Pending Dan’s presentation and getting all of our questions answered, I’m including an action item here in case we feel that we’re prepared to move forward with the first step in the remediation phase of this project, which is to engage an engineer to draw up the necessary bid documents for us. Unless you have unanswered questions for which we need a more in-depth explanation or you want to see proposals from other engineering firms, I recommend that you approve engaging BTC to conduct the engineering work for the desired repair option. I believe that BTC is in the best position to conduct this work for us due to their prior experience with this issue and similar work completed at other libraries.

Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the BTC proposal for engineering services.
