Board authorizes RFP step for Tall Cedars progressive design‑build; staff recommends full‑scope RFP
Staff recommended and the board authorized moving to the RFP stage of a progressive design‑build procurement for the Tall Cedars system reconstruction. Staff told the board it plans to shortlist three teams and recommended issuing the RFP for the entire system replacement to secure a full preliminary design and better cost certainty; the board approved the conflict‑of‑interest policy required for the procurement and authorized the RFP.
