(G -9) Elections - Discuss Selection Process for Architect and Building Contractor Note: This item was removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion at the request of Commissioner Carruth. Mike Downs, Deputy County Manager, advised that an architect, contractor and construction management process need to be determined since the old Creamery building on Church Street was selected as the new location for the Board of Elections. He further advised that the County contracted with YCH Architects for architectural services and CM Black Construction for Construction Manager at Risk services for the free - standing building that was originally proposed at a different site. The Creamery project, he advised, is a smaller renovation project. Commissioner Carruth reported he was approached by a local contractor who expressed concerns with the bid process since the project now is much smaller in scope. He questioned whether the old Creamery building project should be converted to a bid project.
