To clarify, 228 RFPs sent out overall (not just to local firms), three RFPs returned. One was from the California firm, one from Austin, one from Cedar Park. One of the returned RFPs didn't meet the city's specifications, so the council chose the lowest bid from the remaining two.

Nearly 230 RFPs sent to local firms and only three replied? I say, let the company from California take the job! Maybe when they find out so much info about our fair city, they'll want to come and live here! And spend their money here!
