Engineering Proposals – As you know we received 24 proposals. Councilmember Terry Smith came by Thursday and spent about an hour with Jody reviewing the proposals. Terry recommended that Jody and I interview two of the firms: Alcovy Surveying & Engineering and Jordan Engineering. We will meet with both of them Tuesday. We hope to have a recommendation ready in time for the February 3 council meeting. Terry felt that both firms were the right size and had the right experience to work well with us. I have sent an email to the other 22 firms notifying them of the status of the selection process.
