we held a proposal meeting at pier 1. over 95 individuals attendantedd that meeting and we convened a three-member panel, a construction engineer, nicholas keen, a project manager with the department of public works and a list of the selection panel was provided to and approved by the contract monitoring division. on the submittal deadline, january 18, we received 13 proposals. by comparison we received six proposals for the same solicitation three years ago. i would like to personally thank and commend our panel members as it took a great deal of effort and diligence to review and score the submittal responses. most of the narrative proposals were over 100 pages in length. in addition, we held 11 oral interviews that lasted over two days, city staff volunteered to serve on evaluation panels in addition to the regular workload without any additional compensation and this evaluation process was a heavy lift and we want to thank the panelists for the hard work. the first step is for the compliance of the minimal complicatio
