BKF Engineers was selected to provide design consulting and construction support services for the project after completing a request for proposal solicitation and technical proposal process. Public Works has successfully negotiated with BKF Engineers to provide the design consulting and construction support services.

A delay in construction of the Project will occur, ultimately delaying the completion of the Project. Project delay may also result in substantial additional project costs and jeopardize the funding.
