The process provides for the identification of the most highly qualified firms by a Professional Services Selection Committee that includes representatives from several District divisions and the community. Attachment C identifies the specific committee members participating in each selection for Elementary and Kitchen Renovations and the organization represented by each.

Fifteen design professionals responded to the solicitation. The solicitation is included in Attachment B. Attachments D and E record the results of the Committee's evaluation of these firms at each phase of the process.
