Committee recommends Wannemacher Jensen firm for Bayfront project

A selection committee recommended the firm of Wannemacher Jensen Architects Inc. to assist in the development of a community center at Bayfront Park. The town received 14 bids for the project. The selection committee consisted of five town staff members.

In May, the Longboat Key Town Commission directed former Town Manager Bruce St. Denis’ to begin the process of hiring a design professional in accordance with the state-required consultant selection process known as the Consultant’s Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA), which takes at least five months — leaving open the possibility of a March 2012 referenda vote about a community center.
