensures the design isrealistic. This allows for an easy transition into the future detailed construction document phase and also allow us todevelop cost ranges for improvements which will help shape a pragmatic, thoughtful improvement phasing plan. Weunderstand Downtown Shakopee is ready for construction to begin, so this approach will help dene projects andpriorities in a meaningful manner. A more detailed scope of work can be found in the appendix.

    PROJECT COSTS:

    The Loucks Team provides exceptional professional services for outstanding value. Thefollowing presents a summary of our proposed costs based on our understanding of theproject and the City’s budget to perform the requested work.

    NOT-TO-EXCEED COSTWe understand that Shakopee is seeking a not-to-exceed fee for this project. The LoucksTeam proposes to conduct the requested planning and design services for the Infrastructure& Public Realm Design for not more than $59,400.

    Our not-to-exceed cost includes the scope of work identied in this document. Weanticipate not more than $950 in reimbursable expenses which may include mileage,printing, deliveries/mailing, and other costs related to public meetings and presentations.Our proposed fees are generally allocated for the following tasks:

    • Phase 1: Understanding What Exists Today 20%• Phase 2: Public Realm Design 70%• Phase 3: Cost Estimating & Phasing Plan 10%

    BILLINGWe understand the need to adhere to the not-to-exceed fee for the agreed work. We willsubmit monthly invoices to the City based on work completed-to-date multiplied by thehourly charge rate for each employee. Consultant services will also be subject to the same

    hourly submittal process.

    WORK OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF OUR PROPOSALOccasionally, the scope of a project needs to change based on unforeseeable circumstancesthat dictate a modication. If necessary, we will gladly adjust our work scope and submitan appropriate change request for the Cities approval prior to proceeding with the work.Loucks will never exceed our contract amount, or work without City review and approval ofa proposed change, in the completion of our tasks.

    ASSUMPTIONS

    • The City will provide existing conditions surveys for the Downtown Study Area includingtopography, existing trees, built features such as roads, parking, and structures, utilities,and other known constraints of the study area. If further survey information is required,

    Loucks will provide additional scope of work to perform the survey.• We are not anticipating our design work to go beyond a Design Development level

    of detail. Future design will be required to bring the design options to a constructiondocument level of design.

    • We are assuming a range of six to eight meetings will be required to properlycoordinate the design effort.

    • No public meetings, business owner meetings or open houses were dened in the RFP.Our fee currently does not accommodate these tasks but we can certainly work withCity Staff to provide additional scope for this work if it becomes necessary during theprocess.

    CONCLUSION:

    Occasionally, project opportunities cross our desks for which we instantly know we want

    to be an integral participant. This is our type of project! We have the experience andcapacity to work cooperatively with you to achieve outstanding results. We understandpublic realm design and construction, and look forward to assisting you with these importantenhancements for Downtown Shakopee.

    APPENDIX

    PROJECT WORK SCOPE

    PHASE 1: UNDERSTANDING WHAT EXISTS, WHAT HAS BEEN DONE, AND WHAT IS PLANNEDThis phase will focus on synthesizing previous studies, examining existing conditions, and working with city staff todene opportunities for public realm improvements within the study area.

    TASK 1.1: DEVELOP BASE INFORMATIONWe will compile maps and AutoCAD survey information obtained from the City with aerial photos, site photos, andother base information into a format and scale suitable for planning purposes and to illustrate key informationthroughout the design process.

    TASK 1.2: UNDERSTANDING THE DOWNTOWN SHAKOPEE STUDY AREA – REVIEW AND SYNTHESIZE PASTSTUDIESPreviously prepared reports, studies, and other documents having a bearing on the study area will be assembled,reviewed, and summarized. We will synthesize the past plans to create a single, integrated comprehensive plan thatillustrates the current issues and opportunities within the study area. Documents to be reviewed include:

    Waynding & Destination Signage for Main Street Shakopee Project (2015) | Downtown Shakopee PlacemakingAnalysis & Recommendations (2015) | EDA of Shakopee Walkable Community Workshop Report (2010) | Visions Shakopee! Report of Proceedings, Downtown Strategic Planning Conference (1999) | EDA of Shakopee

    Downtown Parking Signing Study (1998) | Downtown Retail Area Evaluation (1996) | Downtown Area RiverfrontProject (1995) | EDA of Shakopee Downtown Revitalization Project, Engineering Feasibility Project (1986) |Central Business District Study (1980) | Downtown Improvement/Feasibility Study & Action Plan (1974)

    END PRODUCT

    A drawing or series of drawings illustrating the issues, plans, recommendations and strategies developed in previousplanning efforts.

    TASK 1.3: URBAN DESIGN ANALYSISThis inventory will augment base information that has already been documented in previous studies. The primarypurpose is to identify the unique components that will dene design parameters and shape the design alternatives. Theinventory and analysis will include but is not limited to:History of the area | View corridors and view sheds | Existing and proposed bike connections and bikeways | Pedestriancirculation and access | Entrance corridors and features | Maintenance issues | Ownership | Utilities | Existing lightinglocations and types | Existing vegetation and street trees | Natural systems and stormwater

    END PRODUCT

    Graphics that summarize the existing conditions within the study area.

    PHASE 2: PUBLIC REALM DESIGN

    TASK 2.1: PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANTwo preliminary plans will be prepared to illustrate key design components within the study area. The plan will illustratethe public realm improvements and will focus on how to integrate existing structures, existing and proposed publicrealm amenities, redevelopment areas, and new public spaces.

    END PRODUCT

    Concept level plans that address the enhancement potential of the study area.

    TASK 2.2: DESIGN FOR PUBLIC SPACES AND STREETSCAPE ELEMENTSPreliminary recommendations and concepts will be developed for the type and style of public realm improvements tobuild on the existing palette used within Downtown. Streetscape and public realm elements may include but are notlimited to:

    Sidewalk and paving treatments | Use and type of signage | Street tree locations, types and species | Streetfurniture | Lighting locations & xture options | Special paving and crosswalk materials | Plazas and publicgathering spaces | Parking lot edge treatments | Banners, kiosks, and planters | Gateway treatments and entrymonuments | Buffering materials | Public artwork

    7Downtown Shakopee Infrastructure & Public Realm Design Implementation Strategy

    It is our understanding that SEH is currently working with Shakopee to study the lighting and develop a new lightingplan for downtown. Lighting is a key component in streetscape design and it’s our intention to work cooperatively withSEH, coordinating lighting types and locations within the public realm.

    TASK 2.3: REFINE DESIGN PLAN & STREETSCAPE ELEMENTSThe preferred plan and streetscape elements will be rened based on feedback of the concept plans. Plans and publicrealm elements will be designed in CAD to ensure that recommended improvements are realistic and can be built. Planswill be designed to a level in which we can provide cost ranges for improvements. This level of detail is where a projectreally starts to take shape and become more realistic in its overall layout. It is also a point where signicant changes

    become more difcult due to the increasing level of detail being added to the plans. To make sure the plan is movingforward in the correct direction we will have multiple coordination meetings to make sure we are on track. The focus ofthe DD phase is continuing to rene the design with specic attention to the following:

    • Creation of a rened plan accounting for known site requirements such as accessible slopes, general site layoutconstraints, and limitations of construction techniques.

    • Consideration of specic materials and design options taking into account the cost implications of each.• Identication of key design features that will require additional detailing during construction documentation.

    END PRODUCT

    Design Development level plans of improvements and streetscape element designs that illustrate the public realmenhancements. Three dimensional views will also be developed for key areas in the downtown, allow stakeholders togain a better understanding of the proposed improvements.

    PHASE 3: COST ESTIMATING AND PHASING PLANA critical analysis of costs will occur during the latter part of the design phase. The DD phase allows a sufcient level ofdetail where accurate cost estimates can be completed. The ever-present balancing act of costs versus project scopewill be reviewed and strategies will be developed by which the project content can be prioritized. Changes in projectscope, or material selection, can be based on informed decisions using bid data from recent similar projects. Based onthe cost estimates, and City priorities, we will develop a phasing plan for improvements.

    THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SCOPE OF WORK INCLUDES: coordination with team members | including planningfor four meetings | review of existing studies regarding the downtown area | obtain additional information as necessary,such as updated daily trafc volumes, recent trafc studies/research reports regarding potential design changes, orother information to supplement our knowledge | evaluation of potential changes in terms of trafc operations impacts,considering cars, trucks, bicyclists, and pedestrians | write-ups, as required, for inclusion into the nal report(s) for theproject

    FUTURE PHASE (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PROJECT SCOPE): CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTSConstruction drawings for phase one of the downtown improvements to be competitively bid in the open market |Project Bidding | Construction Administration and Observation | Final inspection & Punch List/Project Closeout
