4) Bidding phase
5) Construction
We contracted w/Rigdon to:
1) Originally for CON work

Mr. MacFarland proposed we simply complete the work we've contracted
with him for and hire another firm to do #'s 4 <9 5. lie commented on the
drawings, stating an aggressive contractor will use this kind of document
and cost the bidder money (when reasons to write changes orders are found).

if we pay money. This included design to fire marshall code & prepare
security room drawing. Mr. MacFarland recommended option 3 (on memo), hire
a professional construction management firm, once drawings are complete and
project is ready to proceed.
