So moved by Alderman Sticka; seconded by Alderman Ohare. Alderman Spears questioned the legality of the information the Council received. She stated that the RFP (Request for Proposal) asked for copies of work for no more than two similar projects completed by the firms. She stated that she spoke with one of the firms that submitted an RFP and they submitted more than two projects. She asked if this disqualified them because they did not follow procedures. Her other concern was that Alderman Burd asked if telephone calls discussing the proposals were made after the receipt of the RFP's. She stated that the meeting notes indicate that the two top firms received interview -type phone calls. She stated that she found out that this was not true; the second firm did not receive a follow -up phone call. She stated that Alderman Burd and the City Attorney had suggested that all the firms be called to keep it even. Mayor Prochaska noted that it was previously discussed that if the City Council wanted to further investigate the RFPs from that done by the Park Board, all the firms would have to be contacted. Executive Director of Parks & Recreation Laura Brown stated that the RFP process does not require interviews. She stated that staff met with the two top firms to discuss background The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council — October 12. 2004 — pa egc 4 work sites to evaluate the firms work. She indicated that only one other group submitting an RFP asked to meet with staff. There was further discussion regarding a previous conversation at a Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting regarding if the groups were "interviewed" or "met with ". Also discussed was the development of a procedure for the RFP process. Attorney Kramer stated that in regards to receiving more information than requested she felt it did not disqualify them from the process. Alderman Spears stated she spoke with Williams Architects, who informed her that they have been told that the City Council has less than a favorable opinion of them and their services. She stated that she told them she was upset with the way their firm handled the back-up generator and she would keep this in mind every time they are considered for a project. They explained to her that the generator was not their fault but due to the tight budget for the project. They stated that they presented the problem with the back -up generator to staff and were told that the generator the building had at the time was fine. Mayor Prochaska stated that he also spoke with the principals at Williams Architect who were under the assumption that their proposal had come to the City Council without a recommendation from the Park Board. Mayor Prochaska clarified to them that a recommendation was made by the Park Board and he stated that he discussed the generator and other issues with the building build - out with them. There was further discussion regarding the back -up generator. Director Brown explained that the Park Board was not aware of the problems with the build -out or generator when considering the Williams Architects proposal. Their decision was based on the material presented to them. Mayor Prochaska noted that he conveyed this information to the principal of Williams Architects. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

Attorney Kramer stated that this is a recommendation for a private citizen's group.

He explained to her that the ordinance was still under review and that the city is following the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers mitigation process.
