D. Review of Countryside Village Bathtub and GPNA Projects
Richard Alvord is the architect who is drafting the Physical Needs and 504 Assessments
and is also the architect who completed the 13 bathtub renovation for Countryside
Village. The next phase of the bathtub renovations are to begin. Steve would like to use
Alvord Architects since they are very familiar with the project. The request for proposals
must be published in the newspaper though as part of the procurement policy. Steve does
not think there will be any proposals other than Alvord Architects. He would like the
Board to designate him to approve a proposal expenditure under $5,000.00 for
architectural services for the Countryside Village bathtub renovation project.
