The Building Safety Plan Check Engineer is an experienced engineer, but Staff felt for a project of this size, it would be prudent to seek an independent structural engineering review.

While all three firms submitting proposals are capable of successfully completing the Project, this selection is based on Erdelyi’s ability to provide all the requirements of the RFP, their expertise in the structural design of a variety of projects and facilities, the fact that they are a locally based structural engineering firm, and their ability to economically accomplish the Project. Building Safety staff contacted the references provided by Erdelyi & Associates and received strong positive recommendations from the individuals we contacted.
