amount of$20,000 in Local Option Sales Tax to be used for a possible human services campus feasibility
study; and,

engineering firms in the area,and four firms expressed interest in the project,but only one proposal was
returned; and,
WHEREAS, staff received that proposal from RDG IA, Inc., d/b/a Rudi Lee Dreyer, and staff
was very impressed with the RDG proposal and feels that it should give us a solid review of the
feasibility of a human services campus for this community; and,
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City enter into a contract with RDG IA, Inc., d/b/a
Rudi Lee Dreyer, in the amount of$18,000 for the study of the feasibility of a human services campus
in Ames; and,
WHEREAS,the study will begin immediately and conclude late this summer,in time for possible
programming into the 2008/09 CDBG plans, should the campus appear to be feasible; and,

a structure, nor does it bind the City to commit CDBG dollars to a future project, should one occur.

the contract with RDG IA, Inc.,d/b/a Rudi Lee Dreyer, in the amount of$18,000 for a human services
