of the top four contenders and selected Architects Design Group on a point basis.
We would like Council approval to enter into contract negotiations so that work may
commence within our projected schedule. There are grant requirements that limit the
contract price, and should we fail to reach a satisfactory negotiation with ADG we will
enter into negotiations with the firm ranked in second place.
