Schooley Caldwell was selected for this project from proposals received from four (4) consulting firms on April 22, 2005. All firms were interviewed and it was determined that Schooley Caldwell's proposal and experience far exceeded the other firms. Schooley Caldwell was selected based on experience, availability, and knowledge of project site. Project includes construction drawings, construction administration, project administration, and reimbursables.
The Contract Compliance Number for Schooley Caldwell, is #31-0972509.
Emergency action is necessary to allow work on the Whittier Peninsula Park by Metro Parks to proceed as soon as possible.
