Minutes approved - 1st Dean, 2nd Larry, all in favor
Old business
Nexus (out of Salt Lake City) eventually got back to Larry. Sent a narrative of how they operate.
They have done big jobs and some smaller libraries. Indicated they would be interested in the
RFP.
John - for the City, RFP's under $25,000 there are fewer requirements. May not need to get
multiple bids or advertise. Further down the road with the architects/engineering we will need to
get 3 bids.
Meg - RFP will be advertised on City website, library website, possible Star News (not required)
and then mailed directly to firms we would like. A company from California saw our minutes and
asked we send them the RFP when it is out.
Meg - direction from library board regarding RFP. Let the board know of our progress, and we
aren't doing the survey right now. They are ok with that.
