Staff reviewed and scored the proposals and selected three firms to interview. The firms that were interviewed included JLG, 292 Design Group and Leo A. Daly. A major component of this project is a thorough public engagement process with all stakeholders in the community. The 292 Design Group was approved to be hired to complete the work that is expected to take five months to complete.
