Upon selection of a qualified firm, staff will request the City Council enter into an Agreement for professional engineering and design services. The CDBG projects are time sensitive. Based on discussions with County of San Bernardino, the CDBG projects must be under construction prior to June 30, 2002. This project and the development of the RFP were coordinated with the City Engineer and appropriate CDBG representative from the County of San Bernardino.
