EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Proposals for architectural and construction management services were accepted on September 22, 2006.

The Professional Services Selection Committee convened the week of November 27 to review submittals and develop a short-list. Prospective providers were evaluated in accordance with the "Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act," "State Requirements for Education Facilities," and School Board policy. The Committee authorized the staff to proceed with fee negotiations with the top-ranked firms. Negotiations are now complete and Board approval is required for formal appointment.
