Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 2, 2019 Page 26 important, staff highlighted that in the RFP, and LHB picked up on that and high- lighted that in their proposal, it tells him that not only does LHB know Roseville well but LHB understands what it is being asked to do. Mayor Roe asked staff in talking with BKV did BKV talk about how the process is kicked off and start the discovery part of the project, as to how BKB becomes informed about some of the things being talked about. Mr. Culver explained during the interview BKV did acknowledge that the pro- posal had language in there about the fire station that probably does not need to be a focus of this study since it is a relatively brand new fire station, however, it was pointed out that the fire station still needs to work with the rest of the campus and there still needs to be the operational efforts and cohesiveness between the differ- ent operations and having somebody with the specialty of the fire side can help make sure that is occurring as the city is looking at moving the different pieces around. BKV did a fair job of defending that but he agreed with Councilmember Etten regarding the deficiencies in BKV's proposal. He indicated LHB actually expanded on the RFP rather than just repeating it in their narrative. LHB does a very good job of talking about how the process is kicked off and such and BKV talked a little bit about that during the interview but did not really address it as well as LHB. Councilmember Willmus indicated when he saw that, especially with fire, it does play a role. Operationally it certainly does play a role and he did not take that as BKV redesigning the fire station. That is an important factor as well. The flow of the facilities that the city has constructed within the last three years is certainly something that needs to be factored in and he appreciated that. Councilmember Laliberte assumed that if she supported this motion today and staff comes back with information she is not comfortable with or a dollar figure that does not make sense, then she will not be supportive the second time around. Councilmembers Willmus and Groff agreed. Mayor Roe indicated one thing he would be concerned about going forward with BKB is having that up-front meeting with the Council, talking about the big pic- ture and almost another interview, which he assumed would be done with LHB as well. Mr. Culver noted both firms called that out in their proposals. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Groff and Roe. Nays: Etten
