Memorandum

Subject: Approve the Qualified List from the Request for Qualifications for On-Call Architecture & Engineering Services
Executive Summary:

Public Services received fourteen responses to the RFQ. A selection committee reviewed the responses in accordance with the County's Policy for Review and Selection of Professional Consultants and Other Contract Service Providers, which resulted in a short list of firms to consider for future work.
