Village to interview engineering firms as Chastain contract nears expiry
Summary
The committee discussed the upcoming expiration of the village's engineering contract with Chastain and agreed to invite candidate firms to present; members debated using an ad hoc committee versus a special public meeting.
Committee members discussed the village engineering agreement with Chastain, which the group said expires on the 27th of this month. Speaker 3 explained that professional services contracts are not required to be publicly bid in the same way as goods but recommended interviewing candidate firms. "Our engineering agreement with Chastain expires on the 27th of this month," the committee member said.
Members suggested inviting two companies (including the Farnsworth group and a Sugar Grove firm) to present on the same night, using either an ad hoc engineering committee or a special meeting where all six board members can attend. The committee agreed to schedule presentations and decide whether to open a request‑for‑qualifications recruitment later if needed.
