The sealed <br />fee envelopes were then opened for the top three firms. The fees <br />are as follows: <br />FIRM FEE PROPOSAL <br />Michael Brandman Associates $239,727 <br />The Planning Center $203,420 <br />Robert Verlaan Associates $261,007 <br />The evaluation committee recommended selection of The Planning <br />Center to provide the requested consulting services.
