The Architectural All 'ance
After the interviews were held, there as a discussion and the Council
Members individually rated the archite tural firms. These ratings were
compared with those of the Library Pro.ect Committee. A motion was
made by Phil White, seconded by Dan Bl nigen and unanimously carried to
enter into contract negotiations with cEnary, Krafft, Birch & Kilgore,
Inc. for architectural services for li rary project, contingent upon
review by our City Attorney. It shoul be pointed out that this firm
had indicated that their fee was based on a square footage formula whereby
a 6,000 sq. ft. building, they would c arge $42,000 for architectural
services, to include interior design a d landscaping architectural services.
Should the City of Monticello go over he 6,000 square foot requirement,
there would be an additional fee of $5.00 per square foot, and should the
City of Monticello go under the 6,000 q. ft. benchmark, the contract would
be reduced by $6.00 a square foot.
Council consensus was also to have the preliminary design stage completed
by September 1, 1980, rather than Octo er 1, 1980, to allow the matter to
be put on the November 1980 ballot for a referendum.
Meeting adjourned.
