Public Works Building Phil Hals, Public Works Superintendent. explained that he has been in contact with three architectural firms and has received two proposals. He stated that Pierce and Associates, presently working on the Assembly of God Church in Brentwood, has proposed to work for the City on this project for 5% of the building costs. at a cost "not to exceed" figure. Mr. Hals stated that he felt the proposal from Bonestroo and Associates was too high for services and also the time line was too lengthly. He stated that a third contact, Waldon and Associates had chosen not to quote at all. Mr. Hals recommended that the City enter into an agreement with Pierce and Associates. e
