The Jail Task Force Committee rated the architects Hansen, Lind, Myer with Michael White as firm number one. Mr. Watkins stated that he had checked their references and that they were very good. The firm of HOK was rated number two, and Prime Design was number three.

Discussion occurred regarding the definition of a construction manager. Mr. Watkins stated that it is a firm that works for the client, but is a general contractor: rather than doing the job with bids, he is hired for a fee.

They can give the client a guaranteed maximum price; if it exceeds that amount, they absorb the excess.

The County Attorney, Mr. Ford, felt that the Board should further look into the concept of a construction manager. He felt that they should get a Professor from an Architect School or University to give a presentation to the Board on the subject of construction management.
