Following pre-design approval, the selected consultant may also be asked, at the discretion of the City of Malta, to assist in developing a final construction design, preparing construction bid documents, facilitating project bidding, and overseeing construction activities.

The selection of finalists to be interviewed will be based on an evaluation of the written responses. The award will be made to the most qualified offeror whose proposal is deemed most advantageous to the City of Malta, all factors considered.
