, ,� __ <br /> � Page 2 <br /> , � <br /> In early May, 2000, City staff requested proposals from private consulting firms in <br /> Centr�l Illinois to provide professional design services for the proposed connector. Three firms <br /> responded to this request. <br /> Blank, Wesselink, Cook&Associates, Inc. <br /> Homer L. Chastain& Associates <br /> WVP Corporation <br /> The proposals were reviewed by a staff task force consisting of representatives from the <br /> Public Works and the Economic and Urban Development Departments. The task force <br /> determined that the proposals, in combination with staff's working knowledge of each firm, <br /> provided adequate information to allow for a recommendation for a preferred design firm. <br /> Following the task force recommendation, staff entered into negotiations with the selected firm, <br /> Blank, Wesselink, Cook and Associates, Inc. <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution to authorize an <br /> agreement with Blank, Wesselink, Cook & Associates, Inc. to provide preliminary design <br /> services for the Hubbard Avenue/Rea's Bridge Road Connector. <br /> City staff will be available to answer questions that the Council may have at the meeting. <br /> attach:3 <br /> cc: Stephen Swanson, City Engineer <br /> Joselyn Collins, Transportation Planner <br />
