Preston selects Keller Associates as transportation engineering firm after qualifications review
Summary
After a qualifications‑based solicitation, the council approved Keller Associates (top score 96.2) for transportation engineering work needed for street and utility projects, citing the firm's prior study and familiarity with local requirements.
The council approved the selection of Keller Associates to provide transportation engineering services following a qualifications evaluation by a selection committee that included the mayor, staff and the police chief. Keller Associates received the highest average score (96.2) compared with the other respondent, Jones and DeMille (87.4). Council discussion noted Keller’s existing engineering study for the city and familiarity with state and local agencies.
Mayor and staff emphasized the need to move forward on planned projects — including a planned rebuild of 4th East in front of the school — and authorized staff to finalize the selection and contract. Councilmembers praised both finalists but agreed Keller’s local knowledge and prior study made it the preferred choice.
