On May 15, 2007, Facilities Management/Purchasing was authorized to advertise an RFQ and
receive proposals for professional services for design documentation, estimating and future
renovations of the former Executive Office, North Health and North Office buildings. The total

28, 2007, Purchasing published Requests for Qualifications advertisements to the design and
construction industry seeking submittal responses from arc hitect/engineers (AE) and
construction managers. The deadline for submittals is September 21, 2007.
Following receipt of the submittals on September 21, 2007, a process of evaluation will begin to
determine the most qualified proposals for both design and construction management services.
It is the intent that these evaluations be performed by a Selection Committee. The Selection
Committee should be comprised of two individuals from the Planning and Building Committee,
one individual from the Purchasing Division, one individual from the Health Division and two
individuals from Facilities Management. The Selection Committee would meet to select the top
two to four firms who would then be interviewed by the committee. The Selection Committee
would then evaluate the interviews and the written submittals to determine recommendations that
would be brought to a future Planning and Building Committee for negotiations and award of
contracts for both AE and CM project work. Commissioners Jacobsen and Nash volunteered to
be on the Selection Committee. Chairperson Douglas requested a copy of the RFP and asked if
any other committee members would want one. Five additional committee members raised their
hand to request a copy of the RFP as well.
Gershenson moved to recommend the establishment of a Selection Committee .
