Background and Purpose of Request:
Requestor: Bill Trufant, Director of Facilities
The County started to plan for future bonding items that will require additional professional services.

It is the intent to work in conjunction with an A/E firm to design, coordinate, and provide a full scale project oversight of these projects.
Funding Amount and Source:
The projected fees will be funded by the 2025/2026 General Obligation Bond.
The percentage range for their services will be between 7.4%-7.7%. As shown in their proposal on page 14, they showed an estimated percentage of 7.5% ($375,000) for a projected project cost of $5,000,000. They also show how if the project total increases or decreases their fee structure changes along with their costs.
