accommodate the current programs while leaving space for future expanded services at
the Community Outreach Center.
The selection committee conducted interviews and reviewed the work experience of each
of the four architectural firms. The selection committee noted that the City of Grapevine
has had a working history with the firm of Barker Rinker Seacat which designed The REC.
After scoring each firm on the grading matrix, the committee selected Barker Rinker
Seacat. This project was funded as a part of the Quality of Life Five Year Capital Plan.
Request for Qualifications was solicited in accordance with Texas Government Code
Chapter 2254.004. The RFQ was issued on May 10, 2017 and closed on May 31, 2017.
Staff recommends approval.
