Public Safety North Substation. Council consensus was to issue a Request For Proposals for an
architect to design the building and prepare bid specifications, rather than adesign/build process.
During discussion, it was noted that the draft RFP contains general design criteria to be
considered, which should not be included at this time, but would be part of the negotiations with
the architect, after ranking and selection. Building Official Charles Cangianelli advised that the
firm of Peacock & Lewis offered to review the RFP at no charge to ensure it meets all
requirements. The Village Council had no objection.

attached to the RFQ.
