Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 14, 2017 Page 19 Councilmember McGehee agreed with Councilmember Etten, opining that there was no need to further delay the project, and expressed her trust in staff continu- ing to do a great job, and their understanding of the flow and what worked best. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, authorization to accept Kodet Architectural Group Ltd's. Proposal for Design, Construction Document, Bidding and Con- struction Administration Services as presented; at a cost not to exceed $43,800 or approximately 10%of the estimated project cost. Councilmember Willmus stated that he would not support the motion, opining that since there was not timeline issue, more time should be taken at the initial stages and look to other architectural firms that may not be as costly for their ser- vices and to see other designs, all that could potentially save significant dollars. Councilmember Laliberte agreed that there was not time crunch, and stated her understanding that any other design firm proposals would be sufficiently vetted by staff prior to being brought to the City Council for consideration. Mayor Roe spoke in support of the motion, opining that since the proposed cost went beyond design and specifications as detailed and based on tonight's discus- sion with staff, he thought the price tag for those services was reasonable and in line with other city projects to-date. Mayor Roe agreed with Councilmember McGehee in not seeing a flaw in this plan that couldn't be resolved with this ar- chitectural firm as plans were fine-tuned.
