The next step in the process is to prepare plans and specifications. WSB has submittal a proposal for preliminary and final design services as well as project bidding in the amount of $198,798. The tentative project schedule anticipates approval of the plans in March and award of the project in April of 2015. Construction is proposed to be completed by November of this year. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 15-05 authorizing preparation of plans and specifications.
