3. NEW BUSINESS
A. Selection of General Contractor for Public Safety Facilities
Executive Director Dawson explained the EDA Staff had completed background work to recommend a
firm to provide professional services in conjunction with the construction of the Public Safety Facilities
Project. Five firms had responded to a solicitation for a Request for Qualifications. Interviews were held
with the EDA Staff team and three firms on June 5, 2002. From those interviews, two firms, Kraus-
Anderson Construction Company and Stahl Construction Company, were selected for further reference
checks and an understanding of proposed fees. The two firms responded to the request to clarify their
approach to fees and costs. While Stahl Construction Company displayed a better package of services in
terms of documentation, public communication, jobsite services, and team approach, it appeared to have
significantly higher fees. There were no reservations regarding recommending Kraus-Anderson
Construction Company for contracting services.
Discussion ensued regarding the merits of retaining either company for contracting services for the Public
Safety Facilities project.
Garfunkel moved, Zerby seconded, Authorizing Staff to negotiate an agreement for services with
Kraus-Anderson Construction Company for the Public Safety Facilities project.

Commissioner Lizee stated, with regard to experience and knowledge of Stahl Construction Company's
reputation, she would prefer to go with Stahl Construction as their representatives had impressed Staff
with their presentation, and she thought they would provide the best value and services for the project.
Commissioner Turgeon stated she thought the amount of money being spent on the project was critical,
and thought it more important to set high standards for Kraus-Anderson Construction Company.
President Love stated he appreciated Commissioner Lizee's comments regarding value for dollars being
spent on this project. He further stated he did not like to choose a vendor based solely on cost for a
project; however, in this case, he believed Kraus-Anderson would provide good services for dollars spent,
in addition to providing lowest bid for the project.

Economic Development Authority on a date to be announced.
