NEW BUSINESS
I. Selection of Steering Committee members for consultant selection interview panel.
Qualls distributed a revised Architect Selection Schedule and reviewed the schedule dates.
Following discussion by the committee, it was suggested that the selection of subcommittee
members be delayed until the next regular Steering Committee meeting when all members can
be present. The revised schedule is as follows:
Issuance of RFP for architect
Receive responses
Interview of finalists by selection panel
Report to Committee on consultant selection
Staff negotiation of contract with finalist
Contract approval by City Council
January 10,2001
February 22, 2001
March 21, 2001
April 4,2001
April, 2001
May 7, 2001
Qualls informed the committee members that copies of the RFP will be mailed to them at the
same time they are mailed to the architectural firms. He emphasized several points of the
selection process such as: I) A short list of candidates will be interviewed on March 21; 2)
Each firm will be allowed to make a 15-minute presentation and Yz hour will be allowed for a
question and answer session; 4) The subcommittee will select the top 2-3 ranked firms and
present their qualifications to the full Steering Committee; and 5) The staff will negotiate the
contract with the finalist prior to making their recommendation to the City Council on May 7.
It is anticipated that there will be a first recommendation on the conceptual design by City
Council in the fall of this year and construction may be started by the middle of 2002. A
more precise schedule will be available after the RFP process is complete.
Mantovani asked about the estimated time of completion for the Deke Hunter project on Torre
Avenue and if this was a factor in the library process. She was informed that a second
presentation was being made to the City Council and it was anticipated that the application
process would be complete sometime this summer.
2. Next meeting date and time
By consensus, the next meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, February 7, 4:30 p.m.
