The City Council appropriated $30,000 on December 20, 1977 (Capital Improvement Program Account OTS-Ol) to pay the consultant and to which the City will be reimbursed from OTS. In January, 1978, staff received proposals from the following firms: Firm Linscott, Law & Greenspan JHK & Associates Barton-Aschmann George Nolte & Associates Herman Kimmel & Associates Location Cost Irvine $ 8,200 Santa Ana $23,600 Pasadena $27,656 San Diego $29,400 Newport Beach $48,000 After reviewing the proposals, staff determined that Linscott, Law and Greenspan had not properly evaluated the amount of work to be done and they were eliminated from further consideration. The other four firms were invited to discuss their proposals with staff. Staff determined that the approach, amount of work to be completed and qual- ifications of all four of the remaining consultants were similar and therefore recommend the project be awarded to JHK & Associates, the lowest cost acceptable proposal.
