Solution: Accept the rankings as submitted by the Purchasing Agent and approve the award to the highest ranking firm Redline Architecture, LLC.

This project will provide residents accessibility to the first time public health facility with a proposed area of 3,200 SF to be located in the rural community of Bruni, TX. The facility shall include a parking lot, fencing and sidewalks. The facility shall be operated/facilitated by the Webb County Indigent Healthcare Department and Texas A&M – College Station Colonias Program.
