Background of the DSC
The Designer Selection Committee and its process was established by the Hennepin County Board in 1979 with subsequent modifications in 1983, 1994, 2002 and 2006. It is an advisory, non-statutory body that assists the county board and the county administrator in the selection of architectural and engineering consultants for major facility construction and remodeling projects. The DSC has no approval authority but does select consultants and recommends them to the county board for approval of contracts that are negotiated by county staff.
The DSC solicits architecture and/or engineering consultants via the following methods:
- Minnesota State Register
- Finance & Commerce
- AIA Project Announcement Newsletter
- American Society of Landscape Architects (MASLA)
- American Council of Engineering Companies (of MN)
- This Web Site
