Ten (10) firms responded; the Selection Committee (Christine Vrabic, Brian Bates, and Mike Bates) evaluated all proposals, ranking them. The Selection Committee determined the ten (10) top-ranked firms were all qualified and capable to perform these services, and can be used by any department for civil/site engineering work. OCE director, Elton Holland, recommends award to all 10 firms. The negotiations team worked with all firms to establish a common classification table and fee schedule. The Term will be for five (5) years, with three (3) optional two (2) year renewals; pending mutual agreement by both parties.
