A dozen firms were expected to offer proposals for design services master planning of county facilities as Shawano County officials continue their quest to potentially build a new courthouse and justice center, along with other facility improvements.
Proposals were due Sept. 17, and the public property committee is scheduled to meet Sept. 20 to review them.
The master planning process is being coordinated by Kurt Berner of The Samuels Group.
Berner told the committee March 13 he will put together a summary of each proposal for the committee to review March 20. Members are scheduled to review the proposals and then decide which ones to interview at a special April 1 meeting, which will be be held in closed session.
“We would bring you a summary of all of the proposals with comparisons of who’s including what, fees, allocation of that,” Berner said.
The proposals from the design firms include master planning services related to the county’s government offices, courts, court offices, sheriff’s office, jail and library.
The Samuels Group will then work with county officials to:
• Determine costs of design services for each phase of the design process.
• Provide for a fair and objective evaluation of proposals received from design firms.
• Collect information necessary for the evaluation of competitive proposals submitted by qualified design firms.
• Select a professional design firm acceptable to the county to provide design services for programming and schematic design phases of design for renovations to the current campus.
