Add to that the amount of funding sought seems to be stratospheric and they will not consider anything but the full ride and non bidding for the architect fees as well. Stunning lack of perception of the voters and the times we all live in.
Am I understanding it correctly that they didn’t go out for bid to do the architectual work on this renovation?
Also what were the architect fees for the conceptual design, 3D drawings, and cost estimate?
Doesn't Alton have a bidding procedure that they must follow?
