On July 27, 2022 Mackenzie was recommended for architectural services for the new Police Facility after an intense selection committee review period. The council was unanimous and provided the authority for the City Manager to negotiate a contract with them. Also, as part of the same city council meeting, the Findings of Fact public hearing was held for the use of CM/GC (Construction Manager/General Contractor) as an alternative method of contracting for the new Police Facility. No public comment was received and after a brief overview by the City’s owner’s representative, Joshua Dodson, the Findings were adopted authorizing the City to use CM/GC. Both activities are major milestones in the progress of the new Police Facility.

On June 30, 2022, the MPD Team interviewed two architectural/engineering teams, MDG and Mackenzie. It was determined that Mackenzie scored the highest points after scores of the written proposal, reference checks and interview point totals. Mackenzie will be issued a notice of award and recommended to enter contract negotiations at the July 27, 2022 city council meeting.
