WHEREAS, the Purchasing Department solicited bids for an architectural and engineering firm to provide designing, engineering, and project administration services for improvements to the Health Department; and

 

WHEREAS, after review of said bids, it is the recommendation of the Purchasing Department, the Facilities Department and the Health Department to award a contract to Hobbs and Black Associates, Inc., whose bid was the most responsive and responsible, for the first and second phases of the project described above.
