The city issued a Request for Qualifications, receiving 10 responses before selecting these two firms. The annual aggregate expenditure for these services is estimated at $900,000. Both prime consultants have committed 10.00% of the total contract amount to certified firms, including Lawrence Associates, PA, Tidemark Land Services, Inc., and CES Group Engineers, LLP.
