Following an interview and scoring process with members of the administration, Council and Plante Moran Realpointe, the administration made the following selection recommendations related to the construction and design of a new City Hall and the future plans for the entire Civic Center Campus.

1. Master Planning Services- HED
2. Civil Engineering Services- OHM
3. Architect Engineer Services of City Hall- HED
4. Traffic Study Services- Spalding DeDecker
5. Surveying Services- Spalding DeDecker

Council put forward an approving motion for the Master Planning Services, Civil Engineering Services, Architect Engineer Services and Surveying Services. TheTraffic Study costs falls below $20,000 and does not require Council approval.

The timeline for these services are the following: Surveying and Traffic Study would be done this year, a master plan proposal would be ready by April and architect designs for a new City Hall would be ready by July/August.

The costs for these services (roughly $3M) will currently come from the building improvement fund but would be returned to that fund and be paid from the bond used to fund the new City Hall. As a reminder, the bond is a no-new tax bond that would be paid using cost savings from changes to the retiree healthcare plan.

Funding for the other project areas at the corner of 5 and Farmington will be sought via a millage that would be on the August 2025 ballot.
