• Adelaide Environmental Health Associates, Inc.
• H2M Architects, Engineers, Land Surveying, and Landscape Architecture, D.P.C.
• Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering, P.C.
• LiRo Engineers, Inc.

These four firms shall be asked to further compete for engagement on specific projects, typically capital improvement projects. The scope of work and the fees for each project will be presented to the Board for approval prior to the start of work.
